Keeping It Together As A Senior, As Told By A Senior Who's Not Keeping It Together

Well, it is almost time for graduation. T-minus four months until graduation and all the doubts and worries start to fill your head. Is this really what I want to do for the rest of my life. I have to find a job I'll love otherwise I'll hate my life. Where am I supposed to live? What if I don't make friends at work? What's going to happen if I can't find anything? I don't want to move back home. I don't know what my future holds. I have no idea what I want to do.

If that sounds like you, know you are not alone. As your last semester begins and everyone starts asking you what you're going to do, it's normal to feel all the feelings of uncertainty and worry. I mean most of us are in our early twenties, so to think signing onto a job that could be where we retire is extremely intimidating and unappealing, in my personal opinion. I don't like the idea of going to the same workplace for 30 years waiting for each day to be over. I don't want to live my life working for the weekend. I want to love what I do and look forward to doing it every single day.

While four months seem like a short time, a lot could happen that you don't see coming. It only takes one day to change everything. One day you had no jobs lined up, the next you could have your dream company offering you a position. Who knows what the future holds? Worry and stress don't change what God has already planned for your life, so why waste your energy in what could be or what might be. Put your energy towards the excitement and preparation of what's to come. Four months is the perfect amount of time to tie up any loose ends as a college students and start to plan for the next phase of life. Don't be intimidated by change, embrace it!

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
