One Last Semester

It's my last one, but it's going to be good!

One Last Semester

My final semester of college is finally here but I can't really imagine this all ending. It still feels just as far away as it did my freshman year. Then I could only imagine how much more I had to learn. Now I know how little I truly know and I want to learn so much more. In some ways I feel college is ending too quickly, but I'm far too ready to start my own life to wish for a longer college career.

I've been through a lot over these past 4 years. I've grown significantly and the chaos of having been to 3 colleges definitely helped me. Maybe it would have been easier or even better if my college experience had been more stable, but the experiences I've gained are ones I wouldn't trade for anything. Maybe some of my myriad of mistakes are ones worthy of regret, but they were mistakes I learned from. Mistakes that if they had never been made, I wouldn't be the person I am now.

Enough of that though, my last semester is one I'm excited for even without the thrill of it being the last one. I have several exciting classes with small class sizes. I'm certain that this semester I'll meet a lot of new people and progress friendships with older friends. I even have a separate internship this semester. I have so much to do and I'm ready to really have to dig in my heels and work hard all semester. I want to finish out with satisfaction at the work I put in; it looks like this semester will be the most satisfying yet.

I hope the rest of you have a great semester as well, thanks for reading!

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:

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.
