31 Thoughts Heard In A College Student's Head On The Daily
Erika Glover

I like to think of college as the ultimate test of sanity, but also the greatest trampoline launchpad to success. At this point in my life, I am living with my best friends surrounded by a few thousand other students who also call this campus their home. That being said, I see new faces every 10 seconds, meet new people every hour, and learn so many new things every day.

As I make my way across campus, these are some one-liners that I, a college student, find myself thinking about every day.

1. "Uhm, 8 o'clock already?"

2. "I wonder what it's like to not climb a ladder in and out of bed?

3. "Welp. Hat and bun day it is."

4. "Who could possibly be making that much noise at this hour?! Oh my GOODNESS."

5. "Starbucks is the move. Extra shot of espresso? make it two."

6. "Wait, I only have how many dollars left on my meal plan? I guess I'm going to starve all of April."

7. "Aw, her laptop stickers are cute. We should be friends."

8. "Really glad I bought that textbook for it to collect dust on my shelf. Cool."

9. "OK, but HOW is that guy wearing shorts?! It literally feels like -2°F right now.

10. "I think my tears are frozen."

11. "I should have taken the shuttle."

12. "Mashed potatoes and chicken chunks at the dining hall? TIME TO FEAST!"

13. "Maybe I'm overshooting how cold it is outside. One coat should do."

14. "Nope. Needed that coat."

15. "Hit me with your car and pay for my college."

16. "Maybe I'll go to the gym tonight."

17. "Eh. Bachelor is on. Can't miss that."

18. "Oh yes, sorry, I'm going to be sick that day."

19. "I should've gone to school in the Carolinas."

20. "Why do I feel so busy but also feel like I have so much time?"

21. "Starbucks? Again? OK, cool."

22. "One. More. Class."

23. "I'm going to punch my advisor for telling me to take a 6 o'clock class."

24. "Study abroad is SO expensive. I'm just trying to travel the world."

25. "To order Panera or to not order Panera?"

26. "OK, but why is the room above me hosting a Zumba class or something?"

27. "Oh my gosh, I've already been here for six months."

28. "Oh my gosh, I've only been here for six months."

29. "LOOK, MA! I think I got the hang of it! I'm doing the college thing!"

30. "I miss my mom."

31. "No, seriously. How do you college?"

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.
