Why College is Amazing

I actually like it a lot more than I thought I would.

A little prelude to why I thought I would hate college:

Growing up and to this day, I struggle with anxiety so leaving for college and leaving my comfort zone was a very scary concept. I never wanted to go to sleep-away camp and I struggled having sleepovers. I would get very uncomfortable and simply wanted to go home and be with my family (including my dogs). Luckily, University of Miami was my dream school; I think I would have struggled at any other school. As soon as I got my dorm room set up, I couldn't wait for my parents to leave and start my new college life. A switch flipped once I got here; obviously I have had moments of feeling home sick but I find that very natural. Anyway, ON WITH THE ARTICLE ABOUT WHY COLLEGE IS AWESOME!

1. No rules!!

Go to bed when you want! Come home when you want! Should you make your bed? WHO CARES IT'S ALL YOU BABY

2. So. Many. Friends.

Especially as a freshman, everyone wants friends. Pretty much everyone is super friendly and walking around campus I say hi to everyone because why not right? I love friends.

3. Uber Eats/Postmates/ whatever whenever you want

I have had sushi every night for the past week. Not even mad. I could have chipotle too.

4. There are like so many dogs on campus <3

Every time I walk to class I probably see at least one dog and honestly its just amazing.

5. I actually know how to manage my time now

This one took a second to get a grasp on. Because theres so much freedom you have to learn how to manage your time! I like to use lists idk. This is probably one of the best skills I've gained since I've got here, besides photoshop.

5. Infinite Summer

We live in Miami, I mean, come on. Every day is gorgeous.

Thats it. Moral of the story is: I LOVE COLLEGE!

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.
