An Open Letter To My Future Self As I Close The Book On College
Cassidy Burger

Dear Future Me,

I hope that by the time this letter applies that you are completely confident in the field you are about to go into.

I hope that you feel that all of those hours doing homework, all the mental breakdowns, all the times you felt like you couldn't do it anymore were worth it.

I hope that during your time as an undergrad you found some of the best friends the world has to offer. I hope you found your bridesmaids, best friends, as well as the women you want to surround yourself with for the rest of your life all wrapped into one.

I hope that you achieved all that you wanted to when you came to this school as a freshman with bright eyes, knowing that college was going to bring endless possibilities.

I hope that you studied abroad in one of the places that you've always dreamed of visiting. I hope that you were able to experience a new culture and feed just a little bit of your appetite for travel.

I hope that you were able to do the Disney College Program, a dream that you've had for years.

I hope that with each passing year you gained even more confidence within yourself.

I hope that you are graduating with more hope than you've ever had for the future.

I hope that you feel ready to tackle on your career head one.

But mostly, I hope that you are leaving with memories that will last a lifetime. After all, they say that college is the best four years of your life. I hope that they were a great four, but I hope you know that this is just the beginning to a great rest of your life.

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?

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.
