I have been 19 for exactly a month now which is really not that long and I just moved out.

I have been moved out for almost a week now and it has been actually pretty nice. I moved into an apartment with 2 really good friends. I honestly didn't think I would be moving out of the house as a freshman in college but it all sort of just happened this way. Yes I know I could have stayed at home and saved more money but the people I have moved in with I have known for many years so this just kind of just seemed like the best option for me right now. Also I would have moved out at the end of the school year even if this did not happen right now.

Considering covid the move wasn't bad a all. They didn't have any restrictions on us which was nice. We did have to wear a mask when we went in the office and signed a couple last minute things but other then that everything was fine. You do get into the apartment from the outside so that is probably why there weren't any restrictions. I saw hardly anyone when I actually moved in since my roommates and I all basically moved in on separate days so that really helped.

What are my final thoughts on moving out? It has kind of been crazy. You have to pay for literally everything now which I'm really hoping I can continue to afford this. I think I will be okay though. I am always super busy with school and work so I definitely do not have a ton of free time. But I love willing with these amazing girls and this is going to be a great year in this apartment!

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.
