From the loser in Highschool

What it's really like Coming Home During the sUMMER

Freshman year of college is over, it had its up and it had its down. If you are anything like me, you are tired of being broke all the time so you hop on getting as many jobs and hours possible for a human being bad in your small home town that you desperately avoided all year.

You get home and one thing that hits you harder than a boulder is checkin-check out back in place at home, you can't just leave at 11;30 at night or stay out till 6 am, your senior year of high school curfews and rules some have found a way back. I got extremely irritated because back home is a good 30 min from any kind of decent shopping and that is a big difference wen you can't just run places.

You miss your college friends specially the ones that live out of state, the ones that really got you are now hours and hours away. When you avoided being home all year its hard to start over again for 3 months, and make friends again. With comping back to your old high school town brings a good amount of high school drama, because you forgot that people actually care about nonsense, it gets on your nerves. Because when something is said in a small town everyone and their mom knows about it.

Dating is the most horrible thing when you in college but home for the summer, because you know this "fling" will end when your back to your 2-3 hour away school, and your "fling" back at school might be over when you get back, a lot changes in a couple months. Its just a turn off if you know that your leaving in a couple months.

You told yourself, "Ya I can work 60 hours a week" don't do that to your self, you need me time or you will cry when it gets to much, trust me slowly learning. Employers will not want to change it as fast as you would think, you need to take time and breathe and actually enjoy some of your summer, because if your from Nebraska, winter lasts forever.

You enjoy your family, but silently praying for classes to start again.

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.
