How I Got A Job.

Attempting to Be An Adult As Told By HIMYM

We all get to that point in our college career: when we finally have to come to terms with the fact that college isn’t just a party. Freshman year might have been filled with complete freedom, but soon reality hits and you have to realize just how close you are to entering the adult world. And, there’s no better way to prepare for this world than by interning places. But, all this “adulting” is way more stressful on a college student when they are still in denial that they are becoming a real person pretty soon.


No job? No problem. Everyone is broke in college, right?

The first year or two of college is awesome because there isn’t a care in the world.


But, all of a sudden all of your friends have serious internships…

Are they kidding? I thought we were in this together.


Now all of a sudden you have to figure out what you want to do with your life

You have a few months to figure out what you want to do for the next few decades.


Making professional profiles online is hard when you have no professional pictures

So a selfie isn’t good enough?


What does it mean I need skills?

Well, can lie in bed for hours and binge watch Netflix.


Is anyone going to actually want me to work for them?

I’ll cross my fingers.


I guess this means I have to act like an adult now

How do you even do that?


Maybe I’ll wait until next summer to get an internship

It can’t hurt, right?


I could go to the beach… or I could be a responsible adult

The beach always wins.


Why does no one want me??

Internship searching is just full of rejection.


That’s it, I’m not adulting today

I probably won’t be doing it tomorrow either.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. 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:

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.
