To The Girl Who Chooses Grades Over Partying

Don't listen to them, do you.

To The Girl Who Chooses Grades Over Partying
The Huffington Post UK

People may judge you for choosing to start that paper early on a Friday night instead of going out , but don’t listen to them, do you.

Your parents did not pay a huge amount of money for your education, just to go out every weekend, skip class, and not care about your grades. That’s just nonsense, not everyone gets to have an education, so the fact that you value your education, study hard, and apply yourself is not something to be ashamed of.

Now I am not saying stay in your room and study all day long. No, enjoy the college life, embrace it. Enjoy the young life and everything it has to offer. However, make sure that assignment is done before going out. Prioritize.

Never second guess yourself because you are the responsible college student that you are. In the end, it will all pay off. Everyone is proud of you because you are the focused, smart individual that you are and not the basic college girl that everyone hooks up with.

If boys overlook you because you’re focused and have goals to achieve, then that is their loss. You are trying to get somewhere and do something with your life; you don’t have time for them to hold you back. Do you. I know you may feel intimidated by the girl who gets all the athletes, but does she know the difference between, there, their, and they’re; what do her grades look like; does she have goals. Don’t get mixed in what other people do. Do you.

So, continue to study hard for that test, continue to worry about achieving that high GPA, continue to achieve your goals and set the bar high. Let them sleep while you grind. Let them grind while you work. The difference will show.

You good, you poppin’.

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.

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.
