So once again I am sick here in Milwaukee. I cannot fathom why I keep getting sick, but the worse part about being sick at college is my dad is not here to take care of me. Since my dad works from our house, he would always take care of me when I stayed home sick or left school early because I was sick. Technically, I know how to take care of myself after years of experience, but nothing is better then having someone else take care of you. Anyone that says otherwise is lying!!!!! My dad would make me lunch and give me my medicine. My dad would spend the day with me watching T.V. and trying to make me feel better so I totally miss it here at school.
I hope to be better by next week, but until then I will be spending as much time in my room resting.

When the Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers......
Last Monday night made my entire football season....
On November 4th, 2013 the Chicago Bears played against the Green Bay Packers and WON!!!!!!! My entire floor in West Tower watched the game together. The funny thing was that out of twenty people there were three Bears fans. We told the guys that the largest couch in the lounge area was a Bear Fans Only couch and they were not allowed to spread their Packer germs on it. The game was so much fun to watch since Rodgers and most of the starters were out on injuries. I just kept thinking that with all the money that the Packers have to spend on players you would think that they could afford better backups? Wallace was a joke of a QB and you could tell that he did not trust his pocket whatsoever. When the game was over, the three of us jumped up off our Bears Couch screaming and just high fiving we were so happy. The best part of the entire win was that whenever I talk to a Packers fan about this game the only excuse they have is that Rodgers was injured and if he wasn't out then the game would have gone completely differently. Being a Bears fan in a Packer dominated town is tough, but it just got a whole lot easier since I can officially say that the Bears beat the Packers at Lambeau Field in GREEN BAY, WI!!!!!!!

Weird Things Wisconsin People Say: The Bubbler
So I think that I will just start with a little background for everyone. I am from a suburb of Chicago called Elgin, IL. Since attending UW-Milwaukee, I have learned several common Wisconsin phrases that I never knew were even words. So I want to use this blog to discuss my new life at college as well as my life in Wisconsin.
My first blog will be about The Bubbler. Anyone not from Wisconsin, like myself, has no idea what that means. The bubbler I found out is a WATER/DRINKING FOUNTAIN. Apparently in 1889, Kohler Company created a type of water fountain that would bubble water out of the faucet. This was then named the bubbler because of the bubble affect it had while in operation. I have never had so many talks about water fountains in my life. What is really sad is that the Bubbler history I just told was told to me several times by my friends. I have never heard of a water fountain called this and another scary thing is that all around campus there are actual signs that say bubbler, like in the library in the photo. I have been told the argument that "people do not say pass me a facial tissue, they say Kleenex" and this is true, but Kleenex still makes facial tissues which was my argument.
As a Marketing and Accounting major, I can appreciate a consumer's loyalty to a brand, but Kohler no longer sells bubblers as they actually were linked to spreading diseases. This should automatically mean that anyone that calls the water fountain a bubbler is incorrect in their terminology as Kohler is not the even the maker of the water fountains across campus.
I know that I will have several other posts about my life in college in Wisconsin, but I cannot wait to have those arguments with my friends because it keeps life interesting. Now I am going to prepare for the first Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers game of the 2013 Season.
