18 Rights Of Passage For A Providence College Student

Providence College is a unique place with unique traditions that unite the student body. Here are the 18 rights of passage for the Providence College student.

1. Turning 21 and ordering your first beer in McPhail’s.

No more milkshakes for you.

2. Having so much work that you stay in the library until closing.

They have to make it extra creepy by flickering the lights as a warning.

3. First walk of shame home from Eaton St. after a night of questionable choices.

Hold your head high and your high heels in your hand.

4. When you give up reading for Civ and just start Sparknoting everything.

5. When one of the ladies who swipes your card in Ray remembers your name without looking at your ID first.

AKA when bae notices you.

6. Getting yelled at by the lady in the post office for having the nerve to forget what the combination to your PO box is.

7. Getting your first picture with Friar Dom.

The creepiest mascot in the Northeast...and perhaps the world.

8. Waiting helplessly for the RIPTA that’s 25 minutes late because you don’t have a car.

It’s cheaper than Über.

9. Experiencing the bedlam that is Civ Scream.

“Is that streaker wearing the horse mask in my seminar?"

10. Spending a semester sprinting between your 8:30 and 9:30 classes because one is in Smith and one is in Harkins.

11. Suffering crippling disappointment when the Ruane Café won’t take your Starbucks gift card… because they’re not a real Starbucks…

12. Getting denied from your first club.

"Birthday? June 12, 1996...I MEAN 1992!"

13. Realizing Friar Bucks aren’t endless when you run out of them four weeks into the semester.

14. Your first walk from the mall to Chipotle.

Trudging up the giant hill to Thayer St., you wonder if it’s even worth it (of course it is).

15. Your first golf party.

Is it smart for an intoxicated sophomore dressed in pastel to be wielding a putter in a dense crowd?

16. Having to evacuate your building at 3:00 a.m. because some genius pulled the fire alarm.

17. Your first course registration.

Don’t be surprised when CyberFriar crashes, PC Secure fails, and your next semester falls to pieces around you. Hope you have a lot of backup classes.

18. Graduation.

Somehow you made it through eight semesters, and now you have the paper to prove 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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
