The college process is incredibly stressful and tedious. When it's all finally over though, it all seems to work out and the college everyone ends up going to just seems like it was meant to be. If you are already in college, though, you are one of the lucky ones who have begun to do these things:

1. Forgetting homework is no big deal now.

2. You suddenly lose all motivation to do any more than the bare minimum.

3. You frequently make excuses for yourself by saying, "I'm in college, who cares?"

4. You try to weasel out of your responsibilities by trying to get your parents to do something for by reminding them that "I got into college!"

5. You finally come clean to your parents about some of the things you never actually did or studied for, that happened to work out.

6. You order every piece of apparel and accessory off of your accepted college's website.

7. And then you flaunt your new look everywhere you go.

8. You struggle to reign it in at times, because you know that other people are still in the thick of the college process.

9. But sometimes, you can't help but just jam out to the fight song when you are home alone.

10. You join the accepted students Facebook group, and you are instantly overwhelmed by all of the posts and friend requests.

11. You begin stressing out about rooming and classes, even though that's so far in the future.

12. When post your Facebook status of "X College Class of 2021" you feel like a celebrity.

13. You think back at the time before you knew where you were going as the dark days.

14. When you see someone wearing your college's apparel you get so excited and ask them if they are going there.

15. When people ask why you picked this college you could spend hours going over everything that made you fall in love.

16. Even though it's been a few weeks, you still are sometimes in awe of how lucky and excited you are for this opportunity.

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.
