A Goodbye Letter To My Freshman Year Roommates
WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

Dear lovely roommates,

Today, I watched each of us carry our belongings and go our separate ways. I watched as we removed the sheets from our beds and rearranged our furniture. We said our goodbyes and that was that.

It is crazy to think that we are finished with our freshman year. I remember our very first day like it was yesterday. We were all a little nervous until our parents left and then it was like we were already friends. I don't think there was any awkwardness at all. We hit it off immediately.

Throughout the semester, we have had our arguments and disagreements like everyone else, but we always put our differences aside. We found a way to talk out our problems and overcome them. Even though we had some differences, we also had a lot of fun. There were few unplanned nerf wars and a lot of unplanned late night talks.

I absolute love how you guys encouraged me before big exams. I could always count on a "Good Luck" or "You got this" as I was walking out the door. When I did not do as well as I thought I would do, I could always count on a shoulder to cry on. Speaking of crying, I am so thankful that you guys were always there to wipe my tears when I broke down.

I love you guys so very much. No matter where we go in life I know that we will always keep in touch because you can NEVER replace your freshman year roommates.

Love always,

Judy

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.
