8 Things To Do Before Heading Back To College

As happy as you might be in your college town, there will always be certain things from home that you just can't find at school. Make sure to take advantage of them before you go back. You never know how much you miss something until it's gone. That applies to food as well.

1. Go to your favorite restaurant and eat the meal your going to miss the most. No matter have many carbs it has.

There's always going to be that one restaurant you miss while you're away at school, and no matter how hard you try you can't find a place that can replicate their buffalo chicken wrap with fries and ranch dressing.

2. Have one last night out with your best friend before you are separated again.

Whether it's just dinner and a movie or going to a party in your hometown, don't forget to spend time with your best friend. Especially if you're going to be away from each other.

3. Spend a night in with your parents.

It will mean more to them than you know, and you'll probably laugh more than most of your nights home.

4. Go to the place you'll miss most while your away.

Your favorite place in your hometown can never be replaced. There's something calming about this safe place that really is home.

5. Eat your favorite home cooked meal with your family.

There's nothing quite like your favorite meal with your family.

6. Pay extra attention to your pets.

The most comfort you can receive at home is the pets you grew up with and they will miss you when you're gone.

7. See all of your family.

You might not see your extended family all the time, but make a point to see them before you leave.

8. Go eat at Chick-Fil-A for breakfast and lunch because you won't have it at school.

Those 1000 calories will be worth it when you can't have it for 2 months.

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.
