13 Things Seniors are Tired of Hearing

Being a second-semester senior is tough, you’re busy searching for a job and attempting to become a grown up while also trying to enjoy every moment you have left at college. Hearing nagging questions and sad realizations repeatedly doesn’t exactly help the fact that you are just trying to survive your last semester of school and also get into the real world. Next time you talk to a second-semester college senior consider refraining from saying any of these phrases.


1. Are you graduating on time?

I sure hope so!

2. What are you getting a degree in?

Sleep and Netflix because that’s all I do every day. Totally kidding, something that is very broad because I still don’t know what I’m doing with my life but can be applied to anything.

3. And what exactly can you do with that?

I’m still trying to figure that out too, I’ll get back to you on that one.


4. Have you applied anywhere?

Oh don’t worry I have.


5. And have you heard back from any companies?

Oh don’t worry I haven’t.


6. Are you going to move home?

*Sighs* Don’t wanna talk about it.


7. Or are you going to stay in your college town?

I WISH.


8. Are you sure you don’t want to go to grad school?

I’m not really sure, thanks for asking!


9. When are you getting married?

I’m just trying to graduate let’s not get ahead ourselves here.


10. Have you started saving for retirement?

Retirement? I’m still in college, I don’t even have enough money saved for the rest of my meals.


11. “You’re going to miss college”

I haven’t even left yet and I already do.


12. “Time to start acting like an adult”

But I’m trying to enjoy the few non-adult months I have left, I DON'T WANNA!!


13. “The real world sucks”

Sounds like it!

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.
