Heading Into Your Final Semester Of College, As Told By 'Saved By The Bell'
NBC Productions

You are one semester away from graduating. Entering the real world, getting a real job and starting your real life. Though the best seasons of "Saved by the Bell" feature high school antics, they still somehow have the perfect reaction to realizing you're going into your final college semester.

When the email comes through saying you're approved for graduation

And all your friends get it too

Rewarding yourself for 7+ semesters of hard work

Not taking any sh*t from guys at the bars anymore, or even wanting their attention

Cleaning up your social media for potential employers

Coming back from a job interview that you thought went well but from experience you know you'll probably never hear back

Enjoying your last few months of not having to pay for your gym membership

Seeing freshmen dressing up and going out 3 times a weekend and neglecting their studies

Having a few too many girls' nights

Fixing your hair to go to the bar wearing Moccasins and a dirty sweatshirt

But dancing the night away with your friends and not caring one bit what anyone thinks

Jotting down every professional's email at the job fair

Seeing your dream job posted and then seeing it requires 17 years of experience

Endorsing your friends on LinkedIn for proficiency in Microsoft Office

Networking literally everywhere you go so SOMEBODY will be so kind as to offer you a job

Planning your final college spring break

Listening to those unrelated, have-to-take-you-to-graduate-class professors lecture

Hearing underclassmen complain about the campus food that you'd give anything to eat

Seeing new people coming in and taking over your organizations executive teams

Trying to be a different and more professional person on every copy of your resume

Watching Facebook looking for that first "I got the job!" post so you can officially start worrying

When you pass your freshman dorm and realize how quickly time has passed

But then everyone starts talking about all the "lasts" this semester will bring

And even though you're going to miss the hell out of this place and these people...

...You're prepared and excited for what's to come next

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:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
