8 College Situations You Handle WAY Differently Your Junior Year Vs. How You Did As A Freshman

*sees freshman girl and sighs* Oh GOD did I SERIOUSLY do that my first year.

Chances are the answer is yes, you sadly did. The transformation between your first year and junior year is insane. Those three years might as well be the difference between toddler you and pre-teen you. In three years, you don't mature only emotionally, academically and physically but you actually start to understand the world around you more.

Frat Parties

Freshman: Omg, dude...DUDE, I got invited to a Frat party!

Other Freshman: OMG same!


Junior: Did he seriously just invite me to his Frat party? I feel downgraded.

Going Out

Freshman: *comes back from Forever 21 with a complete new outfit* Does this match tonights theme?

Junior: I wanna wear a skirt, but jeans are so much cozier to fall asleep drunk in.

Relationships with Professors

Freshman: *In 500 person lector hall* I don't know, I'd feel weird going to their office hours. They have no idea who I am.

Junior: Hold up, let me text my professor.

Tinder

Freshman: Come on, be 21, be 21....SCORE

Junior: I accidentally ended up in a dorm room last weekend.

Campus Feel

Freshman:*Finds friend, runs up and hugs them* Hello stranger in this big world.

Junior: Why is this campus too small? I just want to get from class without running into everyone I know while looking like sh*t

Dressing Up For Classes

Freshman: *hits the sidewalk like its the runway. Started getting ready at 7 am for their 9 am class*

Junior: *alarm goes off at 8:30am, rolls out and bed and throws on sweats to go to 9 am*

Friday Night

Freshman:

*Pre-game starts at 8pm*

Junior:

* 10 pm ...snoring*

Our Relationship With Alchole

Freshman: Dude, I still have some Four Loko left over from last weekend! We are totally set for this weekend.

Now: So, I have tequila, rum, white whine, rose....pick your poison.

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.

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.
