Two Years Down, Two More To Go

Watching College Fly By in the Blink of An Eye
College In Colorado

Sophomore year is coming to a close in approximately 37 days or less. When my 18 year old self first arrived at college, I believed that I had all the time in the world. I figured that four years sure would maybe go fast, but at this point it is going faster than I would have ever believed. While I aim so very excited for the upcoming years ahead of me, it is sad to watch time fly this quickly.

College has been an absolute blessing. I have made some of my best friends here, they are basically my family. They are the best gift I could have asked for. College has shown me so much about myself and the great big world around me. There are so many options and so many things to do and see.

Attending my University has been yet another absolute blessing, it has offered so many interesting course and has rounded me into a better person. In just two years I’ve learned more than I did in four years of high school.

As I’m thrilled to begin my summer pretty soon, it’s scary to think that I have limited summers left, I have limited time left and then pretty soon it’s going to be all new again.

Junior year has a lot coming for me and I’m excited, but it’s safe to say I’ll miss being that underclassmen in her dorm room, change isn’t easy while the routine is comfortable.

I know that it’s important to enjoy my time left as a kid, but it’s hard to say that the good old days are coming to an end much faster than I would like. I love everything about college, I guess that’s why people call it the best days of their lives.

I’m currently having the time of my life, it’s the time to enjoy myself and have unlimited amounts of fun. While I don’t want this time to end, all good things must. These first two years of college though has made me learn more than words could tell. Its life lessons, academic lessons and little and big lessons, ill eventually take into the next chapter of my life.

I will use my nursing classes in my career, I will cherish the friendships I’ve made and what they have taught me about myself.

I cannot believe how fast the first two years have flown, and I can’t even think about how fast the next two will fly. However though, even though the years will pass, clocks will tick on, memories and polaroid’s last forever and this incredible time in college will never fade from my memories.

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.

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.
