"Out here in the middle..." -Frankie Heck

20 Times 'The Middle' Described College

1. Packing


2. When you see a dog on campus.


3. When you wake up and get an email that class is cancelled.


4. Why. Am. I. Always. So. Hungry.


5. Your parents aren't around to tell you what to do.


6. When people on your floor decide to play music at 2am on a Tuesday night.


7. When you wake up motivated and say that you are going to catch up on homework.


8. When you are forced to participate in ice-breakers during orientation your freshman year.

9. Waking up an trying to dress somewhat nice for class but then giving up and deciding to wear leggings and a sweatshirt instead.


10. Giving your first college class presentation.

11. When you threaten to quit school and just live with a bunch of cats (or dogs, or any animals really) instead.


12. When your parents encourage you to make new friends during your freshman year.


13. When your professor asks the class if everyone understands the work and you not yes but really mean no, kinda sort of.


14. When you start to consider your life decisions.


15. Getting a package from home and hoping it's some kind of your favorite snack.


16. That point when it's Thursday but you still have to make it through Friday classes before the weekend.


17. Wanting to sleep all day, every day.


18. When you have that one class that seems impossible and has nothing to do with your major but is a requirement to graduate.


19. Getting a good grade on a midterm/final and realizing that your hard work paid off.


20. And finally...when you can't quite tell what they're serving in the dining hall but decide to try it anyway.

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.
