The Summer After Freshman Year Of College: As Told By New Girl

Starting college was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. But, if you are anything like me and feel like your freshman year was actually just three minutes, or you're a fan of New Girl (which you should be), I 10/10 recommended reading.

1. Realizing that your first year of college is actually over: You are getting old and it is scary.

2. But not really caring BECAUSE IT'S FINALLY SUMMER: No homework = hibernating for the next three months in hopes of getting tan.

3. Accidentally running into people from high school is your worst nightmare: Avoid going out in public at all costs.

4. People ask what your plans are for the summer: Not much to be honest, probably a lot of sleeping, eating, and Netflix, and more eating. No I don't have an internship, and probably will not have a job either (just kidding yes you should get a job).

5. Example A: Summer plans include errands and a smoothie.

6. You can finally eat a meal without using your school ID: You realized that mom's dinners were actually so much better than dorm food.

7. After a year of living without parents, any question about your plans for the night are too much: Can I just go to chipotle without being interrogated?

8. If anyone tries to ask how your first year of college was: I don't know, I had a few over-nighters, 3-7 mental breakdowns, don't remember any weekend, and might have made it to the gym once. But, I am alive, so who is complaining?

9. Overall, you are just happy that you did it: Being done with the first of college a great feeling, and it is time to celebrate.

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.
