To The Senior Who Can Decide Where To Go To College But Not What To Eat For Dinner

Picking a college comes so easy to us, but for some reason when it comes to meals we second guess ourselves?

To The Senior Who Can Decide Where To Go To College But Not What To Eat For Dinner

As a graduating senior, it can be so tough to pick a college. There are so many options and the opportunity to possibly see somewhere new is so exciting. There's so much to think about though. Who offers the best program? Where will you get the best financial aid? Where do you feel you will fit in the most? And most importantly, which one feels most at home to you. It's a lot to think about for sure. But the decision you make is almost always the right one.

For me, the college I attend wasn't even my first pick. Or my second, or my third, or even my fourth. It was what most of us called our "safety school." The one we knew we would get into, but we really didn't think we wanted to go to.

Towards the end of my decision making, it made more sense for me to come here. The financial aid was good, and the campus had such a home like feeling. I actually applied to my college right after my visit and didn't tell anyone until I got accepted. After a lot of thought, I decided this was where I actually want to be. And it may have been the easiest and best decision I have ever made.

It's funny how we can decide where to attend school, and spend thousands of dollars, but we can't decide what to eat for dinner? Truthfully, every day I face this tough decision and I question myself every time. As if what we eat for dinner is a life-changing decision. If only I could be as confident in that decision as I was deciding where I want to obtain my degree and literally build my future at. I'm sure the rest of you face this struggle too.

Or am I the only one?

Do I want to cook, get Jimmy Johns, McDonald's? Maybe I'll eat somewhere on campus? Or maybe I'll just starve myself until I can make a decision. It's more stressful than choosing a college to attend because I'm so indecisive! Nothing ever sounds good. And even when it does we all have been to the point where we're not sure if it's the right choice. Because we're worried we'll regret our decision may be, and there's no going back. But I guess we can always transfer if we decide our college isn't the one for us.

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.
