I can't even express how fast this year went.

8 Thoughts I Have As My First Year In College Comes To An End
Lauren Smith

With only two weeks left of college, I can't believe I am almost done with my freshman year. It seems like just yesterday I was moving into my dorm about to start a whole new journey.

Here are some of the thoughts rushing through my head as freshman year comes to a close:

1. "How is it the end of freshman year already?!"

Like seriously. That went by way to fast.

2. "I am getting so old."

I'm almost 19, living in my own apartment next year, and have to really start thinking of a career path. OMG.

3. "Wait... I'm not living in a dorm next year."

As I just made my schedule for next semester, I have to keep reminding myself I am not going to be living in East dorms anymore. So, I really can't base my schedule off of how close East is to certain places.

4. "I have so much to do these next two weeks."

Finals, end of the year assignments, quizzes, homework, formals, OH MY.

5. "I need to find two formal dresses."

Formal seems like so much fun and I can't wait to go, but even this is stressful.

6. "I have three finals so I need to start studying NOW!"

No joke. If I don't start studying now, I really don't know when I will have time to.

7. "In two weeks, IT'S SUMMER!!!"

This is the only thought getting me through these last two stressful weeks— a four-month vacation from school.

8. "I am going to miss my friends so much."

I don't want to leave my friends. I love you guys so much. Don't know how I am going to go this long without seeing you.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
