Senior year means only one more year of college, well, at least one more year for your undergrad.

It's scary, and it can be very nerve-wracking, it means, for most, the start of real life. No more socials, no more chapter (if you are in a sorority), no more late-night snack runs with friends, no more spring break or summer.

It's real-life now, and all the aspects of college that make it fun will be ending.

But this is also the start of your independence.

Whether or not you are moving on to get a master's or any other type of higher education after your four years, such as law school or medical school, this is the start of you becoming a full-fledged adult.

And while that might seem intimidating, once you are able to become financially stable and use the skills you worked your butt off for during your undergrad and/or master's, it's going to feel incredibly rewarding and satisfying.

To be able to finally afford a new car or that trip to Europe you have been wanting to take will just be a feeling that is indescribable.

Now, it's OK to feel sad about leaving the campus you have called home for the last three to four years.

But in these last couple of semesters, enjoy all the little things that your campus has to offer.

The really great study spots, all the friends you have made over the last few years, the late nights in the library. Enjoy being a college student for the little while you have left.

Take that spring break trip with your friends that you weren't sure about going on or go have that beach day with your roomies!

Here's to the last few semesters of your senior year, enjoy them because you can't get them back.

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.

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.
