First Day Of School Goals
LaneKids.org

It's the best and worst day of the year. The first day of school. Amongst all the many emotions that fill your tummy with butterflies on top of the nausea and anxious thoughts similar to being sentenced to prison, the average student ponders on certain goals that must be accomplished on day one. There's no doubt that you will do everything in your power to accomplish these goals, even if it means taking down the teacher's pet in the hallway or waking up an hour earlier than necessary.

It's all about first impressions, right? So, for this reason, the first day of class is the most important, other than the last day which leads you straight to freedom. But naturally, that's a given. The first day, on the other hand, brings up an importance that no one student can deny.

The first day is all about bright, shining faces, new clothes, new atmosphere and new, way too serious professors. It's so exciting yet so incredibly sad. Luckily, we students find ways of making our first days back as prisoners an opportunity to learn, experience new things and make new friends. Whether you're the type of student that lives for the first day back to school or the one who dreads it the most, day one is the most riveting.

On the first day of the school, the below goals must be met.

1. Your outfit must be a reflection of your best self.

Your favorite color top with the best fitting pair of pants, along with those boots that clearly make a statement.

2. Each item on the very intricate list of school supplies purchased prior to this exciting day must be in its rightful place.

I'm talking each pen and pencil lives in its own little pocket, your laptop in the very back, a binder for each subject, etc.

3. Snagging the best seat in the entire classroom.

Whether you are a front seater, the one who hides in the back, or the go-with-the-flow type that just grabs the one in the middle. It's all about placement, for sure.

4. Choosing the perfect fun fact about yourself in which you share with the rest of your peers.

I mean, you have to sound even cooler and more impressive than the girl sitting next to you.

5. Not getting lost or entering the wrong classroom.

We all know how embarrassing that is, so let's try to review the campus map before you end up in the wrong building two minutes before the class starts. If that does happen, at least wear good shoes.

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.
