Meet Syracuse Odyssey: Caroline

Hellooo!!!

I am Caroline and I have been writing for the Odyssey for almost a year now, but haven't gotten the opportunity to introduce myself!

I am a Sophomore at Syracuse, originally from Boston, MA (Go Pats)! I am a Policy Studies major in Maxwell school of Citizenship and I LOVE my major. It revolves around community service and I am hoping to maintain a focus in education throughout my studies. (Peep one of my past articles and you'll understand how much it means to me (https://www.theodysseyonline.com/community-service...) Also I am in love with Syracuse.

I went to high school in Manchester, MA (I don't know if you've ever seen the movie Manchester by the Sea, but that's where I am from and I promise its not nearly as depressing as they make it seem. In high school I played lacrosse and volleyball, literally my two favorite sports ever I miss and love them so much... I worked at a very crusty ice cream shop and a pizza restaurant that wasn't very organized, but hey no job is perfect.

Last year I lived in Brewster Hall (yes the one that was basically in the ghetto, but it was also my favorite place in the entire world. It's where I met my best friends and began school at the place I now call home. I now live in Ernie Davis Hall, which is incredibly nice, but the social dynamic is not nearly the same, (mainly because my guy friends CHOSE to live off campus).

Second semester last year I went through recruitment and it was an amazing decision. I joined Tri Delta on campus and had the opportunity to meet so many new amazing people. I definitely chose the right house for me and I would encourage anyone on the fence of rushing to try it out and see how it goes!

Overall I'm living a pretty chill lifestyle right now, I try to go to the gym everyday, but sometimes I am unsuccessful, and I try to do well in school but struggle with focusing. I love my roommate, my friends, and my house, and I'm glad I finally got to introduce myself!

PEACE!

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.
