1. Excitement

YAY YAY YAY YAY I get to see all of my friends again. I can't wait to see all of my buddies. I can't wait to do things with them. I miss them so much.

2. Refusal

Wait. This was a mistake. I don't want to be back. Can I get a pause button for life? I can't. I need another break.

3. Confidence

Okay. I can do this. We're in the last stretch of the race. I've made it this far. I can't die now.

4. Concern

Trying to get through classes and homework without crying is not as easy as it sounds. I don't think I can do this. This is painful.

5. Anxiety

Three papers, two exams, and twelve homework assignments??? Sure, keep the work coming. It's fine. I'm not drowning in school work or anything.

6. Nostalgia

Summer where are you?? I miss the days where I could just lay in the sand, bask in the sun, and not worry about what the tenth derivative of a natural logarithm is.

7. Contemplation

So if I drop out of school now... how many years would I have to survive on my own before I marry rich? That's the new plan: marry rich. I'll be fine. Right?

8. Acceptance

Life is good. I'm almost done with the semester. The hard part is almost over. Just a few more weeks and I'll have three months to relax and not have the weight of a full time student on my shoulders.

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?

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.
