Three Quotes To Help for The First Day Of Classes
Haikudeck.com

Classes have resumed for the fall semester and I have no idea where the time has gone. I'm halfway through my college education and I still do not know what I'm doing most of the time. How do I college?

This year, instead of having my midnight "I don't know my schedule" freak out, I looked for some quotes, wrote them in a small moleskin notebook and will carry it with me. I am not a planner by any means but I aim to change that. For the first time ever, I will be prepared accordingly for the first day challenges that life will inevitably throw my way. Since syllabus week does not exist at my university (it lasts for the first half of the class and then lead into the first lecture), preparation is necessary.

If you are feeling a bit anxious about the first few days going back to school, here are some quotes to keep in mind that might frame some positive self-talk:

1) "Say hello."

Some of you may do this already. I want to do this and I aim to do this year. I am an introvert by nature and the nerves I face sitting in a classroom in a new environment often prevent me from introducing myself and being more social. However, a smile or a simple hello can go a long way.

2) "If you're your authentic self, you have no competition."

On the first day, there are introductions.They usually consist of "name, hometown, major, and interesting fact about yourself." I remember subconsciously measuring my introduction against everyone else's, which was probably not something I should have done. There is no other you out there but you. There is no one else who will make the same introduction as you or write the same as you.

3) "Accomplishment will prove to be a journey, not a destination."

Life is never easy (as if no one has ever heard that before). If a class proves to be more challenging than you previously anticipated but is something you might genuinely enjoy, think on it before making a rash decision. Missteps and mistakes happen. Go into things with an open frame of mind. The knowledge and experience gained from the journey along the way to accomplishing whatever goal it is you have for yourself will long outlast the letter grade.

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.

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.
