Would You Do It All Over?
Shawnhesketh

If you find yourself as one of the millions students enrolled in college, you may have found yourself at the point the semester where the words "I'm done, I'm dropping out" tend be a regular phrase out of your mouth.

These typically aren't meant with any true meaning behind them but they seem to be the only way to perfectly sum up your feelings at the current time. But once you stop and think about it, you have to realize you've made it. You made it to the point where you're in college. That big, scary thing that was always a blurred picture in your mind while growing up is now a reality.

So that begs the question would you do it all over again? If you had the opportunity to be little one more time, to get a redo, would you? Would you change those awkward middle school years, or those drama filled high school ones? Would you change everything that's happened to you up until this point? The things that got you to where you are today?

For some the answer might be different but for me it seems to be a clear one. No. I wouldn't redo kindergarten so I passed the first time, or third grade so I would pass my timed multiplication quizzes with flying colors, or change any of the other obstacles I've managed to hurdle up until this point. I'd like to think that without those obstacles, and the execution of how to go about hurdling them I wouldn't be the person I am today.

So before you make your decision think about all that you've been through. Because when you all of a sudden you find yourself pinching yourself realizing you're doing this college thing, think about all those things that got you there.

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.

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.
