You've finally done it. You've successfully completed your college career! All the blood, sweat, and infinite tears all brought you to this day. While you'll never forget these wonderful college years and all the great memories you made, you may find some of the not-so-awesome aspects of college haunt your dreams for years to come.

1. Never having a break because the work followed you home.

2. Questioning the meaning of life thanks to spending 17 years doing nothing but school. 

3. Having to put the equivalent of a down payment on a house just to afford textbooks.

4. Irregular sleeping patterns.

5. Irregular eating habits.

6. Never truly being able to relax because you were always thinking about a test, project, grade, homework, etc. 

7. Spending more nights in the library than your bed.

8. Preparing like you’re about to fight the white-walkers with your bare hands every class registration period. 

9. Never being able to park within a five-mile radius of campus.

10. Being late to class because the bus you had to take, because of no parking, was late.

11. Gaining weight.

12. Having awkward gaps between classes when you don’t know if you have enough time to go home but also think you might die if you stay on campus.

13. Needing to choose two of the following three things: social life, good GPA, or healthy lifestyle.

14. Finally realizing you actually only have time to choose ONE of those. 

15. Group projects.

16. Group projects that weighed more than anything else for your grade. 

17. Having to buy your own scantrons for the exams you’re being forced against your will to take. 

18. The worry that comes with knowing that the weight of how your life is going to go in the future is relied heavily on how you do in college. 

19. Getting to know the Starbucks menu all too well.

20. Breaking down crying when you have no idea why. 

21. Feeling like you’re paying to receive busy work.

22. Feeling like you’re paying for someone to read you PowerPoint slides. 

23. Being broke. 

24. Running like Forrest Gump when you had back-to-back classes on opposite ends of campus.

25. Those classes you were required to attend but never brought value to your life. 

26. Reading and rereading your textbook while attempting to force the information to stick for once.

27. Driving in a town that is populated with a bunch of 18-22 year olds. 

28. No rounding up even if you're only down by .01%. 

29. Having a trillion random numbers in your phone from people you wouldn't even be able to recognize. 

30. Senior-itis. 

While these are definite downsides to college life, you have many more positive memories of college than negative ones. You're sure going to miss the time you spent at your alma mater, but it's time for the next chapter!

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.
