Slow Down And Enjoy Senior Year

Don't take high school for granted.

High school should be where you make the most memories and have the most fun. They say that about college as well, but college is much more serious. It is the step before the rest of your life. High school should be taken seriously, but have fun too. Don't worry about the petty drama and enjoy yourself.

I promise you will have more fun if you do what makes you happy rather than doing what makes your "clique" happy. Go to prom, go to every game, join all the clubs. Just do you and don't wish high school away.

Five reasons you shouldn't take high school for granted:

1. You see your friends every day.

The people you've grown up with all your life. Your day 1's. The ones who you have some of the oldest, but best memories with. You don't get that every day once you move away.

2. Football.

If you go to a small college there really nothing to look forward to on the weekends besides going home. Sure you can go back to a high school game, but it's not quite the same. Go to every game and cheer like it's the last game because sooner than later it's going to be.

3. No Homework

I'm sure there was homework, but compared to college you had none. For real.


4. Home Cooked Meals

When you came home from school or practice dinner was always in the making or already made for you. College, you either spend money or pray it's something good in the car.

5. You Can Relax

You actually had a lot of time to watch Netflix or go cruise town with your friends. Lets be real, prom is the most stressful thing about high school and the ACT. At college you're glad you made it through each day.

I realize that these are super simple things, but I promise once it's gone you won't know how much you miss it and took it for granted. We do not mean to, but that is just how some of us are. We wish things would speed up in life, when nothing is wrong with what we have right in front of us. You have four years with people you made a thousand memories with. I would love to go back to high school again with my girls and cheer in the student section one more time. But I cant. When it's over, it's over.

College is fun and you make new friends, but high school is something you will never get back. Ever. So enjoy those four years because they fly by

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.
