The First Day Of Classes As Told By Jessica Day

It is August. With less than a month left until the first day of classes it is time to face the facts; you do actually have to go back to school. It seems like it was just yesterday when you arrived home from taking your last final exam. You had worked hard and were ready to full your summer with Netflix, friends, and vacations. Now, as many of your friends are starting to head back to their colleges out of state and your list of TV shows you had to watch is slowly becoming shorter, you are realizing summer will be over soon. As much as you are dreading it, It is time to buy your books, get supplies, and make everything perfect for the first day back. It is going to be a long year.

1. Realizing summer is over

How did it go by so fast? You are still trying to process the reality of going back to school.

2. Looking for the perfect outfit

You do not want to try too hard but you also don't want to look like you just rolled out of bed. It is all about finding that perfect balance between the two.

3. Making your hair look just right

Of course your hair never looks how you want it too.

4. Arriving on campus ready to have a great day

You wake up early, eat a balanced breakfast, and arrive on campus with time to spare!

5. Walking into your first class and seeing people you know

No one wants to sit alone on the first day of class.

6. When your professor assigns homework on the first day

What ever happened to syllabus week? You definitely are not mentally prepared to have homework today.

7. When a cute boy walks into the classroom

You are feeling good, looking good, and secretly hoping he will sit next to you.


8. When he starts talking about his girlfriend

It's okay, he wasn't really that cute anyway.

9. Realizing all of the classes you picked are going to be super hard

Why did you do this to yourself?

10. Listening to people talk about their summer

Just smile and nod.

11. When you need a book right away but the bookstore wants to charge you double the price the book costs on Amazon

Who has time to wait for three day shipping?

12. Trying to come up with interesting things to say about yourself to new people

Making new friends is hard, but small talk is harder.

13. Sitting in class wondering when you can go eat lunch

Learning makes you starving. As long as it's food, you'll eat it.

14. When you can finally go home

You've had a long day. It's time to relax.

15. Knowing you have to do it all again tomorrow

Summer seems like a distant dream and you're counting down the days until winter break.

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.

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.
