6 Feelings We Have About Starting Our Final Semester

It's the start of a new semester and for some of us, it's the beginning of our last semester. For those of us who are graduating soon, there are lots of different feelings and emotions we have coming into our last semester. We are excited, scared and everything in between.

1. We are excited!

It is exciting to think that in a few short months we will be graduating. We have worked hard to get here, and it is good to see our hard work pay off. We will also be moving on to pursue our goals whether that be graduate school or going into the workforce.

2. We are scared.

We only have one more semester to finish all our applications for jobs and schools, and that just doesn't feel like enough time. We also have to pass all our classes, so there is a lot of pressure riding on us during this last semester.

3. We are sad.

We are almost done with undergrad and we never thought we would make it, so it's relieving to know we are so close. Plus, there are things we won't have to do again like sign up for classes and pull all-nighters cramming for tests, at least at the undergrad level. Unfortunately, those of us going to grad school will still have to do those things.

5. We are nervous.

We are about to end one chapter and start another in our lives. Many of us are not certain of our futures. We are waiting to hear back from potential schools and employers and it can be pretty nerve-wracking not knowing what you will we doing this time next year.

6. We are ready!

We may be scared about finishing our last semester and what our futures may hold, but we are ready for the challenge. We have worked hard to get here, and we aren't going to let bumps in the road stop us from accomplishing our goals, whether they be to continue our education or to get our dream job, and we still have a few more months to figure it all out!

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.
