12 Thoughts You Have On Move In Day As Student Leadership

Being a part of student leadership at college is fantastic, but you do get tasked with helping everyone move in. In case you were wondering what we're all thinking, here's a pretty good run through.

30 minutes before check in opens: Why on earth are there already 20 people in line?


5 minutes before check in opens: Maybe we can all hide and they'll go away...

"Does anyone know what happened to the blue tape?"


As soon as check in opens: Why didn't I go to the bathroom before this started?

"I recommend filling out your room inventory before you bring in boxes...oh never mind."


15 minutes after check in opens: Oh please let them be on the first floor...

"I'm sorry, which room number did you say again?"


40 minutes in: Is that a U-haul? Hide now!

"Yes, the laundry card machine only excepts $5.00 bills, no I'm sorry I don't have change."


1 hour in: What is in this box?! Cinder blocks?

"I recommend you don't hold the envelope upside down, it has your key in it.."


2 hours in: This is my 22nd trip up the stairs...why do they make moving boxes such awkward shapes?

"No, I'm sorry, you can't use command hooks on the walls."


2.5 hours in: So much stuff...

"Be sure to check out the welcome fair!"


3 hours in: Ooh yes, this is pillows and bedding, thank you, thank you, thank you!

"Is there anything else I can help you with?"


3.5 hours in: Hmm, I've only eaten doughnuts today...

"I need to put in a work order for room 213, the bed frames are stuck."


4 hours in: Can the last two people just show up so we can be done?

"No, I'm sorry, we don't have window screens, but you can buy magnetic ones at the hardware store."


5 hours in: 5...4...3...2...1... We're done!!

In the end, move in day is exhausting, but just the beginning of our excitement. Rest assured that we're truly pumped for the coming year with our residents and can't wait to get to know them better.

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.
