Thoughts Of A College Student On Summer Break: As Told By Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl

As the summer drags on, college students are working hard to save money, reminiscing on past memories, and antsy to get back to their friends. The summer seems to be going slower and slower each day as we patiently await the end of August. Don't get me wrong, summer is filled with fun times and warm weather, but it's nothing like being back in your element with your best friends. Move-In Weekend where you at...

1. Realizing that your summer job has taken over your social life.

2. Seeing people around, that you tried to avoid in high school.

3. When you try to save money for next year but it just doesn't work out because shopping.

5. Thinking constantly about what your college friends could be doing right now, and dropping whatever you're doing to call or FaceTime them.

6. Being at a lame party at home and realizing how much worse they are than college ones...

7. When your parents ask you on the daily, "Where are you going?" and "When will you be back?" but forget that you know how to handle yourself.

8. When people ask you how college is.

9. Realizing you've got a solid three friends at home that you actually like.

10. When you know you have two more months to go through before you're back.

Summer is a blessing and a curse to all college students...no school work, but that also means less friends, more work, and of course.. rules.

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.

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.
