10 Thought Every College Student Has While Doing Laundry

You're probably wondering what might have inspired this article and its obviously because there was a pile of laundry 5 feet up the side of my wall and it was finally the day i had to do laundry.

If you aren't new to this whole college thing then you know just the feeling of watching laundry pile up so high you know it just might never get done. But with a little hard work and dedication you know it will be over in a painfully long amount of time.

Laundry is definitely not our friend but someone's gotta do it, and that someone just so happens to be us.. but you can't argue you have so many questionable thoughts in the process.

1. "I definitely forgot to put soap in there."

if you've never done this before you are lying.

2. *Calls mom*

Um mom, can I put that blue shirt in the same wash with this white shirt?

3. "I would literally pay someone to do this for me."

If you don't have a breaking point somewhere in the process you are doing it wrong.

4. "Wow I've been looking for this."

sometimes that laundry basket turns into a black hole and you find clothes you've been missing for weeks.

5. "Yup that smells."

Pro Tip: if you like to leave your laundry to pile up for weeks throw some dryer sheets in your basket every now and then.

6. "I wish my mom could just do this for me..."

Long live the sweet days of living at home and having your mom take care of the laundry.

7. "I don't know how to fold."

When the clothes come out of the dryer things either go 2 ways.. 1. Clothes get kind of folded or 2. Throw that stuff in the drawers as is. Option 2 is usually how things go.

8. *Forgets stuff in machine for 3 hours.*

It happens to the best of us.

9. "Welp this definitely wasn't pink when I started."

Clothes that were once white are now a whole range of different pastels.

10. *Loses pairs of socks like it's your day job."

That laundry room eats socks I'm convinced.

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.
