On Realizing I'm Graduating In A Year

Now, I realize seniors will read the title and laugh because they are graduating way sooner than I am. And I am happy about that.

The thought of graduating college in a year is kind of terrifying to me. The real world is approaching and all I can think is "oh my gosh." No more school? What is life even like without school? I'm sure it's amazing but someone who has spent most of her life going to school, it's a really weird thought and something hard to get used to. No more time consuming assignments or midterms to study for...sounds great to me!

But what I will miss is knowing I will always see my friends everyday in class and around campus. We are all so busy with out school lives that it's a hit or miss for hanging outside of class. But, hopefully that means when we are out of college, we will have more time to actually spend time with each other.

Also, people keep asking me what I want to do after I graduate and the answer is I have no clue. I mean, I have two majors for a reason - I can't decide. I hope I am lucky enough to get a great job right out of college and start saving for the ~real world~. But we will see, the future is blurry for me right now so please stop asking because it honestly just makes me over think everything.

Coming into my second semester as a junior, I have realized I am a lot happier because I know I am graduating on time with two majors. That's a freaking feat if you ask me. But, at least I know I am passionate about both of my majors and will be happy with whatever field I end up in.

That is the one answer I do have.

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.
