18 Thoughts I Had On My Last First Day Of College

I still haven't come to terms with the fact that this is my last semester of college and I will be graduating in four months. College has flown by and I am certainly grateful for all of the experiences I've had thus far. At the same time, it is difficult not to be nervous about the future. These are just a few thoughts I had on my official last first day:

1. "What do I wear? This is my last first day and I have nothing to wear."

"But then again, I am a senior, so I guess it doesn't really matter what I wear."

2. "I can’t believe I am starting my last semester of college. Maybe I should send mom a pic and document this important moment?"

3. "Hopefully I don’t get emotional today."

"I know I will though. This won't end well. Cue sobbing."

4. "I should probably head to class and stop thinking about my future."

5. "But what am I going to do once I graduate?"

6. "Where will all my friends be?"

"I don't want to be alone. I'm going to have roommate separation anxiety."

7. "What if I don’t have friends?"

8. "What if I don’t get a good job?"

"I just want to be able to live on my own and be happy, is that too much to ask?"

9. "Why are all the freshmen dressed so nice?"

10. "I wish I was a freshman again. That would be nice."

"Those were the days. I actually had free time then, something I miss very much."

11. "Why is this class so long?"

12. "It’s my last semester, why can’t I have a break from all this work?"

"This is too much. Go away senior thesis. I'm done."

13. "I hope I don’t have senioritis. I probably do. Oh well."

14. "Is this day over yet?"

"I don't think I can sit up straight anymore."

15. "I need a nap."

16. "I really need to fix my resume. I should probably do that. But how?"

"I am definitely going to need some assistance with this."

17. "Finally. Classes are done. That was a stressful last first day. I can relax now."

18. "I can’t wait to graduate. Or wait, maybe I’m not ready to graduate just quite yet."

"I am in a constant state of denial. Slow down senior year."

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
