11 Wishes Everyone Has Made at 11:11

Instead of pursuing more effective methods of achieving these goals, you expected a simple wish to help it come true.

Vanilla's Thought of The Day

If you have ever been told that any wish made at 11:11 would come true, you have definitely tried it out before. Even though scientifically, this superstition holds absolutely not weight, it never hurt to try making a wish on the coincidences that you do happen to notice the clock turning to 11:11. Here are 11 wishes you have definitely made at 11:11.

1. I hope I can get an A on the next exam

We’ve all been there. It’s 11 pm before an important exam and instead of studying, you carefully wait for 11:11. The moment your watch turns 11:11, you repeat your wish of acing the exam 11 times, and proceed to surf the internet and tagging your friends in memes instead of studying.

2. I wish I can get an A in the class

An inevitable extension from the first wish. The night before finals, at 11:11 pm, you wish for a generous curve in the class so that your 70% in the class could somehow magically translate into an A. After you make the wish at 11:11, you proceed to once again, surf the internet and tag your friends in memes about studying.

3. I hope I’ll make a sports team

No matter how good you were at a sport, the night before or the day that the roster of the team you wanted to get on came out, you would make this wish. Although 11:11 wishes are simply superstitions, it never hurt to make that wish, just in case it does have an impact on the decision making of the sports team.

4. I hope I’ll win the lottery

This is the same concept as wishing for a miracle. Since the possibility of winning the lottery is so slim, it’s practically impossible, so why not make this wish that probably won’t come true anyways? There’s no harm in at least trying. As a lottery winner, you could quit school, travel the world, buy a mansion and live comfortably for the rest of your life. And most importantly, pay back that mountain of tuition debt.

5. I hope school gets cancelled tomorrow

As wonderful as the process of gaining knowledge is, there are days when students just want a break. On those days, which could range from once a semester to every single day of the semester depending on the student, if class was actually cancelled, all the credit goes towards the wish made during the most recent 11:11. It definitely was not because the TA was sick or that the professor had a last minute meeting, no. It was definitely the wish.

6. I hope I meet [insert favorite celebrity here] in person

Every person has to have had a celebrity obsession phase. For middle school me, that celebrity was Taylor Lautner. In seventh grade, I would alternate my 11:11s between acing the next big test, doing well in a volleyball game, and meeting Taylor Lautner, because the three held equal significance to me.

7. I hope my meme will get over 1k likes on my school’s meme page

For any chronic procrastinator out there, meme pages are the best ways to pass time while doing absolutely nothing. While scrolling through various meme pages, one may become inspired by a certain meme and be motivated to create their own, hoping to gain internet popularity through their creative meme. Unfortunately, unless the meme is pure gold, it’s challenging to receive even 500 likes on a meme. Again, harmless to wish for.

8. I wish I can magically play piano/speak another language immediately

Studies have shown that the older one gets, the harder it is to learn a new language quickly. It is also hard to become very good at the piano. Sometimes, people make whimsical wishes to be able to suddenly acquire a skill that takes years of practice and hard work to obtain. Whether it’s dancing well, playing the piano, or speaking another language, the wish probably would not come true. Still, it was worth a shot.

9. I wish I can get this job

Employers probably aren’t mind readers, so this wish definitely will not impact whether you actually get this job or not. But desperate times call for desperate measures. You need all the luck you can get on this next interview to obtain that dream job.

10. I wish that sweater I really want would go on sale

As a college student, I’m constantly living on a budget. However, as a college student, I also constantly splurge on things I honestly do not need. There is no need for a soft gray sweater when I already own 3, but sometimes the brain just doesn’t listen. In times like these, it’s nice to splurge knowing you’re saving money at the same time.

11. I hope my crush will like me back

The classic. Whether it was the star athlete of your school’s football team or the person who sits next to you in calculus class, everyone’s wished that the dreams of their crush liking them back might someday come true. Of course, it would have been a much more likely occurrence if they had even known about your existence. Or if you had talked to them in the first place instead of admiring them from afar.

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.
