Senior year thoughts: the journey is almost over

I came to college expecting nothing and I am leaving with so much

447

I am right in the middle of my senior year of and I feel so excited I am excited to close this chapter of my life I am just happy to see what the future brings. Life may not be perfect but I'm happy and it's my senior and that is what matters. I am so thankful to God for the life He's given and I am can't thank God enough for life and for just the everyday small blessings.I went into my senior year of college with the intention to be happy and have the best senior year. I am so thankful to have a do over from my disastrous senior year and graduation. I don't want to sound repetitive or seem like I am stuck on a moment but I am so thankful to have my senior year of college and be able to have the do over I feel like I need. I've always wanted to have the senior year of my dreams. My senior year of high school was almost perfect up to the end of the year. However towards the end things began to derail and I lost the chance to have my dream summer and to close my senior year and the chapter of high school in my life. But I am so thankful for second chances college has been the second chance I needed. Everything I wasn't able to do in high school I got to do in college. In the big picture of my life I want to look back and know my last year of college was memorable and that I was able to close the book fully. I always regret not being to close my high school chapter on my terms I didn't get to do it my way. For me being able to control my own story is of very high importance. I always want to finish things on my terms. It may not always be possible but I will always try my best do things my way. To have closure in my way. I want to close the book on college my own way and have the full closure and have all the experiences I want. I never went into college expecting anything I didn't think of it as a do over for high school but as I am nearly complete with my journey in college I realize that college was a blessing for me and it was meant to be a do over for me and the opportunity for me to be my best self and live my best life. Everything that happened, was for a reason my whole journey in college has been for a reason. As cliche as it sounds I can speak that my life and journey in college is a testament to the cliche quote that "everything happens for a reason". My whole journey in college has been like a whirlwind but in a good way. I went in expecting nothing and I feel I am leaving STAC with so much.

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.
