College is such a great time in your life.

It’s full of freedom, spontaneous adeventures, and doing basically whatever we feel like doing. When in college your groups of friends always include different people. You have the partiers, the nerds, the jocks, the mom friendsand the one special friend in the group the “Not the Mom Friend.”

If you’re not lucky enough to be that friend here’s what it’s like being that friend:

1. You have to text your friends your symptoms to make sure you’re not dying every time you have the slightest cough.

2. You don’t stop your friends from skipping class.

3. Your roommates usually telling you to make sure you're wearing a coat.

4. Uber is your go-to ride anywhere.

5. You’ve heard “What are you wearing?” more times than you can count.

6. 2 a.m. is a reasonable bedtime for you.

7. Any class before 11 a.m. is out of the question for you.

8. You consider Ramen noodles or mac-n-cheese bites a meal.

9. Napping is not just a luxury, it’s scheduled into your day.

10. You’re the mom friend's biggest nightmare.

11. You don’t think twice about skipping class.

12. Spending $20 at the grocery store is unreasonable to you but, $20 at McDonalds is always okay.

13. You forget about getting important things like gas for your car.

14. Tardiness is justifiable with Starbucks

15. Your laundry has been dirty for three weeks.

16. Or has been clean but sitting in a basket for two weeks.

17. You hear “don’t touch that” at least fifteen times a day.

18. The word “No” brings literal tears to your eyes.

19. Being responsible is hard for you.

20. When you actually HAVE to be the “Mom friend” you respect them a lot more because you realize dealing with 12 of you is the definition of hell.

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.

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.
