14 Thoughts You Have During A Mid-College Crisis
europapress

As finals week approaches, and spring semester comes to an end, many of us will be saying goodbye to our sophomore year of college, which marks the halfway point in our college careers. While this may seem normal from an outsider's perspective, it brings about much more complicated feelings from the inside. Here are 14 thoughts you have during a mid-college crisis.

1. I'm So Old.


2. I'm Not Ready To Be An Adult.


3. I Can Barely Take Care Of Myself.


4. What Have I Been Doing With My Life For The Past Two Years?


5. How Did Two Years Pass Without Me Noticing?


6. I Was Supposed To Have Completed Two Internships By Now.


7. I Only Have Two More Years To Figure Out What I Want To Do With The Rest Of My Life.


8. Do I Want To Go To Graduate School?


9. What If I Picked The Wrong Major?


10. What If I Don't Find A Job?


11. How Soon Do I Have To Start Paying Back My Student Loans?


12. I Might Only Have Two More Years Of Homework.


13. And Grades.


14. But I Still Don't Know What To Do.


But guess what? It's okay to be lost, confused, and panicked. It's normal. Our friends, parents, siblings, professors, and even our favorite TV show characters have gone through the same thing. It's scary because it's unknown, but that's also what makes it exciting.

So take the time to figure out what you want in the next two years, and if it takes longer than that, that's okay too. If you ever feel stressed and alone, just know that since there are so many people feeling the exact same way that you are, USA Today had to write an article about it. So to all the rising college juniors in the world, we'll get through this together.

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.
