To All Of My Stressed College Homies

Stressed, depressed, and not well dressed.

It's so easy to quickly become overwhelmed in college. A failed exam, a 1,000 word paper you haven't even started, and trying to get literally every single grade up just a tad more so finals won't ruin you, just seems to fall on you all at once. You think about 15 times a day, Why did I think college was a good idea? I literally have to convince myself every morning, at approximately 7:45, college is a good idea.

I wanted to let all you sweet, little broke college kids know that you are doing amazing, along with myself. Keep pushing even when you feel like it is impossible. It's very possible, and you can do it. Just look at every successful person out there with a degree. They will tell you it is worth it, and you are very much capable of it all.

I also want to tell you, it doesn't happen in a day. Your grade may drop from an 87 to a 79 in a day, but a degree isn't accomplished in a day. Day after day, semester after semester, it will arrive. You will put on a cap and gown, and walk out of that place with a diploma in your hand, and a big, goofy smile on your face, and say to yourself, you did it.

So push a little harder, and one day you will be there, you will be the person you always wanted to be. Don't beat yourself up too much right now, because you're amazing, and above all, a broke, stressed college student. *Drops the mic*

Side note: Just a quick thank you to the professors that literally are the best. Thank you for canceling that class so that I can finish a paper. Thank you for giving us a take home exam since we all screwed up the first one. And thank you for letting me have a love/hate relationship with you. Much Love.

One more thing, inhale, exhale. Now, have a good day.

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.
