Goodbye Semester, Hello Summer

Give yourself time to relax.

The semester is over for some of us so now it's time to go home and start thinking about next semester. Wait no, not yet.

So many people fret the next semester while it's only beginning to become summer and let me tell you, don't waste your time. The break in between semesters is for students to relax, reflect and take their time before jumping back into it. Some people are just very studious and love to learn but also some people are so stressed from the previous semester that they need time to wind down and breathe.

The next semester for most people will not begin until mid-to-late August meaning we still have quite a few months until we get there. These few months give people time to take on other tasks such as jobs, vacation, hanging out with friends, etc. Rushing into the notion that the next semester is "just around the corner" will just mean more stress. Who wants to be that stressed? It's time to let the past semester be in the past and it's time to let your mind rejuvenate before next semester.

There will come a day when students won't have summers off so it's probably best to take advantage of it while we still can. Some students work throughout the entire break but at least it's not something we're tested and graded on (exception: summer courses). I don't even want to think about next semester until at least July. Just give me some time to relax.

I'll be entering my senior year of college in August and I know that after that it'll be the full road ahead on my life so I'll definitely be relaxing for my last free summer.

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.
