The Most Anticipated Moments in A College Kid’s Life

When you are in college, there are certain moments that none of us can contain our excitement. It can literally be the most random of things, and yet we still “can’t even." The moments that shorten our breath, speed up our heart rates, drop our stomachs, and leave us in awe of the life we are living. No, they aren’t the greatest moments, but they are moments in life that we know we are destined to have at least once. This is the initial test for “adulting” and how we handle these times determines whether we pass or fail. Yay reality!

1. The moment when a professor tells you the exam will be open book. It’s like a breath of fresh air for the people who just don’t study (cough cough…me)

2. The times when you all decide to buy Chacos, hammocks, or ukuleles, and then suddenly you have this hipster cult that is oh-so Instagram-worthy.

3. Or, that time when you find out that class is cancelled on the day you are running so late you almost forget shoes. You know what I’m talking about, don’t act like shoes are the first thing on your mind when you’re late.

4. That moment when the cafeteria decides to have awesome, FULLY EDIBLE food! It’s like HALLELUJAH PRAISE JESUS!

5. Those days when you realize you have free time, and that means binge-watching a Netflix series—because why not?

6. The horrifying moment you realize you want to change your major, and you already wasted two semesters on what you had currently been pursuing.

7. The time that you are rushing to write a paper due by midnight, and get it done just in time, because let's face it, who actually does those types of papers?

8. Then there is that moment when you actually score in an intramural sports game! (cue singing ALL I DO IS WIN, WIN NO MATTER WHAT, GOT MONEY ON MY MIND, CAN’T EVER GET ENOUGH!)

9. And don’t forget the day before finals when you actually go to bed on time, and realize what it feels like to get your life together. I personally never feel more adult than when I go to bed at the same time my parents would.

9. The hilarious moment that you think the incoming freshman taking a tour, are so cute and clueless, and you can’t decide whether to yell either: “Welcome to College!” or “Run! It’s a trap!”

10. And finally, the day that starts out crap, but great friends bring you a snack and make you laugh till you can’t breathe; those are the moments worth living for! I’m just saying, gummy bears, Powerade and good friends are the difference between going to bed smiling, and crying in the bathroom Skyping your cat.

Let’s face it, college can be crazy, random, hard and confusing. The moments like these, and so many more are what makes it so worth living and enjoying the crazy ride! But if you are anything like me, you know you wouldn’t trade a 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.

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.
