Things WT Seniors Wished as a Freshman to Accomplish Before Graduation

There are always things we wish would accomplish, but usually never do - like a New Year's Resolution or a bucket list.

In less than two months, hundreds of seniors will walk the stage and graduate from WT, myself included. So, after thinking about this (and maybe slightly fearing it) I thought of a couple things I remember as a freshman hoping I would accomplish by the time I was a senior. Most of these I have definitely not accomplished, but hey, maybe some of the other seniors have! So here goes:

  1. To take the stairs to the top of the CC without sounding like the big bad wolf about to huff and puff the little piggy's house down.
    1. It's a thing. I personally feel like I might die of an asthma attack afterwards, but I am out of shape, so hopefully other seniors have fared better here.
  2. To figure out what they are going to do with their life.
    1. Yeah, life decisions are a big deal, especially a life decision about what you will do for the rest of your life. It's hard. I still don't know.
  3. To get rid of the freshman 15.
    1. Ha. Ha! HA! Definitely did not happen for me, but that's okay!
  4. To go into the Buffalo Fountain platform without getting in trouble.
    1. I have heard stories of people doing this. I personally don't think I would make the jump without actually falling in and like breaking my ankle. But good luck to all the rest of you guys!
  5. To use all of their meal plan at least once
    1. One time I only had two left. I felt like the most accomplished person ever. But now I am lucky it its below 60.
  6. To graduate with a 4.0
    1. Sometimes you pick a major that you actually 100% not meant for and you get a B. That's okay. But also lots of classes are really hard. Like Organic Chemistry, if you make it out with a B, props to you, you are my hero.
  7. To have a plan after graduation
    1. Career Services has lots of great options and opportunites to help you figure what you want to do. They rock, use them!
  8. To make it through four years without pulling an all-nighter
    1. Procrastination is a thing, which sometimes results in needing the whole night before to prepare yourself. It happens to the best of us and the worst of us.
  9. To find a partner, best friend, soulmate, etc.
    1. At this age, everyone is asking you if you are seeing anyone or if you've met anyone, or, like in my case, everyone from your close family to your distant relatives to people from your church trying to play match-maker.
  10. Oh and to figure out what they are going to do with their life
    1. This one deserves to be mentioned twice because, well, life is hard and scary.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
