I Don't Want To Graduate From College Just Yet

These are the best years of your life, why would you want to leave?

I Don't Want To Graduate From College Just Yet

Just as the title says, I do not want to graduate from college.

Ok, of course, I want to graduate in order to obtain a degree, and progress in life. But also I kind of don't want to because I am going to miss my friends, my life in this crazy college town, my apartment, and being on my parent's payroll. (Need I say more?)

I am just not all that jazzed about having to pay real bills, get a real job, and being a real adult. I am not afraid to say that I selfishly like running around college and not worrying about anything other than what I am going to wear out that night or where the next birthday pre is going to be.

College is literally the best time of your life where you make some of your best memories and it makes me salty af that we ever have to leave this magical place. If you do not feel this way about your soon-to-be alma mater then you definitely spent the last few years at the wrong place.

Think back to when you were graduating from high school, you would count down the days until you were free of that prison, but graduating college is literally the opposite. I refuse to even learn the date of graduation. (Even though my family is constantly asking.)

Everyone knows that all good things must come to an end, therefore I am thankful for the time I had in college. I am so lucky to have met friends I hope to keep for life, and even luckier to know that I can look back on these years and hold securely in the fact that I appreciated every moment of 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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
