13 People You Meet At QU

QU is has a pretty diverse student body. However, there are plastics, jocks and mathletes just like every other school. When you walk into the cafe around feeding time, everyone is in their respective locations. You sometimes need a map to navigate where to sit and who to sit with. It's important to notice who's sitting in the front near the TV and who is sitting upstairs near the window.

1. The Student-Athlete

Most likely eating or on a field, court, rink or track somewhere and sometimes in the classroom.

2. The Health Science Student

They will probably try to convince you their major is way harder than every other major offered at this school.

3. The Feminist

4. The Fitness Freak

Most likely found crushing leg day in the Fitness Center and posting a progress pic on Instagram. What do they even carry in their gym bags besides a protein shaker and water bottle?

5. The Overachiever

Look in their planner and they have dedicated time to SPB, Intramurals, SGA and Greek Life. Do they sleep? Probably, but they can run on four hours and still get all their homework done before roommate Taco Tuesday.

6. The Liberal Arts Major

Found just beyond the woods and in CAS they are most likely analyzing the works of Virginia Woolf and Leo Tolstoy.

7. The OL

Most likely talking to "all their freshmen" about not using the cafe trays or wearing a lanyard around their necks.

8. The Qpac Girl

She'll cheer on the Bobcats at every sporting event, but send her into New Haven, and she'll exclaim her love for the Bulldogs.

9. The Misogynist

It's the 21st century, dude. Let the women live.

10. The Srat Star

She's the president and ruler of all. Her closet consists solely of J.Crew and nude heels.

11. The Frat Bro

He's probably updating his Snapchat with a cool new location to induce some serious FOMO. He's most likely wearing a button down or a $45 t-shirt.

12. The Helicopter Owner

It doesn't matter if the baseball team is good as long as the field is a regulation helipad. Did I hear Winter Break will be spent in the south of France?

13. The Abroad-er

They'll constantly compare QU to some magical European country. Hamden, Connecticut will never compare. Most of their Instagram captions scream, "wanderlust."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
