From A College Junior Who's Thinking About Graduation
Brookings

As I sit working on all my final college assignments for this semester I feel so psyched out realizing I am the end of my college journey. Yes I know I'm not graduating till next year but I'm nearly there. College has gone by so fast, so many beautiful and painful moments and memories. I sit back and realize that I'm almost done with this part of my life. My life changes every school year but this time next year I will completely done with this part of my life. Even in a week when junior year is over I will closing the page on junior year. I've been on one hell of a journey the last three years of college and part of me is sad to know it's coming to the end. Most people maybe don't think about this the way I do but it probably adds to my thoughts that I have two close family members graduating in less than two weeks. It could also be my disastrous high school graduation saga that contributes to me feeling so introspective towards junior year. I have a good year full of ups and downs failed relationships and new relationships built, but junior year has been a beautiful lesson. Like freshman year and sophomore year, this year has been a blessing and a life changing experience. At this moment I feel content and happy with my life. I am patiently waiting for summer and to enjoy life, not only that but I am ready to redo senior year and graduation. I am ready to continue to succeed and fail. I am ready to appreciate every moment. To all my fellow juniors appreciate each moment and really soak in life.

This is one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite wrestlers AJ Lee and I hope it will inspire you all:

"Break the rules, be a fighter,any dream is possible if you are brave enough to do it your way"- AJ Lee

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.

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.
