The Struggle Of College...

The struggle in college, not knowing what you want to do for your entire life. Every college student is going through the phase of figuring out what they would like to do with the rest of their lives. But as a senior, I still don't have a clue. Coming into college at 18, as a young adult, who would know what they would like to do? If you had it figured out, well, go you.

The struggle in college, changing your major more than once. Most students will change their major once, if not more. That's great for the university, because that means more money for them.

The struggle in college, waking up for that early 8 a.m. class that you skip half of the time. Having an 8 a.m. honestly is the worst, but it's the only time the class is offered, and you need it that semester because it's a prerequisite for another class you need the following semester.

The struggle in college, being tired. Most professors love planning tests around the same time. Students dislike it. Or, most do, anyway. That means an all-nighter, and just about every college student has stayed up all night at least once in their college career.

The struggle in college, finding a job, The town where your university is located is probably small, but if not, then you have an advantage. Living in a small town and dealing with school, homework, and then finding a job that will fit with your schedule can be difficult.

The struggle in college, being poor. So unless you're wealthy, the average college student struggles with financial problems. Paying for all the bills and then adding on additional organizations adds up.

The struggle in college, not finding a good man or woman. Nobody really wants a "relationship" in college. Most students just want someone to be there for them when needed: a night out every once in a while, so they don't have to be tied down,

The struggle in college, never looking cute for class. So you're walking to class and you see a girl dressed up, and you're staring at her, just wondering why. Most girls now wear and XL t-shirt when they should be wearing a small, and over-sized sweatpants with a hat thrown on, because they haven't washed their hair in a week.

The struggle in college, realizing it's senior year and you still have no idea what you're doing after college. But, one day, it will hit you. God will speak, and you will listen, and He will lead you down the road of success.

God has the most amazing plan for you. Jeremiah 29:11.

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.

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.
