Why I Kinda Sorta Miss High School

Y'know I never thought I'd say this, but looking back, I miss high school. And I don't mean that in the "Oh PLEASE take me back" kind of way, god please don't take me back. But in all honesty, when I compare my college life to now, there are definitely certain aspects of high school that I do miss.

1. Easy classes

I was never the 4.0 student, but I definitely did not work half as hard as I do in college. I mean, when there's a test I could easily get away with studying the night before, but now I find myself studying as far as two weeks in advance. There's also the fact that I work five times as hard in college for about half my GPA in high school.

2. Football

Going to Marquette doesn't really help my football cravings.

3. Comfortability

Being in high school, you were always protected by this bubble because you knew everyone and everyone had their place. Whereas in college, you're pushed to go outside your bubble, which is totally okay, but sometimes I definitely miss knowing where I am.

4. Being close to family and friends.

Well, you obviously (and hopefully) have friends in college, but there's something about coming home to your family and being close to the friends in your community that warms the heart, especially coming back during the semester break.

5. Driving to school

I've gotten so lazy this semester I hate walking, especially in the Midwestern cold. I wish I could just drive right into my lecture hall and tune into the radio station with my professor's lecture on it.

6. Field trips

Sure there's study abroad, but when was the last time you got to miss a whole day of classes to do something semi-related to a class?

While you definitely don't want to ever go back to high school, you have to admit, there are some things about it that you gotta miss.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
