I still can't believe that I completed my first year of college and that I will be a sophomore in a couple more weeks. College may not get easier, however, but another year will teach us how to be more responsible and appreciate the challenges we deal with every day.

1. I have people I get to see again and more people to meet

Another year to spend with my buddies and another opportunity to meet more people!

2. I have zero regrets about my major

I have always loved books, so that was why I picked English to major in. It's not an easy major, but it's still worth. It means I have a lot more to learn.

3. ... and my college decision

I never imagined that I would pick the college I attend. Just like Sully said, I love college.

4. Becoming more prepared

Attend your classes, do all of your homework, maintain a social life, and a sleeping schedule.

5. Becoming more confident

Ready for a new year, ready for more time with my friends, ready for new housing, ready for learning, and ready for more opportunities.

6. You still have a little more time to think about studying abroad

How can it be possible to go to college without studying abroad?

7. Especially internships

An opportunity for a resume booster and piece of life experience.

8. You're a year older and wiser

You can help more freshmen on how to succeed their first year and give them more insight.

9. You learn from your freshmen year mistakes

It's not about the mistakes you made. Instead, it is about how you learn from them.

10. New housing

You get a different perspective on different dorms.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
