Confessions Of A (Very) Busy College Girl

Confessions Of A (Very) Busy College Girl

Let me just start by saying that yes, I do know that being busy is 100% my choice. But, I honestly love being busy and having a jam packed schedule.

Here's a little look into what my life looks right now for the first semester:

I am in the Honors College, taking five classes (three of those classes are considered "honors" classes) on campus and three classes online, I work anywhere from four to five graveyard shifts every week at Dutch Bros Coffee, I am a writer and the Editor In Chief for the Odyssey Online at Boise State, this weekend I am going through sorority recruitment, and on top of that, I try to make as much time as I can for my friends and my family.


Now, some may say (and some have) that I am absolutely crazy to have a schedule like I do at nineteen years old, let alone love it, and maybe I am. But, having a schedule as busy and jam packed as I do makes me feel accomplished. But, I will admit, I think this semester of college is the busiest I have ever been. But here's the thing...like I said before, it makes me feel accomplished and proud. And being able to say "I did it" at the end of the semester will make everything worth it!

Now, most of the people in my life (friends and family) are beyond supportive of me, my jam packed schedule, and busy life....but for those who aren't or still don't get why I do this, here are some things I want you to know:

-When you question why I have such a busy schedule or why I even do this to myself it makes me feel bad....

-....Because everything that contributes to my busy schedule and my busy life is really (really) important to me.

Trust me when I say there is no way I would do what I do if every single thing that made up my busy schedule and life didn't mean A LOT to me.

-My friends and family are still my number one priority....

-....If you ever need me (or any of my friends or family need me) I am still always going to be here for you, no matter what.

My friends and family mean the world to me and I will drop anything for them if they need me, I don't care what it is, what time it is, etc. if my friends or family need me I'm there no matter what.


So thank you to my friends and family for constantly supporting and being there for me....even with my crazy schedule.

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.
