7 Thoughts You're Having If You're Ready To Go Back To College
Glimpses of Charleston

It’s that point in the summer, just a few weeks before move-in day for school and I am teetering on the verge of insanity. Not sure if I’m fed up with being at home, working full-time, missing squad or a combination of the three but I’m actually more than ready to go back to school...I NEED to go back to school. These are the thoughts in my conscience at the moment.

1. Why do I have a curfew?

If your parents are like mine then when you move back home for the summer you magically take a trip back in time to when you were in high school. All of a sudden you go from total independence to curfews, phone calls just to “check in,” and a multitude of other rules that are a nuisance. I love my parents but I am ready to be back doing my own thing.

2. Where are my friends?

During the summer I miss the hell out of my college friends, especially the ones that live out of state. Though I do enjoy seeing my home friends that go to different colleges it has been far too long and it is time for the squad to reunite.

3. Schedule me, please.

I function so much better when I have a predetermined day-to-day schedule. I am a creature of habit and I enjoy structure. During the summer I lose that and it makes me feel out of control. I’m a control freak, give it back to me.

4. Can I turn up now?

One of the best things about college is that you can stick to the study grind all week long and then relieve all your stress in the party scene on the weekend. Nothing compares to getting all gussied up with your girls and then dancing away the stress from the week. I need this back.

5. I need to stop eating all day long.

During the summer I find that I spend the majority of my day stuffing my face with food. Mostly because of boredom and free time, I fill the void with snacks. Not good. Like, who puts on weight in the summer? Only me. Time to get back hit the gym again and get on a regular eating schedule.

6. Give me knowledge.

Most people dread school and they would probably be the normal ones. I, however, love learning and am looking forward to getting back in the classroom. I am not ready for the papers, finals, tests, and stress but the gaining of knowledge I’ll take it.

7. Where the boys at?

My dating life certainly goes dormant during the summer and I need it to reawaken. ‘Nuff said.

I am ready to go back to school. Time, please speed yourself along.

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.

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.
