A Word Of Advice To Freshmen From The Senior Class
Facebook

It's that time of year again. Freshmen are moving into new dorms all over the country and saying goodbye to their parents as they start the first out of four years of college. For them it's a totally new experience, but for the seniors entering their last year it feels like a distant memory.

We all packed up our cars and said goodbye to our friends for the first time a few years ago. We started this new chapter of our lives that everyone said would be the "best years of our lives." We couldn't even imagine what would come in the next few years as college became more then just a place we go to class, for some it became a home.

So right now were seeing pictures all over social media of Freshmen dorms and them saying hello to their future, while were saying goodbye to the place we've spent so much time at. We remember the first room we ever moved into, our first college roommates and most of all we remember that we are in our final year. Those memories are some of the best we will ever make and the ones that stick with us as we move on to the final chapter at school.

If there's anything we have learned that is that time goes way too fast. As you get older it seems to fly by before your eyes. At the end of the day all you have left is the memories you've made and the pictures you've taken. Oh, and that degree too.

A word to freshmen from the upperclassmen getting ready to make this last year the best, appreciate everything. Your college years will go so fast so get involved in everything you can, have a little fun and remember that time is precious right now. Do everything you want to do, and don't do the things that don't interest you. You have the most freedom you have had yet so make the best of it.

To the seniors watching the Freshmen start their new chapter when we're closing this chapter of our lives, keep the memories with you. Never forget the best parts of college, but also remember there is so much more to look forward to in life. This is just the first chapter of many. Get ready for what true adulthood has to offer.

For now we still have time to enjoy the semesters ahead from Freshmen to seniors. Lets make the 2016-2017 the best school year yet!

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.
