13 Reasons You're On The Struggle Bus

We're all aware of the ups and downs college can throw at us. One week you might feel like you work at the library because of how long you've stayed there due to test studying and other weeks you worry that you and your couch are one being because you haven't stopped watching Netflix for 10 hours straight. The struggle is real and even though our parents may not understand the fullness of our struggles, your fellow bus mates certainly do. All aboard!

1. You have an 8 a.m. and it's April. Enough said.

2. You somehow can't manage to go a single day without tripping in public.

3. You're wearing a white shirt so naturally you spill something on yourself.

4. You've missed a certain class for the past three weeks all because of different excuses.

5. Your debit card is literally about to break in half... Aka you're broke.

6. All-nighters are the only way you're going to pass your classes.

7. You have that one class where you literally need a 59.9 so you don't have to retake it.

8. You haven't washed clothes in weeks and you're totally okay with it.

9. You've been sleeping on the couch because your bed has too much stuff on it.

10. You thought you had a Scantron in your backpack and you sit down to take the test and what do you know... No Scantron.

11. You drop your phone for the hundredth time but it cracks on the day that you really need it.

12. You forgot you had leftovers in the fridge and now your room smells.

13. Your life seems to be falling apart but you're making it work somehow.

The worst part about being on the struggle bus is that instead of one little thing going wrong, it's a bunch of little things that go wrong all at the same time. Funny how that happens, isn't it?

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.
