My Thoughts On The First Day of School As A College Student

There will always be the first day, that one instance where every thing is fresh. The innocence of minds with no sense of direction, the path that commences after an end. A new cycle, a foreign pattern to conquer, straight into the oblivion that is unknown.

From the moment we were born, we have a start. As we continuously grow throughout the unknown we decipher things a part. We tear the things we mark, a crayon's soul, the creator's gifted hold, the age where no fear exists, and the little are bold.

We enter doors of learning, social concepts become a yearning, fundamental ideas take hold, through these ages lives are turning. The molds of what we know begin at this institution. The variations throughout our nation make it an "institution". But when we leave these walls and can never go back, another conclusion leads to a new first, middle schooling.

Who would've thought these days brought awkward education. I'm not talking about state examinations, but focusing on the growing pains and relations. Where becoming your own starts to create questions, like does she like me or am I just guessing?

These guesses add on from building to building, higher learning becomes your final 4 years in the system. Your wisdom is growing yet still stubborn to certain ways. You make your way through this last maze and the first day you were dazed. But when you're out and feel like you have wings, once you fly, you fly together with others who've obtained wings.

They say that birds flock together in order to survive. But what do you do when you end up at a place together to when you know how to fly? The first day of college is the first step in getting higher, the first day that inspires, and the last day that is still dire.

But through these stages there's always a first, and from beggining to end, the journey is unrehearesd.

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.

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.
