5 Things I'll Miss About College
Leah Mikonowicz

My freshman year of college is coming to an end and as I reflect on this past year, I realized there are somethings that I am going to miss. I am so excited to be home for the summer and see my family, friends, and dogs, but college was fun and I'm going to miss it. So, here are 5 things I will miss about college at Gustavus.

1. My Friends

I met some pretty great people here and I'm going to miss living in the same building as them.

2. The Campus

Gustavus has such a beautiful campus, and I am really going to miss the pretty walks to class.

3. The Freedom

Being able to do anything I wanted anytime I wanted was great. I had my own rules and didn't even have to follow them.

4. My Job

Having a work-study job like mine was amazing. I did the work I was supposed to do, but there never was really a lot that had to be done so I got to do my homework or even watch Netflix. You can't find a job as good as my work-study job in the real world.

5. The Food

Gustavus is known for the cafeteria food being really good. Having a variety of food available at any time is really great, and you don't even have to cook the food or clean the dishes. I will definitely miss the not having to cook things myself part.

I am so glad I chose Gustavus, and my freshman year flew by. I am so excited to be home for summer, but I can't wait for another great year at Gustavus in the fall!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
