What My Last Year Of College Taught Me

I will never be alone.

To my family and friends as I enter my last semester of college:

Thank you for your unconditional love and support. I would not have made it through the past 4 years without that from all of you. You have been the best support system for me, even through my changes of major/dreams. I will forever be grateful to you.

How did it come so fast? Only 15 short weeks stand between me and graduation. I will walk across that stage and receive my diploma. Moving back to school for the semester is frightening. I am both scared and excited. In 15 weeks, I will be entering the real world.

Saying goodbye to my family and friends from home for the last time is tough. Even though I have a car and can come home whenever I want, it’s still hard. Realizing that this is the last few months of being at college hit me really quickly.

I am looking forward to my courses, to graduation, and to whatever comes next. I’m scared of the “whatever comes next” but it can be anything I want it to be. I can make my life whatever I want it to be, the only problem is, I’m not sure exactly what I want. I want to do so many things that I am unsure of where my heart will take me after graduation.

While I am scared, I know that my support system will follow me into the real world. I know that no matter what I end up doing, I know that I will be able to lean on you whenever I need to. Thank you for giving me that in life. While I am scared, I am also excited for my future, because I know I will never be alone in what I do.

Thank you. I love you.

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.
