It's Not MY Job To Make Sure YOU Pass Your Classes

Sorry, I have my own grades to worry about.

I've always been the student that finishes assignments a little quicker than others. It's not that anyone is dumber than me, but it's just that our brains work differently. There's no problem with that. However, there is a problem when another student in a lab group complains that I'm getting too ahead in the lab report while everyone else is joking around.

It is not my job to slow down for everyone else because they don't want to pay attention to the assignment that we are currently doing. If I'm focused on the work and you need help, then I have no problem helping you, but I'm not going to sit and wait for you to finish having fun to finish my assignment.

WE ARE ADULTS. If you can't time-manage and utilize your peers to help you on their time instead of your own, then you need to grow up. It is truly not my job to dumb myself down for you.

Also, college is literally the worst place to get caught cheating, so NO, I will not let you copy my work. You think I'm going to ruin my future so that you can succeed in this class? Heck no.

I have no problem with helping another student in need, but at this age, I would never even consider letting anyone cheat/copy me. So what if that makes me a know-it-all or teacher's pet or anything of that nature?

I'm not against helping or sharing notes at all. I understand that sometimes a professor just doesn't explain something well enough for all the students. But at the end of the day, we both have the exact same resources, and I will never take pressure or responsibility for anyone's grades but my own.

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.
