You've given me so much to look forward to for junior year, but before I go, I just want to say thank you.

A Heartfelt Farewell To Sophomore Year Of College
Ashley Oldham

Hey Sophomore Year,

I know goodbyes are tough, but I think it's time for you and I to part ways. I'm sure you can finish the rest of the saying, but it's not you, it's me. Another year older, and I've grown another year smarter, stronger, and a plethora of other great adjectives that I could probably go on and on listing, too. You gave me so many amazing memories and friends, and you've taught me more about myself than I ever thought possible.

You showed me what I, myself, can do, showed me that I can indeed major in something that makes me happy, and that I don't necessarily have to force myself to major in something that I'm not passionate about in any way. You helped me learn that the future is what I make it, and that there are more options and career paths out there than I initially thought.

You taught me that getting a job doesn't have to be a burden, and you gave me the opportunity to work in places that I honestly never thought it would be possible for me to work, and you allowed me to meet so many amazing people along the way. You also showed me that being in a school club can indeed involve more than just showing up to monthly meetings. You gave me the chance to truly get involved in a club that I am very much passionate about, and I am all too excited to continue my involvement in it in the future.

You allowed me to strengthen friendships that I gained during my first year of college, and I couldn't be more happy about that. You've given me the chance to make so many memories with some of the kindest and most compassionate people I have ever met, and I can only hope next year will allow these friendships to grow even more. You've also allowed me to gain new friendships, to meet new people and make so many fun memories that I never would have thought I would be able to have last year.

You have also given me the chance to learn so many new things in my classes. I've been able to read wonderful books, and learn so much more about literature than I ever imagined I would be doing before this year, and I'm all too excited to see what sort of learning next year might hold.

Sophomore year, you've really been amazing. You've given me so much to look forward to next year, so many amazing opportunities both in and out of the classroom, and I am more than ready to see what junior year is going to hold, but before I go, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for a truly wonderful year.

Sincerely,

An excited and slightly sentimental college student

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.
