10 Reasons I'm Thankful I Go To The University Of Scranton

When choosing a college, most of us have many different options. I remember visiting a variety of campuses, trying to picture myself walking around and going to classes at each one. I didn't feel at home at any college until I visited Scranton. I could see myself here and I knew it was the place for me. I'm still glad that I made the decision to come here, and I could not imagine being anywhere else. Here are a few reasons why I am thankful that I go to the University of Scranton.

1. The campus is beautiful.

Especially when the weather is nice and the sun is shining, the campus can not compare to anywhere else. Even when it's a rainy, dreary day, the campus still looks great.

2. The people are always friendly.

Everyone is kind, holds the door open and says hi.

3. The food is great.

Coming to college, I was preparing for the worst food, but I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered how great the food is on campus. There are many options to choose from between third floor, first floor, Einstein and Bleecker Street.

4. The professors are kind and helpful.

The professors are always willing to meet with you to help you better understand the material. They want to see you do your best and succeed.

5. I have made great friends.

I'm thankful that I came here because I couldn't imagine my life without the friends I have made here.

6. It is safe.

I rarely worry about leaving my things in the library or dining hall or walking alone on campus.

7. There is always something going on.

There are always places to go or things to see either on or off campus.

8. I don't have to walk very far to get Starbucks or Dunkin'.

Let's be real: these are staples in almost all of our lives.

9. The wide variety of majors to pick from.

Most of our programs are renowned for being the best in the area.

10. I'm thankful for memories that I have made while I've been here.

They are ones that I will never forget.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
