10 Things You're Thinking While Getting Ready For Move-In Day
Odyssey

So, the moment many people (not me) have been waiting for has arrived: it's time to move back to campus! If you're riding this particular struggle bus, here are some things that you're definitely thinking.

1. Oh, I don't have THAT much stuff... I can start packing later.

Yes Netflix, I AM still watching!

2. I should Pinterest some decorating ideas...

I need to know EXACTLY what I want my room to look like when I get there!

3. Ok, for real, I move back in a week.

There's so much to do... but only 100 pages left of this book! Power through!!

4. Finishing that book reminded me of all the other things I wanted to accomplish this summer!

Reinvent my wardrobe, redo my bedroom, buy a cat (dreaming...), etc. I can do all that this week, right??

5. Whoops, move in is in 3 days... and I've packed nothing.

Have I packed my room stuff or my clothes? No. Have I bought any textbooks? HA. Am I going to crash and burn... TBD.

6. Oh... now move in is tomorrow.

No reason for alarm-- I have a full day to pack!

7. Well, I have successfully stalled all day, and now it's 9:00 p.m. and I have done NOTHING.

THIS is reason for alarm...

8. I'm stressed, so I'm going to grab a snack.

I can't think straight when I'm hangry, ok??

9. OH MY GOSH IT'S 11:00 AND I'VE DONE NOTHING!!!

How do I even start?? What clothes do I need? WHERE ARE MY THROW PILLOWS???

10. Well, it's 2:00 a.m., but I DID IT!

Everything is packed, and I'm ready to roll!! But... I'll never procrastinate that badly ever again (yeah, right.)

So now, you're all set and headed off to school! And, if you're anything like me, you still cry as soon before your mom even gets back in her car...

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

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.
