5 Thoughts You Have While Doing Your Laundry In College

Laundry in the real world and laundry in the college world are both surprisingly not the same. "Laundry is laundry, how could it be so different?" you may ask; you just put the clothes in and play with some buttons. I am here to tell you that they are two different worlds.


1. "You'd think the line for the washing machine is a line to meet Beyoncé."

Why is it always that your whole building decides to do laundry at the same hour of the same day that you want to?


2. "Why the heck does the timer say zero on the dryer yet your clothes are still there..."

I have been waiting for 10 minutes now for you to get your clothes so now I'm going to politely put them on the table...


3. "Colors and darks are the same here."

Yes, I have also been guilty to throw some whites in with them too. Did anything ever happen to my clothes when I did that? No. Now that I said that via the Internet, will I ruin my clothes from putting darks and lights into the same load? Probably.


4. "Crap, I forgot a sock and the washing machine door locked."

Once that door is shut and that button is pressed, your clothes will remain there for the whole cycle. There is no opening that door. So check your laundry basket twice before pressing that button!


5. "Oh look, the washing machine is broken...again."

And yes, I have been guilty of breaking one the first week of class. But don't worry if you do, because 99.9% of the time, you did nothing wrong. Sometimes they just feel like ending your cycle with your clothes still in a huge puddle.


So, there you have it. College laundry thoughts in a nutshell. It's definitely more than just a press of a button.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
