Two weeks after many of my amazing friends graduated college, I can't help but already be nostalgic. I will miss them more than words can probably ever describe. These friends molded me, changed me and made be a better person today than when I first started college. It's crazy to realize that I am transitioning from mentee to mentor, as my mentors go into the adult world and begin this next chapter of their lives. I will miss them dearly, but will treasure the memories we made together during the college chapter of our lives.

While we parted ways in the college experience, I feel blessed to know that some of these friends are my best friends and we will play huge roles in each others lives in the years to come. They left me with great knowledge that I get to pass on in my last year of college, which is amazing but scary. I know next year when it's my turn to leave and head into the real world, there will be people that feel like I do now. While it may be sad at first, like all goodbyes, it's not a definite goodbye. This is a 'see you later.'

I am so excited to see these graduates thrive at their respective new jobs or graduate schools. I know each of them has reminded me what it means to serve your purpose in life, and I cannot wait to see how the Lord moves in each and every one of them. They are leaving me, but they are on to do incredible things and leave their mark on the world. I cannot even imagine how they must be feeling, because while I am both happy and sad, they must be excited and fearful for the unknown.

I hope they know they should not be afraid because they have so many supporters who know they are going to take over adult world. While there will be challenges and good days and bad days, this is only normal. You are going to shake things up in the best way and everything you've done these past four years has prepared you for most of what's to come. The things you aren't prepared for, you will learn how to handle along the way. I am so proud of you!

Good luck graduates!

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.
