Gone In The Blink Of An Eye

Reminiscing on Freshman Year

I was talking to some friends today and we realized we have exactly 35 days until we are done with the semester. Which means 35 days until we move out of the dorm. 35 days until we are no longer freshman.

I just watched the last episode of Friends so I was already feeling sentimental but now I'm reflecting on what all has happened in the last 8 months. I moved away from home, into a tiny little box, joined a sorority, met some amazing people, watched the Dawgs play an unforgettable season, took many trips to Cookout, spent countless hours studying, and ate way too many cookies from the dining hall.

And as much as I hate community bathrooms, leaving Brumby is going to be hard. Never again will I be able to walk 20 feet down the hall and be in a room surrounded by friends. It literally takes 60 seconds to walk to see my closest friends. For the last 8 months, I have spent more time in Brumby than anywhere else. It's where we've grown closer while growing up, where we've had movie nights and all-nighters, where we've celebrated birthdays and milestones. Some of my greatest memories from freshman year have been in Brumby.

While I'm so unbelievably excited for summer, I'm not ready to leave freshman year in the past either. I've never really liked goodbyes but I have a feeling saying goodbye to freshman year might be the hardest one yet. If these next 3 years fly by as fast as this one did, my college days will be gone in a blink of an eye. People told me at the beginning of the year that freshman year will be the best and I can say, it's sure going to be hard to top it.

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.

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.
