Why I Decided To Go Single

The whole summer going into freshman year of college everyone had always said to go into college single, well I was one of those girls who didn't listen. I went into my freshman year with a boyfriend that lasted until the summer going into sophomore year. Then came the dreaded sophomore year. You're not the new excited freshman but you're also not an upperclassman yet. This was the year everyone got into their solid friend groups and made their lifetime friends. I, however, was in yet another relationship. Sophomore year really opened my eyes to how withdrawn I was from the friend's aspect of college since I was too busy with my relationships. I needed to learn balance. Well, the balance came pretty easy when Christmas break ended and I was headed back to campus single. Trying to join a friendly group that was already established was harder than I could have thought, but thanks to a few cool people I was able to finish my year with friends.

Now I'm headed into my junior year. Past the sophomore blues but not yet a senior and ready to embrace me. It's a hard thing to do, ending relationships, but like everyone has always said, college friends are the ones who will be your lifetime friends. I had let guys been my main source of friends for the past two years of college, not going to parties, missing out on school events, and I wasn't going to let that happen this year. It was time for me to be free and experience college how I had always imagined it to be. Sure it was hard to end thins, but knowing I had my friends who had my back was a reassuring thought. This year was dedicated to friends, girlfriends. Not boyfriends.

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.

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.
