Two Quarters Into Freshman Year
  1. You are so excited to go to college you don’t realize how fast it starts

2. Not knowing anyone the first few days is uncomfortable

3. A few weeks in you realize how hectic it is and how hard everything is to balance

4. The people in your classes are on a new level of stupid



5. The word running through your mind the whole time: anxiety

6. After the quarter ends, good riddance to your old classmates

7. It’s Friday after a long week and you’re not feeling the weekend vibes

8. When your friends ask what you’re doing instead:

9. You’re friends know you are being ridiculous

10. If you don’t listen to their pleas they begin to threaten you

11. At the pregame, you know you have made the right decision

12. The next morning you wake up and immediately text your squad

13. Your decisions make you cringe and you try to blame the alcohol when it's just your stupidity

14. Saturday night rolls around and you decide to go out again despite last night

15. Now it’s time for you to convince your friends

16. Finals are coming and you don’t even know what is happening anymore

17. You haven’t left the library in three days and you are starting to go insane

16. The quarter is coming to a close and it is time for grades to be released

17. The year is coming to a close and you realize how grown-up you have to act

18. After finals are over and the year has come to a close, you know that the next three years are going to be the best of your life

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.

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.
