21 Signs You're Not Ready to Graduate

It's that time of the year again. The sun is finally out, there are day parties every weekend, and finals are quickly approaching. However, this year is different. Why? Because you're a senior and these are your last few weeks of college. Instead of being excited about summer being right around the corner, you're having a quarter life crisis wondering what the ^#*@ you're going to do with your life. Some of your friends have amazing jobs lined up in New York City, some are going to grad school, and the really lucky ones are coming back for a victory lap. While you fall into zero of those categories your life looks somewhat like this:

1. You can't imagine a weekend consisting of only two days rather than three.

2. You wait to do your laundry until the next time you go home to your parents' house.

3. When people ask what you're going to school for, you say it's to get your MRS degree.

4. You don't know how to manage your own money and cannot imagine doing it with a steady paycheck.

5. Your apparel consists of leggings from Sunday-Wednesday and going-out clothes from Thursday-Saturday.

6. When you run out of groceries you're too lazy to go buy more so you eat out for a week straight... until you check your bank statement.

7. You've completely given up on your GPA because enjoying your last few weeks of school is way more important than getting good grades.

8. The pizza delivery guy knows your identity based upon your address.

9. You have no idea how to study for something without using the Internet.

10. Time spent in the library consists of 50 percent Facebook, 25 percent finding new music, 20 percent comparing your life to random articles (like this one) and 5 percent actually studying.

11. Monday is your day to recover from the weekend, Sunday is just a day to laze around with your roommates in your pajamas.

12. The only dates you ever go on are your date parties.

13. You have too much FOMO to stay at home on a weekday.

14. You can't make it until 5 p.m. without an afternoon nap.

15. "Decorating" your apartment consists of cheap movie posters and old booze bottles.

18. You can't imagine living with only one roommate instead of your eight best friends.

19. You still watch cartoons.

20. Your parents still give you a weekly allowance.

21. You have no job lined up and quite frankly you don't really care.

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.
