We definitely complain, but there's nowhere else we'd rather spend our freshman year.

10 Things Callaway House Residents Know Too Well
Caity Callan

As freshman year flies by, it’s hard to believe we only have about two months left living in the Callaway House. While we complain about the food, the noise, and the rules, it’s really the last time we’ll ever live in such a tight knit community where we have the opportunity to meet someone new every time we’re in the lobby. With that being said, here are 10 things that the residents of the #3 best dorm in America all know and (sort of) love:

1. The frustration you feel when you have gone to all of the odd floors just to find that every single study room is occupied.

2. When every single time you really need to print something, the printer is jammed.

3. Almost totaling your car every single time you make a turn in the parking garage.

4. Not being able to tell the difference between a frat house and a Callaway elevator on a Thursday night.

5. That awkward knock you do from inside the stairwell when you're trying to get someone to let you onto the 16th or 17th floor.

6. When it’s almost March and people STILL try to walk past the security guard with guests after 10 pm and act clueless when they’re told they need to sign them in.

7. Getting consistently hungry at 8:15 every night just to get disappointed when you realize the dining hall is closed.

8. The excitement that comes with getting that ‘you’ve received a package’ text.

9. When the best part of the dining hall is the mints.

10. Knowing you live at the best place in west campus.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
