To My Last Semester In College

As I am sitting here watching the only season finale that matters of Scrubs, which was season 7 (when it should have ended). I am contemplating on life. JD was leaving Sacred Heart to go work for another hospital to be closer with his son and everyone was saying goodbye to him - and it made me think as I was in and out of a nap.

My last semester is this current semester and it hasn't hit me yet - I guess not like I think it should. Like when you leave high school and you get that moment of nostalgia and things get weirdly sad for a second until you realize high school was crap. But, it has not fully hit me yet and maybe it's because I am more worried about passing my class and trying to focus on what is going on in the now to think about it. Life is going pretty stinkin' fast, let me tell ya.

I remember entering college thinking I was insane starting at a State because I could have easily transferred, but I am glad I did it. I made it five years and it feels good. It is going to feel weird to not be in school, you know, the way you go to school daily or every other day and that is a routine. It's hard to break a routine after you have done it for five years. I won't know what to do with my time and what to do with all my free time that I will have until I find a job. College has given me some great times, and, also, some not so great ones. But, the great ones rule out the not so great ones; so, all and all it was worth it.

I guess what I am trying to say is good riddance to my college experience. Not in a bad way, in a way that is confident. Good riddance, but thank you at the same time. Thank you for showing me something I am great at like English and showing me something that makes me who I am. Thank you for showing me that I am not alone when it comes to my major, even if I feel like it sometimes.

College is totally worth it and I know that sounds cheesy and like I am totally trying to sell you on debt, but it's not a bad debt. People say that college sucks because they do not understand what it is for. It is for you to find yourself and most people hate it because they have not found themselves and never quite do.

I was eager. I found myself a year or so ago with my major and I have been ridiculously happy ever since. I know what I am doing is for me and even if I am not making loads of money, who cares? I am happy. And, that is all I could ever want. You will be in debt, but at the end of the day, it's worth it. You are getting educated. You are becoming an even more powerful you. What more could you want?

College is a wonderful experience and if you get a chance to do it, please do. My last semester does not mean I am gone forever I am a alumni there. But, since I won't ever go back (probably) it feels good to have a last semester to have a last say or hoorah as they say. Goodbye is not forever. And, you never quite leave college as much as you think. Even though I can't wait to be out, I will be back.

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!

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.
