30 Times You'll Say WTF In College

College is one big WTF.

Throughout my 18 years of living, I probably say/think "wtf" (spell it out people) way too many times to count. I probably came out of the womb thinking it. Once you leave your little bubble of a town you realize even more how many times you whisper this fun little comforting saying to yourself. College is one big WTF.

1. Trying to find a class. wtf

2. Walking into a class late and having every stranger's eyes staring into your scared freshman soul. wtf

3. Trying to find your friends in the dining hall. wtf

4. Wondering why your room smells like ass. wtf

5. Why are you taking out the garbage for the 14th time today? wtf

6. WHY DOES THE ROOM STILL SMELL? WTF

7. Trying to figure out how "Sakai" works. wtf

8. When every laundry machine is taken and you either have to stand there awkwardly and wait or drag your dirty clothes back to your room. wtf

9. Finally being done with laundry just to realize your clothes are all still damp.wtf

10. People who ask unnecessary questions.wtf

11. People who ask unnecessary questions during the last 2 minutes of class.wtf

12. People in general, what are you doing? wtf

13. When you spill your cereal/makeup/life necessities all over your dorm. wtf

14. When the showers have no hot water. wtf

15. Bipolar weather. Make up your mind. wtf

16. When people walk at the pace of Gary the snail. wtf

17. Saying "hi" to people and then realizing it is not the person you thought it was. wtf

18. People who don't say "hi" back. wtf

19. The dining hall food, c'mon. wtf

20. Realizing you had 12 things due and you only did 4 of them. wtf

21. Walking into a party and there are only 7 people there. wtf

22. Having to drink more at the party to avoid awkwardness. wtf

23. "Did I really do that last night?" wtf

24. Watching your snapchat story the next morning. wtf

25. Seeing who you snapchatted after a night out. wtf

26. Looking at your bank account and crying. wtf

27. Trying to work on a group-project and somehow you do every single part of the project. wtf

28. When you are attempting to take notes and your professor skips to the next slide on the powerpoint. wtf

29. When your stomach is louder than the professor talking. Hungry student over here! wtf

30. When your food takes longer than expected to be delivered. hangry, wtf

WTF is our go to saying. Whether it's about something so small, or the biggest issue you've ever had to deal with, we can always whisper those three little words to ourselves whenever our hearts desire.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
