5 Things I Want To Thank The Friends I Have Made In College For
Olivia Burgess

To my friends I have made in college, thank you.

1. For making the most of the awkward beginning with me.

For most of us, we haven’t had to really take this step in our lives since we were little so it was scary not knowing whether or not we would actually meet our “lifelong friends” as everyone has said you do in college. We were thrust into the situation of having to make new friends in a new place and you guys made it so easy to become close so quickly.

2. For making the transition easier.

Freshman year first semester in college is a big step for everyone. None of us have ever done this before and it is a whole new and sometimes rather difficult experience for everyone. You guys made it so much easier. After you leave many of your friends from home to go your separate ways in college, you lose the ability to go down the street to talk to them in person about your life. You guys are always right around the corner from being able to meet up when I need you.

3. For always being down to go to the dining courts.

This is an important one because who actually enjoys eating alone? Not me. You guys made it a whole lot less awkward for me to go and get stacks of plates at the D-courts and instead joined in on smashing all the food we can possibly eat. Shout-out Hillyb for being the prime spot.

4. For taking the time to get to know me.

Thank you for not being an overly judgmental person and actually getting to know me, I appreciate how you formed your own opinions on me based off of spending time with me rather than from what you heard from others. Thank you for not being the type of person who doesn’t branch out from their high school group and never took the chance to meet people.

5. For being just as psycho as me.

I am really glad I have found people who don’t pretend to be something they aren’t. Thank you for being authentic with me and making it easy for me to be real with you. I feel so blessed to have found girls who aren’t afraid to be their crazy, funny, sweet selves. I am so happy I have found some psychos who get me.

I love you people and I am so thankful you guys are in my life!

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
