It's time to say goodbye to the best years.

To our seniors,

The time is here. For some it’s a happy time. For some it’s a sad time. But for most of you, it’s a little bit of both. I can’t imagine being done at Georgia Southern. Just the past two years here have been some of the best of my life and a lot of you have played a huge role in that. Going all the way back to my first few days here and becoming a part of the best sorority on row, to meeting all of my best gals down Greek row, to every human in the School of Music, this placed has blessed me with the most amazing people.

For all of us who are still here and have some time left, it’s so sad to see that you’re taking your grad pics and you’re so happy to move on to the next stage of your life, but we get it. We’ll be that way too. There’s just so many good times and memories that we want to keep reliving with you and that time is over. There won’t be any more late night runs to parkers or late night jam sessions riding down a dirt road that we’ve been down probably over 100 times. There won’t be anymore weeks that we are so tired because we’ve tried to balance school, work, social life, and everything else in the world.

Now it’s time to grow up, and while that might scare some of you, we know you can do it.

Through being our best friends and role models you have shown us what it means to learn from your mistakes and role with the punches. We have learned so much through you and we can never thank you enough.

I think we can all agree that leaving high school is one thing, but leaving college is a whole different story. These are the people that have shaped you and molded you. They mean more than anyone ever has because they’ve seen you at all times: at your absolute worst and absolute best. These are the people that have truly changed your life. They’ve grown with you. When you think of these people you think of who will be at your wedding and who will still get lunch with you when you’re 35 and have kids.

It’s crazy, isn’t it? How time flies by so fast. And because of that, we have to soak in every moment. I know you’ve heard that a lot, but it’s so true. I know that it feels like only yesterday that you were walking onto Georgia Southern for the first time and wondering how in the world the next four years of your life would play out. And I guess, now you know. It’s crazy and so beautiful.

So, as this year comes to a close, I know that I can speak for a ton of people when I say that we will miss you. So extremely much. But it’s your time now, to show the world what you have to offer it and show us the kind of people that we know you always have been. We love you and can’t wait to see you kill 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.

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.
