To All The College Students That Have Lost Hope At This Point In Your College Careers

I contemplate dropping out of school pretty much every day.

To All The College Students That Have Lost Hope At This Point In Your College Careers

So fun they said. Best years of your life they said. Lies. If you need some motivation to stay in school, here it is!

You're in too far at this point

You've done too much. You're in too deep. Remember, there's no refunds on college. You can't waste thousands upon thousands of dollars and not get a degree out of it.

You're almost done with CORE classes

For me at least, my college has a ridiculous core curriculum requirement. I've pretty much only taken five classes that pertain to my major and minor at this point and I'm halfway through my junior year. Ridiculous. I know I signed up for this and it'll make me a more well-rounded person and scholar, but it's freaking annoying at this point!

I keep telling myself that thankfully, this is almost over and I soon will be able to take all classes that I actually want to be taking. Thank god!

You are a strong powerful individual and you can handle anything

I keep telling myself that I've already made it through so many ridiculous professors and semesters, that at this point, if I've handled everything so far - of course I can get through this and finish college.

Stripping is a valid backup plan

We all joke about dropping out of school and becoming a stripper. While we all joke, it is actually a very valid backup plan. So at least we all have that, if all else fails. How's that for reassurance.

Everything happens for a reason

Yes there are times where I very aggressively question why I ever went to college in the first place. I am a very firm believer that everything happens for a reason and that even though life is a very intense roller coaster that I did not sign up to go on and am definitely too short to be on, it all works out for the best in the end.

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:

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.

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.
