Saying Goodbye to My Junior Year of College is Hard

I am a transfer student and while I got the perks of saving money on GE classes and having a junior standing designated on my transcript, finishing my junior year at college was definitely an eye-opening experience.

I got involved and made new friends. But most importantly, I learned more about myself and what I liked and didn't like. I made new friends and landed my first job at one of the departments in the school there.

But my experience is different because I didn't come in as a freshman. I came in with two years worth of general education, only needing to finish up my major requirements. The saying, "make the most of the experience" rings true for me during my junior year of college.

Sure, junior year is probably the hardest for some of us. I find it hard to say goodbye because it is the last year before I move on to my senior year of college. This coming September, I'll be a senior in college finishing up my last requirements and then I cross that stage with my degree.

It's all those years of schooling for a piece of paper that hopefully put to a good use in the employment market and even then, looking for a job requires patience. College is only for a limited time and before I know it, I am walking on that stage shaking my dean's hand and accepting my diploma.

Junior year is the middle year that college students get adjusted to their campus. It is also a time that we prepare ourselves for the future. Even though my junior year was hard to say goodbye, I've come to embrace and accept it with a full heart.

Enjoy college while you can. Take the time to explore yourself and tap into your talents. You'll thank yourself later.

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.
