Dissolve

After months of waiting, the big day is finally here, and your big adventure is just beginning.


1. When you realize how long the flight is

2. When you realize you won't be sleeping on the plane because of the timing of your flight...

You'll be doing all the homework you don't want to be doing.

3. Trying to fight everything in your suitcase and realizing that you cannot bring every article of clothing you own

4. Trying to remember where your passport is

5. How every single person you have ever talked to wants a gift, but you are to broke for that

6. The moment when you remember you actually know none of the languages that you will be immersed in

7. That moment when you are asked where you are going for the 1000th time, but it doesn't matter because you do not mind the bragging

8. Trying to figure out when you are going to do all the assignments you are missing out normal school

9. Realizing that none of your clothes are good enough for this trip because you already know you'll constantly be taking pictures

10. Realizing how much money you need and how you will do almost anything to get it

11. That moment when you realize that the everything will go by quicker than you can capture on a phone

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.

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.
