As college students, we all go through quite a few things that make life drastically more difficult and nauseating than it needs to be. There's no doubt that college can be stressful, and dealing with the outside social norms of the community as well as the basic chemistry and physics of the human body's consumption is just a painstaking ordeal.

Here are 21 things that would make going to college much easier.

  1. Napping anywhere at anytime wasn't so frowned upon.
  2. Taking an alcohol tasting class for credit was actually a thing.
  3. Establishments would accept grants for payment on your booze or food.
  4. Being hungover was an acceptable excuse to delay having to take a test or turn in a paper.
  5. Sweatpants were seen as elegant and classy.
  6. You could hit someone legally, as long as you had a valid reason... and they deserved it.
  7. You could get into grad school based on your final semester GPA instead of your cumulative. (Freshman year struggles.)
  8. Any workout you even contemplated going through, actually reflected in your physique, health, and metabolism.
  9. Doughnuts, french fries, and ice cream were actually healthy foods, so long as you consumed them during finals season.
  10. Watching Netflix and Hulu was considered homework and studying material.
  11. Financial aid actually gave you enough money to support yourself without having to work two jobs, intern full time, and take 18 credits in order to graduate on time.
  12. Writing in a funny meme at the bottom of a test could count as guaranteeing you get at least 50% of the points on your exam score.
  13. Showing up to class looking homeless wasn’t so frowned upon.
  14. You could run over kids that aren't paying attention in the crosswalks on campus streets without being prosecuted for it.
  15. You could skip class if the weather was so bad it actually stung your face while you walked to class.
  16. Throwing snowballs at passing people was seen as a fun invitation to play, rather than an assaulting provocation to an altercation.
  17. Alcohol actually made you fit and trim — no matter how much you drank.
  18. You could skip out on paying the rent a max of like three times per year, similar to the number of skips you get for classes a semester.
  19. Every day, all around campus, for 12:00 – 12:50 classes, there was a potluck for anyone who didn’t have time in their busy class schedules to get food to eat.
  20. Campus sporting events had a student discount on alcohol sales.
  21. Napping in class was seen as beneficial to your learning — at least you’re getting some sleep after the all-nighter you pulled finishing that project or paper.

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.
