The Overconfident College Student

I am the over confident college student.

Nothing can stop me in college. I've seen all the frat and college movies and done my homework. I can quote "Animal House" like it's my speech in Communications. And I've seen "The Social Network" so I know all I need to do to become successful is trick someone into making a great idea and giving it to me. If there was a contest to see who can procrastinate the longest and still barely pass the class I would probably win. I love college.

People always told me that it was going to be a rough transition into college and I should take it slow to transition in. I don't need to listen to them, I took 20 credits. They won't be that difficult, high school was easy, my parents did my homework for me all the time. I'm sure if I call up my mom she would be more than happy to do it.

While you're at home studying, I'm out having the time of my life. Yeah, it's true I haven't started studying for my test, but all nighters and a pack of Red Bull seem to work in the movies, and those are pretty accurate. Plus, college is all about procrastinating until the end anyway -- that's when I perform my best.

A lot of people keep stressing that they didn't get an A on their paper. That's funny. I got a 73 percent and I'm pretty happy. Cs get degrees, don't they?

I had no idea college would be have as much partying as it does. My college had me take an online survey about cautious drinking and how too much can seriously harm you. I'm young, what do I have to lose? I mean, so what if some nights I drink too much? That's all the fun of it. Plus, I'm pretty much invincible at this point. I'm pretty sure they just make up those statistics to scare students.

I also hear people constantly complaining about not having any money in college. They need to calm down. I once went three days without eating in college. Most intense three days of my life, but I lived and look at me now, I'm stronger than ever.

A lot of my friends are already nervous about what they are gonna be when they grow up. I already know what I'm gonna be: rich. I don't think there is any other correct choice besides rich. I have family friends that have connections so I'm already gonna be kind of hooked up, possibly -- it's pretty much a guarantee. It's all about who you know.

I was thinking about being a doctor. I've seen "House," and "Grey's Anatomy," and I took drama in high school. If being a doctor has as much drama as "Grey's Anatomy" then I'll already be prepared. I'm pretty smart, too, and I can already name parts of my body so I'm pretty much a doctor in training. Extra years of school doesn't sound so bad. I'll pass all my classes the same way I'm passing my undergraduate, giving it the old college try.

Some people might call me cocky; I like to think of myself as really confident. Usually being really confident is known as a bad thing but how else are you going to be successful at anything if you're not confident?

College is probably the best expereince of my life so far. I'm doing great in my classes, I have made so many friends and everything is going my way, nothing can go wrong.

Welcome to the life of the over confident college student.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
