Hey gang! Wasn’t Mifflin rad? I bet we all did totally awesome things that were original and hilarious that we can’t really remember cause we drank SO MUCH, amiright? Except I, ever your faithful columnist, did not make it to Mifflin this year. I could pretend that I was swayed by the wise words of Lori Berquam, or that I decided that Mifflin is sophomoric or that I was busy seeing a band you never heard of because they are still underground or whatever, but alas, I would be untruthful. Nope, I didn’t make it to Mifflin because of freaking Lyme Disease.

We all know how stressful it is finding off-campus housing in Madison, and that is in a town we know and presumably with people we know, as well. Imagine, then, finding housing in a big bad city. If you have done this before, you will know what I am getting at. If not, then prepare yourselves for the excruciating and uncomfortable experience that is finding housing post-graduation.

Aaaah, springtime. Everything is in bloom, nobody cares about school and Cinco de Mifflin is close on the horizon. It is a truly glorious time of year. However, April does not just bring out the flowers or adorable baby critters, but something else much more nefarious: runners.

So I know I promised earlier this column would focus on campus life, but this little Shapiro spent her spring break down in Dixie. It was a week-long, whirlwind road trip filled with barbeque, gators and arguments about abortion rights at gas stations. I have nearly endless silly Southern tropes to discuss, but I will stick to the most important part of the trip. I am talking about the Duchess of Butter herself: Mrs. Paula Deen.

As I explained when this column debuted, Little Shapiro, Big World is about doing things that are outside my comfort zone. These have been, and usually will be, situations I actively seek out that make me feel squirmy for comedic purposes. However, there is a big difference between uncomfortable and terrifying. This anecdote falls in the latter category.

I do not get football. It is hard to follow, looks incredibly painful and lacks the narrative quality of more poetic sports like baseball or soccer. My distaste for football has never been much of an issue since I come from a family and town in which nobody gives much of a shit about it.

There are two things, dear reader, you should know about me before embarking on this column. First, despite my best efforts, I am a coastie. I grew up in Westchester, N.Y., cherish my hooded North Face as if I gave birth to it and will never really understand Packer fans. That being said, unlike most New Yorkers who come to UW-Madison, I lived in the public dorms, never joined a sorority and prefer pants over no-pants. I have effectively separated myself from campus coastie culture and spend most of my time with good ol' Midwestern folk, don'tcha know.

Winter break is a wasteland for productivity. It is too short in which to accomplish anything significant and too cold to ever make you want to leave the house. This, of course, means television. A lot of it. "Family Guy," "Law and Order: SVU" or, whatever, "The Price is Right," because the remote is all the way on the other side of the living room and your skin has begun to grow into the fibers of your parents' couch.
