300 Words On Being An Only Child
Rachel Riggs

Being an only child is pretty cool don't get me wrong, but it also has its down sides. No, we do not get anything we want. Yes we tend to need more attention that most. No, I don't thing world revolves around me. Okay, so that last one might has been a lie...Begin and only child is kinda sucks though. You have to do all the chores you would usually share. You won't ever be ask to babysit. And most importantly, you don't have anyone to blame. don't get me wrong, Its great at times.

When Christmas rolls around more for you. And do you know how many scholarships there are for only children. Being an only child means you get to pick the pet, but it also means you take care of said pet. Your parents come to everything you are in, but they soon realize you actually suck at sports and make you practice with them all day. You don't have to share attention, but let me tell you if someone messes that up it can be hell on earth. You go from one extreme to another and that's not cool. You are the trial child, but you are also final child.

When it comes to getting older and going out with friends your parents are usually pretty chill about things because you never had an older sibling to mess things up for you, but sometimes then can be a little over protective because they have never had any other reason than that is was there first time. Sometimes being and only child can be cool. Some times it can really stink. But in all reality that's how it is in life. We grow from every little thing.

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.

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.
