It's one of the biggest decisions you make when you move into your dorm: to loft the bed or to not loft the bed? If you decided to loft, you now realize how simpler life was when you weren't five feet off the ground. Hey, non-loftees, appreciate the floor while you can!

1. You don't know where you'd be without the rollbar

Thanks for not allowing me to body-slam my carpet in the middle of the night. You're a true friend.

2. Your phone is now shattered because everything falls 10x harder when you're up that high.

I should totally sue my screen protector's company for not doing their job.

3. Making the bed is an impossible task

How am I supposed to fold that corner when my body is on top of the rest of the sheet? Is there any logical way to do this?

4. Going up and down is a circus act

Finding your footing and turning your body the right way is such a process, especially when you're not used to a lofted bed. I'm 99% sure I'm going to fall and break an ankle over here, guys.

5. Having to pee as soon as you get comfortable

I spent so much energy getting up here and now I have to go back down? Ugh.

6. Realizing you left something turned on or laying on your desk when you're half-asleep

I can sleep with the lights on, TV on, and my phone unplugged... right?

7. Why is my bed so squeaky?!


Sorry roomie, I'm both trying and failing to not wake you up.

8. Getting up in the morning is torture.

Not only am I warm and comfy, but it takes so much energy to get down from the bed. Is that 8 a.m. lecture really worth it?

9. God forbid I have anything with me...

Unless you have a shelf, there's nowhere to put your laptop or schoolwork to where you're not going to kick it off your bed and destroy it. How am I going to take my mid-Netflix naps?

10. Needing an extra-long phone charger

Unless your college allows extension cords in the dorms, more than likely you're going to be shelling out major cash for a 6-foot cord. Or your charger falls in the middle of the night and you wake u1p with a dead battery

11. Waking up in the middle of the night in a puddle of sweat.

Heat rises, so good luck trying to catch any bit of restful sleep!

12. Surprisingly, you have less room.

Yes, you and your roomie were so excited to loft your beds for that extra 2.5 feet of ground space. But sadly, you're so limited in your bed! From bumping into walls, ceilings, and just being in a twin bed in general, is it even worth it?

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.

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.
