I Graduate In The Spring & I'm Actually Nervous

So much in the future and have no idea where to start.

So here I am my last year of college, and slightly freaking out. Not freaking out over the price of textbooks or why I made my schedule is about 12 hours Tuesdays and Thursday.

NO, here I am freaking out about the end my Associates Degree Endgame.

All my mind is going to:

Where will I transfer too?

Is this major really worth it?

Where will this degree take me?

I may just be overthinking, but it really does scare me. I know I have all the control to this too. I get to pick and choose it just feels like its all coming too fast.

I have worked for this for almost 5 years and just for an associates degree. I feel like I should be farther than where I am now. But I am also not going to lie, I've messed up and that put me behind, but I didn't give up.

I refuse to give up though, I have done things and I am not proud of and at a few times through my college years, I have thought about giving up, more than once. It was a long back and forth battle just to finally come to the conclusion:

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU NEED TOO DO YOU WILL GRADUATE!

Someone, please tell me I am not alone?

Don't get me wrong, I have my burst of excitements like when I think about putting on the cap and gown for the first time, decorating my cap, and even planning my party, but I know I still have a bit of time before that happens.

I guess I'm just scared of what this big whole world has yet to offer and how it will affect me in the future. But that's the scaring thing not being able to see into the future even though you can plan it over and over, not everything will line up.

So yes the future and change are scary but we can do this.

Congratulations to all the Graduates that are terrified like me. We got this good luck.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
