Thoughts Every College Student Has At The End of the Year
Steinar Engeland

My mind swirls with assignments that are due within this final week, when I will move, who will help me, how long it will take for my laundry to be put away.

I am moving out, yet have not even begun packing. Is it possible that my belongings duplicated without me knowing? I swear I did not come to school with this much stuff!

How much coffee can one safely drink? How much water do I have to drink to counterbalance the dehydration from all that coffee? Which type of coffee drink has the most caffeine? Should I be drinking a triple shot at 10 p.m.? Eh, probably will anyway.

Will I have enough time in the day to get everything I need to done? How many hours do I actually need to sleep tonight? My teacher must think I am superhuman to give me 100 test questions to memorize. Why is this study guide 10 pages?! Summer cannot come soon enough … it also cannot come late enough. One of my classes doesn’t have a final exam? Praise! This professor is getting a glowing course evaluation from me.

When should I move out? All I want is a nap. Can I nap and study at the same time? Is that a thing? Maybe I’ll check Facebook … whoops! How did that hour just go by? Okay, focus. Oh my word, I have so many assignments to do. Maybe I can just freeze time for a couple hours, then it will all work out.

I should really eat something … I am pretty sure I forgot breakfast. And lunch. Dinner would be good. Making food would be better than going out … but that is going to take a lot of energy and time. When was the last time I showered? Putting on some deodorant and pulling my hair back counts as a shower, right? No? Okay, you’re right, I’ll take a shower.

How do college students have personal lives? When do these people find time to go out and take pictures and do things? I barely have time to go to class, eat, work and do homework. Also, who is capable of fitting every athletic event in their schedule? I am proud if I make it to more than one in a semester!

I am going to spend all my time with the people I won’t see all summer. We are gonna grab coffee and catch up. We will do all that we can to live the college lives we promised ourselves. We will try to bask in all the sunlight we can before we have to separate.

This year has been fun. I have learned so much from not only my professors but my peers as well. Good friends have stuck by me through the good times and the bad. The school year is almost over. It will be gone before we know it and summer will commence. It went by so quickly! I will miss the community surrounding me, but I am ready to go back home and rest.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
