2 Truths and a Lie About Going to a Women's College

Growing up I never thought I would fall in love with a women's college. Most of my friends were guys and I just seemed to get along better with them. However, when it came time to choose where I wanted to go to college, it was an easy choice. I've always wanted to attend Meredith College and it's the best decision I've ever made.

Truth: The Strength of the Sisterhood

The biggest thing that I've learned about attending a women's college is that without men, women don't feel the need to tear each other down. Women's colleges erase societies need to pit women against each other. The sense of community and, as cliche as it sounds, sisterhood is so prevalent and I've met some of the most amazing women in college.

Lie: Everyone is Preppy

I'll be the first to admit that there are definitely some preppy girls, but that's only a small fraction of the student body. There's a diverse group of women. There's girls interested in theatre, in sports, in history, in science, who love anime, who love volunteering, who advocate for the environment, and for black rights, and for lgbt rights, and so many more. There's bound to be a group for every type of individual.

Truth: The Education is the Best

Small class sizes allows for more one on one interactions with the professors. The biggest class I ever took was Introduction to Psychology with 49 students, but the majority of my general education classes have about 25-30 students. Professors get to know you and genuinely care about your education, not just in research and writing another book. I've grown so much academically because of the passion of my professors.

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.

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.
