I am just saying what all the Johnson & Wales students are thinking...

1. "Oh Johnson & Wales, that's the cooking school right?"

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F01%2F24%2F635892022306711874-1834053317_giphy-1.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=887&h=321aa9e448eb7419a887120239e0b4ec0198388bd0f41c1eb121b8828300ac06&size=980x&c=3366820451 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F01%252F24%252F635892022306711874-1834053317_giphy-1.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D887%26h%3D321aa9e448eb7419a887120239e0b4ec0198388bd0f41c1eb121b8828300ac06%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3366820451%22%7D" expand=1]

You are so far from wrong, it is not even funny. JWU has so many other majors, including engineering, graphic design, and even a new physician assistant program. Please don't ask the follow up question either of "Oh so it is not just a culinary school"? You have to be kidding.


2. "I am sure even though you are a tourism major, you can still cook right?"

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F01%2F24%2F6358920249455414681281174982_giphy-2.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=326&h=b51c3d33829ac557c507a63c7967a0a306ae60678da4470fdaff31e5d0a5d673&size=980x&c=1853242015 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F01%252F24%252F6358920249455414681281174982_giphy-2.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D326%26h%3Db51c3d33829ac557c507a63c7967a0a306ae60678da4470fdaff31e5d0a5d673%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1853242015%22%7D" expand=1]

Negative! I literally just got a cook book for Christmas that is called "How to Boil Water". We still have our daily struggles of making mac and cheese perfect, and getting the right cereal to milk ratio.


3. "What do you mean you don't have a football team?"

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F01%2F24%2F635892026168102547-1513063874_200.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=177&h=eacacce0168e04ad4cbc33293ff68eed29eeb3eb62f492ae4558eaa50d3fa561&size=980x&c=2454665636 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F01%252F24%252F635892026168102547-1513063874_200.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D177%26h%3Deacacce0168e04ad4cbc33293ff68eed29eeb3eb62f492ae4558eaa50d3fa561%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2454665636%22%7D" expand=1]

Believe me, if we could, we would! That has been brought up to Athletics on SO many occasions. To be honest, I just think they do not want to face the fact that they would probably suck.


4. "What are trimesters?"

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F01%2F24%2F6358920290437015651992917461_200-1.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=437&h=30fddb8a16d031518f1afd5749ee318990532773faa8da9fdb32cdba70e8f92d&size=980x&c=877018154 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F01%252F24%252F6358920290437015651992917461_200-1.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D437%26h%3D30fddb8a16d031518f1afd5749ee318990532773faa8da9fdb32cdba70e8f92d%26size%3D980x%26c%3D877018154%22%7D" expand=1]

Going out on a limb here and assuming everyone knows that "tri" means three. We literally have three terms, just as it sounds. One trimester ends before Thanksgiving, another ends before spring break, and the last one ends before summer.


5. "You never have classes on Fridays? OMG I should have went there!"

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F01%2F24%2F635892031089795816-1011374853_giphy-4.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=459&h=67369e18634e6fe182804d390e08991b1c0f911345a3821124dd7c2ee06560be&size=980x&c=1351007346 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F01%252F24%252F635892031089795816-1011374853_giphy-4.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D459%26h%3D67369e18634e6fe182804d390e08991b1c0f911345a3821124dd7c2ee06560be%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1351007346%22%7D" expand=1]

Yes. Yes you should have. It is even better than it sounds.


6. "You can get your degree in that?"

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F01%2F24%2F63589203234486693565709815_200-3.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=176&h=2fb9783a36de90348739caf2b72d221ffb78c9a46a85259132f86d5c4c13bef6&size=980x&c=2279057484 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F01%252F24%252F63589203234486693565709815_200-3.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D176%26h%3D2fb9783a36de90348739caf2b72d221ffb78c9a46a85259132f86d5c4c13bef6%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2279057484%22%7D" expand=1]

I am a Travel and Tourism Major, and, yes, that is an actual major. One of the best ones out there, sorry you didn't think of it! I will literally travel the world, while getting paid for it. I love my major.


7. "The food at your school must be so good!"

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F01%2F24%2F635892034402030915-444451751_200-4.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=189&h=0e89ec924526224e0c28428b7e20df61e2ca41a5ccccc19df4894bfb2eede821&size=980x&c=988773313 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F01%252F24%252F635892034402030915-444451751_200-4.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D189%26h%3D0e89ec924526224e0c28428b7e20df61e2ca41a5ccccc19df4894bfb2eede821%26size%3D980x%26c%3D988773313%22%7D" expand=1]

I can assure you that our school's food is nothing more than a run down Applebee's at best. The school tries to get too fancy and serve us food like veal, yet cannot make a decent grilled cheese.


8. "Why is your winter break so short?"

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F01%2F24%2F635892036282243471881340569_200-5.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=214&h=4aab17222f322e38a1347b59ec11fbdaec52305137fa03740a819894a9f313c3&size=980x&c=4117930875 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F01%252F24%252F635892036282243471881340569_200-5.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D214%26h%3D4aab17222f322e38a1347b59ec11fbdaec52305137fa03740a819894a9f313c3%26size%3D980x%26c%3D4117930875%22%7D" expand=1]

Please see the response to question four. We are literally in the middle of a trimester when we break for the holidays. It sucks.


9. "So you are a culinary major?"

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F01%2F24%2F635892045297390870-1744313338_200-6.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=698&h=b659f829b2d761c49dbea1ebd5881ba4f9a61adee64b186141deb83d9fd9984e&size=980x&c=3259516619 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F01%252F24%252F635892045297390870-1744313338_200-6.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D698%26h%3Db659f829b2d761c49dbea1ebd5881ba4f9a61adee64b186141deb83d9fd9984e%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3259516619%22%7D" expand=1]

I had to put this one twice because it literally is the most frustrating question and the most frequent. I am not a culinary major.


10. "Wait so you took graduate level courses before you even got your Bachelors?"

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F01%2F24%2F6358920504199275611364092262_200-7.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=839&h=97d4ceb3224a918b9a0cd52060591ed537770de3cf32b1e054ecced5b749bdb6&size=980x&c=1736600440 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F01%252F24%252F6358920504199275611364092262_200-7.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D839%26h%3D97d4ceb3224a918b9a0cd52060591ed537770de3cf32b1e054ecced5b749bdb6%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1736600440%22%7D" expand=1]

Yes! It is the 4+1 program and it's for all the overachievers out there!


11. "Waking up for my 8 a.m. sucks so bad."

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F01%2F24%2F635892052655416464-440326785_200-8.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=642&h=d8c44a37e71a157288aca150d5d2da7d6c8dcc4fc4674e0ee2c903f5db4816af&size=980x&c=2363758158 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F01%252F24%252F635892052655416464-440326785_200-8.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D642%26h%3Dd8c44a37e71a157288aca150d5d2da7d6c8dcc4fc4674e0ee2c903f5db4816af%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2363758158%22%7D" expand=1]

Try waking up for a 7:10 in the middle of winter. That extra 50 minutes really makes a difference. You feel like a walking zombie for the rest of the day. Thank God there is no school on Fridays!


Can we stop explaining ourselves now?

Soccer, Spain and Racism

When we think of events that have transpired in the US over the last few years, a lot of it ends up in spotlighting the division in the country. However, things across the pond seem to be no better - at least when it comes to sports. Last week, Real Madrid - arguably the richest sports franchise in the world, had one of their Brazilian strikers subject to vicious racist attacks in Valencia. The player, Vini Jr posted this example video in his Insta account:
