Thoughts of a Second Semester Senior

With spring semester rapidly approaching, every senior is feeling mixed emotions. They are excited to get back to school and make the most out of their last four months before they have to enter the real world. They are also feeling a mixture of sadness and pure freak out about having to become a full-fledged adult. Here are 16 things a second semester senior thinks. 

1. Winter break has been long enough. I’m bored and ready to go back to school.  

2. But wait, this is the last winter break I’ll ever have. I’m never going to be able to sit on my couch in my pajamas for four weeks straight again. They don’t do that in the real world right?

3. They definitely frown upon it. So I should live it up now-- and by live it up I mean watch every movie on demand I’ve ever wanted to see while my parents still pay for my cable. 

4. Thank goodness it’s time to get back to school. If one more family member asks me about my love life or future plans I may hit them.  

5. Syllabus week- more like syllabus semester. I’m never going to class.  

6. Teachers who make attendance mandatory should be put in a room full of Legos with the lights shut off. 

7. I’m going to go out all the time. Even Mondays aren’t safe from my drunken debauchery.  

8. Okay, never going out on a Monday again. Hangovers are rough when you’re this old.  

9. Does this mean I can’t go out during the week when I have a full-time job? How hungover is too hungover for the work place?  

10. Hangovers are the perfect time to have that special someone to cuddle with to make you feel better. Maybe I’ll text my old hookup buddy.  

11. Wow, okay. I can’t believe I just did that. I forgot how much of a terrible person he was. I can’t wait to graduate and meet real men with real jobs whose idea of a date isn’t taking me to Pizza Kingdom at 2 a.m. and whose house doesn't smell like fraternity parties and lost dignity. 

12. Does that mean I want to graduate?  

13. Am I even ready to be a real person yet? Are the people hiring me even real people? 

14. I bet they are. I bet they have their lives together and live in cute apartments in the city with great love lives. They go out to the hottest clubs every weekend and do brunch on Sundays.  

15. I go to Chipotle on Sundays when I’m hungover. That’s like brunch right?

16. I just threw up in a bush on my way to class. Definitely not ready to graduate yet.

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.
