Why I'm Scared To Graduate
pinimg.com

It's finals week. It's my last finals week of my last full semester as an undergraduate. To say I'm scared is understatement. I'm completely and utterly terrified for the big-girl world. I've been in college for almost six years now, so I should be ready to graduate, right? No. I'm not.


I'm scared of who I'm going to become

I don't wan to be that bitter graduate who still looks back at college and wishes they were still there because they peaked in college. I'm scared of everything the future holds for me.


I'm scared I'm going to go back to my old ways

I've learned so much independence and have learned so much about myself and what I want. I'm scared that without the support of all my friends I've made in college constantly around me, I'm going to slip back into who I was before I came to this school


I'm scared I'm not gooing to follow my dreams

I know what career I want but I'm scared I'm going to find some OK job that isn't what I want to do right after I graduate beccause it was the only option for me. I'm scared I'm going to get sucked into staying in the same place for the rest of my life and feel trapped.


I'm scared I'm going to fail

I'm scared that I'm not as ready as I think I am for my dream job. Let's say I do get my dream job right away. I'm scared that I'll mess up and fail in my career.


I'm scared I'm going to change as a person

I know life is all about people changing, but I love who I am today. I'm scared it is only because of the friends I'm surrounded by here. They're the ones who help me be a better person every single day and without them, I'm scared I'm going to lose myself, and my confidence.


I'm scared I won't be happy

Before I came to this school I was in a very, very dark place. I'm a lot happier here than in my hometown. I'm scared I'm going to end up hating my life again.

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.
