5 Thoughts All College Seniors Have
Luke Photography

Starting your senior year of college is an absolute roller coaster. You probably feel a mixture of excitement, relief, terror, anxiety, happiness, hysteria, sadness, apprehension, ecstasy and a million other emotions which just sort of leave you feeling nauseous. I feel you. I dedicate the following to my fellow seniors in college! 5 Thoughts All College Seniors Have:

1. Is it too late to change my major?

Despite dedicating your entire college career to one subject--or despite trying eighteen subjects and finally settling on one you do not despise--you still experience a moment of panic during your senior year when you do not know whether you have chosen the right major. Perhaps you should have been a Business major instead! They seem to be in high demand right now...

2. I'll never get a job.

More and more statistics come out every day about how millennials are struggling to find not only jobs in their preferred career field, but jobs in general. At this point, you would be happy to work for minimum wage if it means you will be employed in some way.

3. I'm not ready to #adult.

How do I pay bills? How do I work a full-time job and still manage to have the time and energy to do the laundry and have a social life? You used to think people in their 20s were adults, and now you just feel foolish. You probably wish you were 5 years old again and playing with your imaginary friends in your back yard.

4. I can't wait until I graduate!

Although you are absolutely terrified to be out in the 'real world,' there is also something so liberating about graduating from college. You are tired of all of the pointless drama. You are tired of people finding fulfillment in drinking and partying all the time. You are ready for something different--something more.

5. This it it!

There is no going back after graduating--unless you plan on going to grad school. But once you walk across that stage and hold your diploma, you are in the real world. You are expected to be a functioning and productive member of society. With that status comes a whole world of respect and pride you never could have imagined. Welcome to the rest of your life!

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
