In this article, I empathize with my fellow soon-to-be graduates, and give them tips and encouragement to keep them (and myself) going! Also encouragement for post-grad life.

Dear College Student Who's Graduating, You've Got This
Lucy Mayers

Hey people that are graduating in December or May!

Are you excited, worried, stressed, or all of the above?

Don't worry, I'm right there with you, along with thousands of other people!

You're worried about your grades' outcomes leading up to graduation? So am I!

It's that time where we sort of feel like we're stalling out and losing our last bits of energy. Don't lose hope or attention! Finish out strong, and do your best, you got this! Believe me, I'm counting down the days til graduation, and I'm so sick and tired of school, but graduation being so close will motivate you to work hard!

You're worried about finding a job, because you still haven't found one yet. Everything doesn't pay enough, or they require a Masters degree. Some jobs are just too far away for it to be worth it. Believe me, I'm there too, it'll all work out.

Just because your roommate or your brother got a job right after graduating, does not mean that you are dumb or not as successful. This doesn't mean anything! Your job industry might just have fewer available options than your roommate or brother's job industry. A lot of people experience being jobless for a while after graduation just because of the availability of jobs. This doesn't undermine your success!

You will find a job! Keep your chin up, we're all in this together.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
