It is officially going to be my last spring break as a college senior in less than a week.

I will be the first to admit that it is a rough reality to accept. No more guaranteed breaks from work and stress. No more trips or fun activities with friends or family. No more putting my life on hold for a week because I can, so I will.

I know that I am not the only one feeling the reality sink in as spring break approaches, though. So, here’s to all my fellow college seniors who may or may not have realized that they are starting their last spring break, and are feeling the following five emotions that come with it.

1. Panic

Will we ever experience another break again? Will we ever be able to spend extended time relaxing with our friends somewhere warm, whether on a vacation or in our own backyards? Since when did we become adults with responsibilities?

2. Disbelief

Did we not just finish spring break during our freshman year? I swear that it is only my second semester of college and I do not have to have my future planned out. Simpler times …

3. Dread

It is officially our last spring break or vacation as students. From here on out, we may have vacation days, but there is no guarantee that they will be consistent. Also, we will never again experience the relief when midterms are over and we can head home.

4. Nervous

If the weather is anything less than perfect, I will lose my mind. I need spring break more than anything else in the world right now. Everything has to go according to plan.

5. Excited

Even though it’s the beginning of the end, there is still plenty to look forward to. After all, I have never done a spring break trip with a friend, so this time next week, I’ll be living the dream with my roommate in Punta Cana.

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.
