To the Senior Who Graduated Too Soon

You were one of my first real friends at school, and before college, I had no idea all that I was missing out on.

To the Senior Who Graduated Too Soon
Cat McMillan

You might feel like you did not graduate soon enough, meanwhile, I am here wishing I could have another two and a half years of school with you.

I did not know I needed somebody like you to take me under their wing as a freshman until I met you. You were one of my first real friends at school, and before college, I had no idea all that I was missing out on.

You could not have cared less that I was a naive eighteen-year-old first-year college student, and you never once put me down for being younger than you or saw me any differently. In fact, more often than not I forget that we actually aren't twin sisters, let alone the same age. I easily could have been just another freshman who joined your sorority house who you vaguely recognized on campus but instead you reached out to me and made me feel so welcome in that first bit of school. You introduced me to so many people and expanded my seemingly small world at the time in so many ways. You taught me so much over the last year and a half and have opened me up to so many different things. From introducing me to One Direction with Wongo to showing me the magical wonders of Christmas Morning from Dutch Bros., I have learned so much from you, both big and small. I did not realize there was another person out there who had all the same interests as me from the song Christmas Canon to criminal justice, to politics to our neverending love for our boy Niall. I can always count on you to belt Blink-182 with me, eat ungodly amounts of food in one sitting together and to be there whenever I fall, both literally and figuratively. Thank you for letting me rant to you about boys, for reminding me of all of my most embarrassing moments (there are a lot) showing me the best views in Pullman and for bringing out the best in me.

Thank you for the deep late night conversations where we learned we are so much more similar than we ever could have imagined and for the times where we act like we are ten years old and can't help but laugh uncontrollably for hours on end.

You told me once last year that I was exactly who you were as a freshman, and if I am anything like you in the next few years, I will be very grateful because you really are one in a million.

I am only a couple of weeks into the new semester, but things really are not the same without you here in Pullman, so you better visit lots and count on many Molly Moons dates when I am back on the Westside.

While I wish you were still in Pullman, I know that wherever life leads you, you will have nothing but success come your way.

Thank you for being my soul sister Han, not sure what I would have done without you this last year.

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.
