Sophomore year is going to be one for the books...

Thoughts On Back To School

Moving back into college for sophomore year is filled with mixed emotions. Seeing all your friends back again to talk about all the summer shenanigans we experienced is one of the best feelings in the world. The immediate sense of home is overwhelming. No more ‘ice-breakers” to meet new people, no more walking alone to class and no more awkward introductions. You find who you are in college, and the people who can love and appreciate you are there for every step of the way. Sophomore year is full of new experiences. Living with you friends and having your own space with them is a brand new experience you probably didn’t get freshman year. Enjoy the time you have with them because these next 3 years fly by faster than wind.

Of course leaving your family and friends at home again is never easy, but coming home for Thanksgiving is just around the corner. You family will be flooding you with questions about friends, the “college life” and of course relationships. Quick word of advice, don’t be annoyed by their parade of questions, be grateful enough that they ask and care about your life home away from home.

College is something that we too often take for granted, so enjoy the time you have and make all the memories possible, but don’t forget about the life you live back home, because that is just as important.

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.
