Well, it's finally here. I blinked and somehow I became a senior in college, just one semester away from graduation. While there are more than a few things running through my mind, I think the cast of "Friends" can say it better.

1. The first stage is always denial.

It's fine! Really, I'm not graduating, I'm fine.

2. Acting like the thought of graduating doesn't phase you at all.

It's still all good! I'm totally ready to graduate and move on with my life.

3. But then you realize you don't actually have a plan for after you graduate.

You always know what you're doing next year in college. Now, next year is unknown and you have no clue what you'll be doing next year. Will you have a real job or be stuck working at McDonald's? You don't have a plan.

4. Pretty soon you're going to have to go out and get a real job.

A job like in an office? Like what your parents and other real adults do? When did you get so old?

5. And you're actually terrified of how much your life is gonna change next semester.

Life is going to be different, way different. College is one of the best times of your life... post-grad life not so much.

6. Then the depression sinks in that you actually will not be coming back next semester.

There's really no avoiding it. You're going to be completely bummed out about it sometimes, and it's okay to be sad. Just remember not to let it ruin the remainder of your last semester.

7. You have to listen to your younger friends discuss plans for next year.

Wow you're getting a house next semester? You're excited about homecoming? Great. Very happy for you. I really love hearing about it.

8. Luckily you have your friends in post-grad life to help you adjust.

Thank God for these friends. It's going to be way easier not being the only one experiencing this. If they can do it, why can't you?

9. And while you'll miss college, you'll have learned some valuable life lessons.

After four years, you'll grow and mature and sometimes have to learn things the hard way but that's okay. Things don't always work out the way you hope they would.

10. Don't put boyfriends/girlfriends over your friends.

This cannot be stressed enough. Relationships, especially in college, will come and go but the friends you make will be the ones who will always be there for you in the end.

11. Some guys are really just not worth your time.

Sometimes guys are just bad news and only in your life to teach you a lesson. It's easier to accept it and move on without dwelling on the past.

12. You couldn't survive this last semester without your friends.

Though it's bittersweet, there is no time to waste being sad. Just live this last semester to the fullest.

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:

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.
