Moving Away from Home

How can you survive at such a long distance from home?

So here I am, a month later with some successes, failures, and stumbles along the way. It’s been the most fun, stressful and tolling month ever. From moving 511 miles away to start a new life, leaving everyone and everything behind, to realizing that my majors are just a pain in the ass sometimes.

I miss my absolutely amazing friends and camp family back home. I stand in front of the photos hung up on my wall and smile, remembering the happiest times of my life. They were my rock in high school, and I couldn’t have made it through those tough 4 years without those weekend trips to New Jersey, senior prom sleepovers, road trips to D.C. and endless laughs at summer camp. I miss those days so much, but I know that break will come sooner than we know.

Ohio has given me so many things that I will forever be grateful for, including a new group of girls to call my family in Alpha Omicron Pi. They are a hilarious and open-hearted sisterhood; it’s such a blessing to have them in my life. Thank you to all my amazing friends for stressing over bio with me, cracking jokes to cheer me up on stressful days, telling me things will look up and that everything will be okay. College is stressful, but I know that they are always by my side through good and bad times.

So here’s to the late night caffeine rushes, looking up at the stars at night, late night karaoke sessions and best friend reunions to come soon!

Sincerely,

The small town girl

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
