The experiences that you make in college are a lot like a roller coaster. You will have some amazing times with the friends that you make and will learn from your experiences. You will also be beyond stress and will develop a love-hate relationship with your school. This emotional roller coaster is best described by the one and only Jess Day from "New Girl." Her quirky and fun attitude perfectly describes the college experience.

1. The more that your friends get to know you, the more that they see the real side of you.


If they are your true friends, then they will stick with you.

2. When you get to eat anything but the dining hall food.

The dining hall food is never good. The rare occasions that you leave campus to get food are important moments because you forget what real food tastes like.

3. Your bed is your best friend.


You are constantly tired and need caffeine in order to function. Naps are essential and when you get back from your classes you just want to lie in bed all day.

4. Presentations can be painful.


This will especially speak to you if giving presentations is a struggle for you. The pep talks before giving a presentation are constantly running through your head; you tell yourself that you got this, and that your face will not turn into a tomato.

5. When you or your friends see someone attractive and internally freak out.

They play it cool but need to stay in the dining hall for another half hour because he's there.


6. When your friends help you pick out your clothes for going out.

You always need your roommate and friends advice on what to wear out to the club.

7. Getting called on in class when you're not paying attention.


There are always those moments when your professor will randomly call on you. This will usually happen when you are in the middle of daydreaming. There’s always that moment of panic where you sit there in silence staring at the professor.

8. Getting the best advice from your friends.


You always have your friends to keep you sane. Remember, they always give the best advice.

9. When your friends are blunt with you because they care.


Your college friends will be blunt and call you out on things but it is important that you know they are saying these things because they care and the majority of the time they are actually right.

10. Taking care of each other when you party too hard.


Your friends will always be there to help you after too much partying at the club. They will make fun of you but those are usually great nights that you can laugh about with them.

11. When friends and family ask how you are doing.


When your family and friends from home ask about how you are doing in school in the middle of your intense work load, you try to play it off cool but you always end up telling them what's really going on.

12. When you have no idea what's going on in your classes.


There will be times where the professor will give a whole lecture and you will have no idea what is being talked about. At some point you have to find a way to figure it out because next thing you know there is a test on it.

13. Midterms and Finals week.

These weeks are usually the worst weeks in college. There will be many nights of all-nighters full of studying.

14. Halloween.

Halloween is a great excuse to party even more and take the stress off.

15. When your friend has a car on campus.


If they are a true friend, they will take you out to eat, and most importantly will take you to Dunkin' Donuts.

16. When you get into a fight with your friend.


If you are someone like me who hates confrontation, you will find yourself having to suck it up because you can't escape your friends. It's best to deal with the situation immediately because you know that whatever fight it is that it's probably stupid.

17. When the people in your dorm building are loud.


The worst is when you just hear people screaming for no reason at ungodly hours. There are also times where people are randomly running in the halls for dear life.

18. When you ace a test and do good in your classes.

It's an awesome feeling when you work incredibly hard on a test or assignment and get a good grade on it.

19. Netflix will always be a part of your daily schedule.

There will always be room in your life for Netflix. Whether it is "The Office" or "Dexter," you know that these shows will help you try to forget the million things that you are supposed to be doing.

20. When people feel that their majors are more important than yours.


The most annoying thing is when other people feel the need to share that they get the most workload or that their majors are more important than yours. This isn't a competition and every field is different and not easy. We should all just accept the fact that we all work hard and are going to be in important jobs in our futures.

21. Finding yourself in college.

College will honestly help you to find your identity and be comfortable with who you are.

22. Making some of the best friendships.


You always have a great time with your friends and find yourself in situations that you will talk about with them forever. Whether it is having movie nights or going out together, you know you will always have fun with your girls.

23. Having a blast because college can be really fun.

College can be stressful but overall you will have some of the best times. You will learn more about yourself and will make some of the best friendships.

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.

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.
