Freshman Year vs. Senior Year

Freshman year: “Oh my gosh, I'm in such great shape since I've been playing sports my entire life! I don't even need to work out!"

Senior year: “I'm so fat I could die, who wants to come to the gym with me?"

Freshman year: Boxed wine. Natural Light. Burnett's.

Senior year: Still boxed wine. Michelob Ultra. Fireball.

Freshman year: FRAT. FRAT. FRAT.

Senior year: Willy D's, Stir, West End.

Freshman year: Row week — “Oh my gosh let's try to get all the wristbands and go to EVERY single house!"

Senior year: Row week — “How many fraternity guy friends do we know that would actually give us a wristband?"

Freshman year: “Who needs sleep? SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!"

Senior year: “I swear to God if I don't get my 8 hours of sleep AND a nap in today, I'm going to kill you."

Freshman year: “Let's call a pledge driver!"

Senior year: “Who's sober enough to drive us home?"

Freshman year: "I want to be a doctor when I grow up!"

Senior year: “Is it too late to switch my major to education or nah?"

Freshman year: 400 new sisters means 400 new friends!

Senior year: Movie night with the only 4 legitimate friends you have. Lots of wine. Lots of gossip about the people you hate (which is everyone else).

Long story short, the differences between freshman year and senior year are quantity and quality (respectively). You just figure it out as you go, and you begin to realize what's actually important to you; also, you turn 21 in the middle of it, and that's pretty cool too. Regardless of what point you're at in your college career, college is still the best time of your entire life. Don't waste any time, choose your friends wisely, and do whatever you want — and if you think you'll regret it in the morning, sleep late. Cheers.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
