Fraternities at the University of Texas are known for hosting Roundup. This event takes place every spring and it consists of fraternities bringing big performers to parties they throw over the weekend. All the proceeds are donated to different philanthropic causes. This year was just like any other, except that Bumble sponsored many of the Roundup events. As a result, many students downloaded the application. Bumble is different from other dating apps because girls have to make the first move.

I talked to female college students who reflected on their experience on the dating app. They downloaded Bumble because of Roundup, and used it for a few days.

PERSON A

"At first I was very skeptical because talking to a stranger seemed very superficial and I thought it was never going to work. I started several conversations, but I never expected anyone to reply. I was being very negative about it. Surprisingly, I did have some good conversations with some of the guys I connected with, but at the same time, it felt forced. It was hard to talk to people without really knowing if they were trustworthy or what they were expecting. It is an interesting experience and you could possibly find friends or a date, but it is difficult to get that in-depth conversation. When you do have that, then it means you have found the right one. I believe Bumble is something everyone should try at some point in their lives. In order to get the most out of the app, I would suggest being open-minded and confident because the app has the potential to bring diverse people together."

PERSON B

"I started using it for fun because I knew that no weird guys would text me since I had to make the first move. Sometimes I saw people I knew, and it was very funny. I connected with a really attractive guy, but I was too embarrassed to send him a message. After using it, I realized I would have liked it better if guys had the opportunity to send the first text. I think Bumble could improve if it added the option to connect exclusively with people from your school because in my case I was only interested in meeting people from UT."

PERSON C

"I was on Tinder a long time ago, and I didn't like it because the people I met were only looking for casual sex. I heard Bumble was different because it was used by individuals who were interested in dating, so I decided to give it a try. After downloading it for Roundup, I kept swiping for fun. Guys on this app were definitely more decent than the guys I saw on Tinder. However, I didn't get any good vibes from most of them, which is why I rarely swiped right. It felt very superficial because it seemed like it was just a game. I ended up deleting the app three days later."

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.
