13 Things You're Probably Thinking If It's Your Last Fall Semester Of Undergrad

It's an exciting time.

You're in your final fall semester of college already and you honestly can't believe it. I mean it seems like it was only yesterday that you were a freshman, who was new to campus and the entire experience that college has to offer.

If you're getting ready to go into your last fall semester undergrad then you're probably feeling some of these things yourself.

1. "Well, time to start getting serious about what's next"

I mean there are so many options. Grad school? Actually finding and applying for your first post degree job? So many options.

2. "How do I actually start going about looking for a job in my major?"

And what does that actually look like.

3. "Ok, What classes do I need still need for the spring in order to actually graduate?"

Are there any other major required classes needed to graduate? Do you need an internship?

4> Speaking of internships... "Do I need one and if so, how do I go about getting it?"

The best way to find out is to talk to your advisor.

5. "Do I need to apply for graduation?"

If so, then when and how?

6. Ok, so what do I actually want to do with my degree?"

How do I go about doing that?

7. "Time to start applying for jobs"

That is if you can do so, while still working on your degree.

8. "What type of professional portfolio/resume do I need?"

And other subsequential questions such as "How do I go about making my resume attractive and professional enough for potential employers?"

9. "What else do I still need to do while I have the time to do it?"

10. "Do I have any room for "fun" classes in the spring?"

Especially if there is something I had always wanted to take but couldn't, such as a tennis or scuba diving course.

11. "This time next year, Ill be a fully fledged and functioning *insert degree here*."

And for some thats a scary thought.

12."I'm not ready for this to be over yet."

13. "Am I really ready to be a true working adult?"

Like really ready...

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.
