When college gives you a roommate.

When moving away for college, I was nervous about so many things such as not fitting in, leaving my best friend, getting lost going to my classes, what if my roommate was weird and so on. These might seem like silly things, but I'm sure that anyone that has moved away to go to college can vouch for me that these are common things to worry about. After arriving on campus, I met my three amazing roommates that I am now so thankful for. This is what happens when college gives you a roommate.

When college gives you a roommate, they also give you a built in best friend. You are spending the next year of your life together it's not surprising that they instantly become the people you want to tell things too. They are always there with advice and a shoulder to cry on no matter what the situation is.

When college gives you a roommate, they also give you someone to keep you in check. They aren't afraid to tell you when the guy you're talking to isn't good for you or that your shoes most definitely don't match your outfit and they just can't let you leave the room like that. It's refreshing to have people in your life that you know will always be brutally honest.

When college gives you roommates, they give you someone to always go on lunch and dinner dates with. The cafeteria can be a pretty scary place especially if you don't know anyone, however, having roommates that are always available to eat lunch and dinner at the same time you are makes eating in the cafeteria a little less scary.

Lastly, this being your freshman year of college obviously you're going to make lots of memories. Who better to make those memories with than the people you lived with for the entire year. Literally, anything can be an adventure from spontaneous road trips to getting up early on Saturday mornings to go get fresh donuts.

College blessed me with three amazing roommates who I couldn't be more thankful for. College can be pretty scary, but it's a little less scary if you have people to go through it with like I was fortunate enough to.

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.
