20 Struggles Students At UNCG Face

Classes aren't the only hard things we run into daily.

20 Struggles Students At UNCG Face
Matthew Garr

At the University of North Carolina at Greensboro I would like to say on behalf of the students that we go through a lot of struggles whether it be daily or weekly. Not everyone goes through these struggles, but if you go through at the least half of these you are a typical college student at UNCG. When most of these struggles hit us Spartans you can hear us moan and groan like Tina from Bob's Burgers or let out a little curse word here or there.

1. "Do I need a raincoat today?"

2. Surviving Spartan Chariot rides

3. Getting Chick-fil-a breakfast

4. Forgetting Yum Yum's only takes cash

5. Getting free things at sporting events

6. Actually getting fried chicken and mac'n cheese on Wednesdays

7. Taking a "quick" trip to Taco-Hut

8. Dodging the human like squirrels

9. Finding Parking

10. Voyaging out to the new gym

11. Finding power outlets

12. Playing Frogger on Spring Garden

13. Getting a chance to swing on The Swings

14. Going to Bojangles without a line

15. Riding your bike around campus and not hitting other people

16. Wanting to sit outside and getting good WiFi signal

17. Avoiding the urge for Starbucks

18. When the Sparkets run out of Oreo's

19. Waiting for the right Heat bus to arrive

20. Deciding between Sonic and Jimmy Johns at 2 A.M.

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.
