A Love Letter To My Major
Cailey Walls

A love letter to my major,

I chose you because passion is what I live for and you are my passion. Whenever someone asks me what my major is, not even a nanosecond goes by before I blurt out your famous title to the curious. The reactions I get when I say your name are always different. Some surprised, some worried, some excited and others remorseful. I know you are not a walk in the park, but I am willing to give you my all for these four years.

I have given up a lot for you because that’s how committed I am. No sleeping in, I take 8 a.m. classes to ensure I have more time in a day for your homework. No nights partying, I give up my social life every time I’m invited to go out and answer “No, I have to study.” No trips to the beach or late nights around the fire, I give up my summers to take your classes. That’s how devoted I am to you.

I am and will be in debt for more years than I’d like because I wanted to make sure I’d receive an education that would do you and I both justice in the future. Mom and Dad have warned me of the horrors of student loans, but I reassured them of how strong my love is for you. You have put me on a track of hard work and taught me many valuable lessons that I will use for the rest of life. Time management, public speaking and organization are just a few of the skill you gave me confidence in and I thank you for that. I was never able to put myself in front of a crowd and ramble about a topic until I realized every topic I got to talk about was so important to me in its own odd way. Don’t even get me started on how organized you have made me, you should see my notebooks, Cornell Style and color coordinated.

I complain and preach to the choir about how much work I do on a daily basis. I have developed bags under my eyes and a strong love for coffee from staying up late with you at night but you have also given me friends for a life time and memories that I could not replicate. As much as I stress over your midterms and practical’s, they are all worth it. I will admit smiling while reading my text book and not being able to stop once all the information finally makes sense.

When I walk in my cap and gown on graduation day I’ll think of my first days with you. The ones where I was equally excited and terrified. The nights were I studied an extra two hours, just to be safe. The days where I got grades I could not be more proud of and some I wish were a little better. The friends that shared smiles and tears with me in your classrooms and labs. All the days.. the good, the bad, and the even worse will be some of the best days of my life. I loved being a part of your major and I will forever be proud to say I was yours for so long.

I love you, _________.

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.

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.
