The first week back at college is unlike any other. There's tons of freshman getting lost and seniors panicking about graduation. You can't walk to class without someone yelling about joining a club you've never heard of. It's basically straight up chaos. Here's what most people are thinking:

1. Where am I going??

Even if it's your junior or senior year, you're bound to have a class in a room you've never seen before. Just because you know where the building is does not mean you know how to get to the room!

2. OMG I MISSED YOUUU

*Insert classic girls screaming about how much they missed each other* I'm totally guilty of this....

3. Where's *insert friend's name here*?

What do you mean they went abroad????? oops.

4. They better not start lecturing the first day

Unfortunately, my school doesn't understand the concept of sylly week...

5. I miss my mom's cooking

As much as I love getting to have all of my meals with my friends, nothing beats my mom's meatballs and sauce.

6. I need more Command Hooks!

You can never have too many, trust me.

7. Why are people so loud??

Ahhhh the joys of dorm-living. Just because you and your roommate want to get 8 hours of sleep doesn't mean someone isn't going to play music at 3 a.m..

8. Who's throwing?

No, nothing is physically being thrown around, but you know people are eager to get back out there.

9. I know I learned this last semester, but....

Summer has this magical ability to erase a few months of studying, gotta hate cumulative material.

10. I miss my dog already

This might be the most common phrase I hear. This is usually preceded by an Instagram story captioned "The hardest goodbye".

11. I'm really going to stay on top of my classes this semester!

We say it every time, and who knows? Maybe this semester will be different and I'll be on top of things at least through midterms.

We're all in this together, have a great semester!

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.
