11 Too Real Thoughts Of A Second Semester Senior

As a second semester senior, I have A LOT on my mind. So much to do, so little time, and so much to figure out.

1. I need to find a job.

What kind of job do I even want? Is my resume even up to date? How does one even find a job?

2. Please don't ask me about my life plans...

I promise, I would tell you if I had any idea but right now I don't and you asking will not speed up that process.

3. I need money.

My bank account is dying of starvation.

4. Where am I going to live?

My lease ends in May...what happens after that?

5. Oh, shit... it's March.

Where did all my time go? How did it go by so fast? I swear yesterday was New Years. Suddenly that midterm that was months away...no longer months away.

6. I want to change my major.

Suddenly the major I picked all those years ago is less appealing. Especially since I have to do a senior project.

7. How bad would it be if I just dropped out

I mean, do I really need this degree?....just kidding, it'd be really bad. But hey, D's get degrees right? (again, kidding)

8. Can I just skip today and stay in bed?

Senioritis is real and it is kicking my ass

9. Go out? Why would I want to do that when I can just stay in and watch Netflix?

Going out also involves so much, like spending money or putting pants on and that is not happening.

10. Do I really feel like cooking tonight?

How many times can I eat fast food this week?

11. Real life is becoming real too soon.

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.
