5 Ways To Get Ready For UD's St. Patrick's Day

If you didn't already know, St. Patrick's Day is one of the best days of the year. It's an excuse to dress up, take cute pictures with your best friends, and get inappropriately drunk before 11 a.m. For those of us who are lucky enough to attend one of the colleges listed on "BroBible's 15 Best College St. Patrick's Day Parties in the U.S." (cough, cough UD), then you have probably been counting down the days until St. Patrick's Day ever since last year's day-drinks ended.

In efforts to prepare for the long-awaited holi-dage that is finally approaching, I came up with some tips to help you get ready for what's in store.

1. The outfit. To me, dressing for success is not just a saying, but more a standard of living, so that's why the outfit is number one on the list. Whether you choose to keep it subtle, with a green shirt, or get decked out in "Kiss Me I'm Irish" shirts and "Shake Your Shamrocks" pins, you know you've got to be looking your best -- because, Instagram. Duh.

2. Green bagels. You cannot drink all day if you don't start in the morning, so it's important to make sure that you eat a good breakfast. Delaware students know that NDB is the best pre-dage meal, so make sure your bagel is just a spirited as you are so you can take a Snapchat of it to make all your friends from high school jealous of your cool, new life, because we all know that's what Snapchat is for, anyways.


3. Green beer. I contemplated not even putting this on the list because it's probably a given, but just to remind everyone, green beer is a necessity. First of all, it's a conversation starter because people will definitely ask you what you're drinking. And second, like I've previously mentioned -- Snapchat.


4. Makeup. Boys, feel free to skip over this step, but ladies, take notes. Your St. Patrick's Day makeup definitely plays a key role in your outfit. Use some green glitter eyeshadow to do a smokey eye, or wear green eyeliner to make your eyes pop. Also, shamrock face stickers are super cute and will definitely add some festivity to whatever look you're rocking.

5. The pre-game plans. This may be last, but certainly not least. Obviously, pre-game plans are an important part of any Satur-dage, but they are even more important on such high holidays. If you are anything like me and my friends, you've had a Facebook event planned out for quite some time, now, but if not, my best suggestion is that you get on that. The pre-game is where all the cute pictures and the good times with your best friends take place, so this is definitely an integral component of this list. Make sure you start early, because it's the best day of the year and you wouldn't want to waste any second of it.

So get ready, get set, and dage! It's finally St. Patrick's Day at UD!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
