How School Has Truly Made My Life Better

Yeah, homework may not be the best, but I would take an education over boredom any day.

Before I came to college I wanted to seem cool and act like I was so above high school and really any school in general. But all of that was a lie so here is how school brought and continues to bring me the best release from the chaos of my life, my favorite hobbies, and my future career.

No matter what type of stresses I was facing, whether it was worrying about a dumb boy, or stressing over how to handle things with friends, I always knew where I could distract myself. It was always calming to have an assignment or task that was organized so perfectly that it made my whole life feel as though it was in order too.

One of my favorite subjects all throughout school has been math. I love the patterns and uniformity of it. It is so simple in principle but it also challenges you because there is so much variety.

Math was always been my favorite distraction and still is even in college.

Not only did school offer a great distraction, but it also gave me some of my favorite hobbies. The numerous clubs I was in with friends were always fun and the car rides to and from always added an extra plus.

But even more than that, in middle and high school I had the opportunity to play basketball and to this day that offered some of the most rewarding experiences I have had.

I also was in classes we had through a program that was directed at learning Biomedical sciences and forensics. All of these things have continued to offer many rewards even though I am not involved in any of them now.

I have never struggled in school, but I have never been the stand out genius either.

But, ever since I was in preschool, school has been my happy place. I love and have always loved everything about it. In fact, at my preschool graduation when we were all asked what we wanted to be when we grew up most girls said “a princess” or “singer”, I just said, “I want to be a teacher”.

I loved school so much that I wanted to spend the rest of my life in one. And actually still today as a Junior in college, I am studying Elementary Education.

And even now I will tell you with 100% certainty that when I grow up, I want to be a teacher.

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.
