UNCG is an amazing campus filled with a diverse student population, but most students do experience many of the same things while attending this university. Here are the top 10!

1. You've left an apple for Minerva.

Legend has it, taking a bite out of an apple and leaving it at Minerva's feet will bring good luck for any exam.

2. You've braved the caf on Fried Chicken Wednesday.

3. You've never walked under the clock tower.

Unless you've already graduated, or you don't plan on graduating any time soon....

4. You've swung on Minerva's swings.

5. You've pulled an all nighter at Club Jackson.

6. You've tried a Black and Tan from Tate St Coffee

Anyone who goes to UNCG knows what's up. Tate Street Coffee House is BOMB and their black and tan is their most classic drink!

7. Guy Sanders is your homeboy 

UNCG HRL

Guy Sanders has without a doubt been in your email 60000000 times since even before you even picked out the dorm you wanted. He is the OG HRL guy with all the deets on campus living.

8. You've ridden a Limebike, Limescooter, or Bird.

9. You or someone you know has jumped in, put bubbles in, or sigh... canoed in the fountain.

10. You've eaten at YumYums.

Yum Yum's Better Ice Cream is a Greensboro Landmark, and it is right in the center of the UNCG campus. You're not a true Spartan if you've never been to Yum Yum's!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
