Nearing The End Of This Chapter Of My Life

Change is good, especially when you make it good.

With all the events and the fast pace that is associated with the end of a school year, I’m making sure that I’m taking advantage of every moment. I only have about a month left at this school, with the perks of living here and the friends I have here.

After Spring Break came and went, it really hit me that I’m going to be leaving soon to go to a new place to have new experiences. In some parts of this transition, I am fully prepared and ready for this change to happen, but in other areas, I’m not ready to take that step forward.

It’s so exciting to think about the great classes I’ll take and the great opportunities I’ll have, but the typical “new student” fears creep into my mind. Will I be able to make friends? Will I actually be able to do all that I want to do? Did I make the right choice to make this move?

Where I am right now, I’m not sure if all of my questions will be answered, but I do know that with both sides to this change, the good will outweigh the bad. Moving forward will be different than what I’m used to, but I have to take risks in order to find where I’m supposed to be.

With what I’ll be leaving behind, I’m making sure that I don’t forget about them. My friends, the environment, Charleston; I can’t possibly forget all the great memories I had here. I’m not entirely ending my connection to Charleston. I’ll see my friends again and I’ll visit Charleston again, but it’ll be different, which I’m strangely alright with.

With what I have to look forward to, it’ll make everything worth it. Why else would I have even thought about such a big change? There’s so much I’m looking forward to at Georgia that it just calms my worries about this change. Finally I’ll be able to study what I want, meet new people, go back to old hobbies, and get back to Athens.

Although I’ll be missing Charleston, I am so ready for this next chapter of my life. As each day countdowns to the start of my move, I hold my breath and prepare for everything that is to come. I am so thankful for what has happened for me, and for everything that is going to come.

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.
