I can't even express how fast this year went.

8 Thoughts I Have As My First Year In College Comes To An End
Lauren Smith

With only two weeks left of college, I can't believe I am almost done with my freshman year. It seems like just yesterday I was moving into my dorm about to start a whole new journey.

Here are some of the thoughts rushing through my head as freshman year comes to a close:

1. "How is it the end of freshman year already?!"

Like seriously. That went by way to fast.

2. "I am getting so old."

I'm almost 19, living in my own apartment next year, and have to really start thinking of a career path. OMG.

3. "Wait... I'm not living in a dorm next year."

As I just made my schedule for next semester, I have to keep reminding myself I am not going to be living in East dorms anymore. So, I really can't base my schedule off of how close East is to certain places.

4. "I have so much to do these next two weeks."

Finals, end of the year assignments, quizzes, homework, formals, OH MY.

5. "I need to find two formal dresses."

Formal seems like so much fun and I can't wait to go, but even this is stressful.

6. "I have three finals so I need to start studying NOW!"

No joke. If I don't start studying now, I really don't know when I will have time to.

7. "In two weeks, IT'S SUMMER!!!"

This is the only thought getting me through these last two stressful weeks— a four-month vacation from school.

8. "I am going to miss my friends so much."

I don't want to leave my friends. I love you guys so much. Don't know how I am going to go this long without seeing you.

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.
