To High School Graduates

Dear High School Graduates,

CONGRATS! You made it through the four long years of high school. Your days of dreading the early morning walk or ride to school are officially OVER (for now, maybe). I definitely know most of your senior year was built on senioritis and all the joys it brings of counting down the days until you were able to walk across the stage in your cap and gown, receiving your diploma. But though you may be so quick to leave these halls, think about everything that's about to change.

Here's to where you've made some friends that will stay by your side forever or just be a mere memory. Be sure to thank the teachers that have impacted your life for better and even for worse, they've built you to who you are today. Take the time to absorb everyone you've come across in these four years, because before you know it, it'll all be gone. Leave them with a memory of you that you're sure they'll never forget. The halls that you walk down everyday will just be steps toward where you're headed to after this whole experience. Appreciate it all.

Though school may have just come to a close, college is at your fingertips! Before you go, make sure to make every moment count. Hangout with friends and make unforgettable memories. It's sad to say, but things may change once school comes around. Spend as much time with your family as possible. They may be annoying at times, but when college brings the stressful situations, you'll be wishing for those moments.

Don't forget who you truly are. Don't let college change you for someone or something else, because you're the best YOU you can be! There are so many exciting adventures out there just waiting for you so go be apart of it! It has all just begun! Congrats again and I wish nothing but amazing things!

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.
