11 Reasons Why College Is Ew!

Hey, my name’s Marisa and welcome to Ew!: the article where I talk about all of the things about college that are ew!

Like, c'mon, you know that, sometimes, you just want to be like, "ew!" whenever your teacher gives you an assignment.

So, without further ado, here are all the ew things about college, as told by Jimmy Fallon.


1. All of the teachers are on the same four-week schedule, so, when week four rolls around, you can expect a lot of tests.

2. Sometimes, teachers will cancel classes without sending out emails.

It always sucks to get out of bed, go to class, and, when you get there, a note is on the door: Canceled.


3. You have no idea how to cook, but you better figure it out if you want to survive.

Or, you can be like me and get a bunch of frozen meals from Wal-Mart. Yum.


4. There are no such thing as “excuses” in college.

You just keep swimming or you will drown.


5. Sometimes, you will have to schedule 8 a.m. classes.

Need I say more?


6. You will always have a teacher who loves application questions.

“I don’t want you to memorize the information. I want you to know it and be able to apply it.”

I know that they’re just trying to teach us, or something, but that still doesn’t make it fun.

7. You have to suffer through classes that have absolutely nothing to do with your major.

Me: I want to be a therapist. College: That’s awesome. Now, go ahead and dissect this cow brain.


8. Your family never really understands how hard college actually is.

I’d like to see them do it!

Anatomy tests, anyone? Didn’t think so.

9. What is money exactly?



10. Dorms don't allow pets.

Yeah, Fluffy isn't gonna be able to come.


11. But... it may just be the best time of your life.


Of course, there are so many wonderful things about college, but that wouldn't be as much fun to talk about. College has its ups and downs, but, in the end, it's worth it.

So, that's it for this week's episode of Ew! See you next time.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
