Graduating a semester early is something that many college students decide to do. While the percentage of students graduating early varies from school to school, there's one thing that all college students graduating early share: "Am I sure?" We have a million thoughts running through our heads every second.

1. What am I going to do after I graduate?

Giphy

They always say major doesn't equal career. But what the heck do I want for my career? What do I want to do with my life? I only have so much time left to figure it out!

2. Omg these job applications though

Giphy

Job applications all ask the same questions... over... and over... and over. Why can't they just auto-fill in my responses. God knows I've filled out like 30+ applications already.

3. Maybe I’ll just push graduation back a semester

Giphy

Well... if I fail this class I can push back graduation at least another semester. Then I would have more time to figure out what I want to do and spend a little more time in college before going into the real world 100%.

4. No I’m poor I need to graduate

Giphy

However, I actually have zero dollars in my bank account to pay for any more rent or tuition. Not to even mention the countless bills I have to pay for college crap.

5. Where am I comfortable moving?

Giphy

There's an opportunity in the middle of Nebraska? I've never been there. How about Wisconsin? How many hours would I have to spend on the road to visit my closest relative?

6. Is it time to just drink away my worries?

Giphy

It's five o'clock somewhere right? Senior year means all the stress and none of the fun. How else are we supposed to make it through?

7. Senior year, don't care

Giphy

I don't care if Kappa Apple Pi has a big scandal. I've got an exam in two days but catch me at Mid instead. SYFI. #iykyk

8. Wow I’m gonna miss this place

Giphy

I'm going to miss all the little nuances of my semi-small college town. The cute brunch places, the things only college students do, all my friends, football, etc...

9. Wait... no I’m not

Giphy

On the other hand... I hate crowded bars and little freshman boys. Nevermind I am definitely ready to move on.

10. My last __________

Giphy

My last first day of school... my last football game... my last date function... this is all so weird.

11. How did time go by so fast?

Giphy

It's time??? Already??? How did we get here? I guess it's time to move on and decide what I'm going to do with the rest of my life now.

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.
