New Year, New Me

It's not cliche if it's true, right?

I'm never one of those cliche people who set unachievable New Year's resolutions. I've never been one of those people who think a new year is going to begin and I'm going to become a totally new person.

Until now.

In the last 4 months, I've changed a lot.

I've grown as a person. I've learned more than I ever thought I would about myself and who I want to be.

So I'm going into this new year a little different. For lack of a better phrase, "New year, new me."

Well, kind of.

I'll be the same me I've spent the last 4 months becoming. But I'm definitely not going to be the same me I was this time last year, or even 6 months ago.

So many things are about to happen to me this year. I'm going to graduate college. I'm going to have a bachelors degree. I'm going to get a full-time, adult job.

So obviously, I'm going to be a new me. I'm going to be in a totally new place in my life.

I'm ready to have literally the best year of my life. I'm ready to have the most fun ever in my last semester of college.

I'm ready to enjoy my last moments of being able to do whatever I want before I have to think about bills and adult stuff.

I'm ready for all the new experiences I'm going to have this year. I'm ready for new opportunities and tons of adventures. I'm ready to do things I never dreamed of or thought I'd actually do.

Yeah, of course, it's cliche to say, "New year, new me." But when it's actually true, how can it be?

I know a totally new and better person is going to come out this year. It's already started. I can't wait to see what happens and where this year takes me.

No matter how cliche it is, maybe 2018 is the year of a new me.

I'm definitely ready for 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.

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.

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.
