The Thank You My Small University Deserves

There aren't enough words to express my gratitude towards you.

The Thank You My Small University Deserves
Dartmouth

To my small university:

Thank you.

Thank you for giving me the connections I would never have made if I went to a big school. I am more than just a number in every class I am in. I get to make genuine connections with my professor, whether it is in my major or some Gen. Ed. class I have to take. Without these connections, I would not have had the internships I've been at or the events I got to experience.

Thank you for giving me a great group of friends. Without these people, this whole college thing would be a lot harder. These are people who understand the daily struggle because they are going through it right alongside me, no matter what their major may be.

Thank you for giving me the chance to explore a new city. You have given me the opportunity to see every corner and inch of one of the world's biggest and best cities. All I have to do is jump on a bus and then I'm in this amazing place where I find something new every time I go there.

And finally, thank you for teaching this small town girl there is way more in this life than what that small town had to offer. You are making me reach higher than the stars for a life I used to imagine about. Now, you are helping me turn those dreams into a reality.

From the small town girl that's now out in this huge world, there will never be enough words to express the gratitude I have for you. If I never came to you, my life would not be the way it is, and I am not sure I would want it any other way.

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:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
