My Favorite Reunion Of The Summer

Summer is filled with getting together with old friends.

My Favorite Reunion Of The Summer

When I was entering the 7th grade, my parents made the decision to pull me out of my grammar school that I had attended since I was 5 years old. It was so hard to leave all my friends who I had known for years and knowing I wasn't going to be able to graduate with them in the church I had grew up with made me really sad. Fast forward 8 years later and I realized it was the best decision of my life. I probably wouldn't be the person I am today or have the friends that I do almost everything with.

I was somewhat excited that someone from my old grammar school decided to try and get everyone together for a small reunion, I was all for it! It had been years since I've seen some people so I was really excited, but super nervous. I felt like I missed out on a lot of experiences they went through and just thought I wouldn't fit in. We talked on the group chat for two weeks and pretty much all agreed that it was probably going to be awkward because we all haven't seen each other in a while. Boy, were we wrong.

The day finally came and I must admit, there was a point when no one was talking or the guys and girls were split up, but after a while, we all got used to being around each other. We talked about how college was going or how work was going, old memories while we were growing up, and how our families were doing (since we all grew up together, so did our parents). We listened to music, had hours of laughter and eventually went out to dinner. We sat outside eating cheese fries and pizza puffs, and enjoying the beautiful weather. Towards the end of the night, we decided to go to a party. We all car pooled to a mutual friends house where we danced, listened to music and had a good night. The night ended with us going to grab tacos at 2 am and more memories being shared. I must admit, after seeing people who I didn't really get along with or I haven't talked to in 8 years, made me really nervous about how the night would turn out. I never expected it to turn out this well, even if there was only 8 of us. It made me miss them and it kind of sucks that we waited till the end of summer to all get together. I never thought that we would all plan to try and get together again.

A reunion is a MUST after so many years apart. It makes you appreciate everything you have in life, including old friends. It's good to drop any drama and grow up a little and just have fun. Who knows what an argument was about when you were in the 6th grade or who you were "dating" in the 7th grade, but you should be able to reunite with some old friends and have some good laughs. My night turned into something better than I expected it to be, and I'm really happy I decided to go to the small reunion.

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?

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.
