6 Near Death Experiences You've had at SJU

If you go to SJU, you've probably had few near death experiences either by the hands of the shuttle, or crossing the street on City Ave. Here are 6 near death experiences you've likely had on St. Joe's campus.

1. Crossing the Street on City Ave or N. 54th

Drivers on City Ave don't stop for anyone, even when the light is about to turn red. It's even worse crossing on North 54th where there's no light. May the odds be ever in your favor.

2. Almost getting hit by the shuttle at the Mandeville stop

If you've walked across the mandeville lot when the shuttle comes through, you've definitely had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit by the shuttle

3. Walking to the 4th floor science center after leg day

The trek to the 4th floor science center is hard enough on a normal day. The day after leg day though? Just dig my grave now.

4. Getting Lost in Barbelin

Getting lost in Barbelin happens even if you're a senior. Make one wrong turn on your way to class and it's all over. Will you ever see the daylight again? Who knows.

5. Riding in Pub Safe/the Shuttle

Apparently one of the requirements to be a public safety/shuttle driver is being super aggressive and ignoring all traffic signs.

6. Waiting for the Shuttle in the Freezing Cold

When the shuttle is late and you're waiting outside in the freezing cold. How many fingers do you have to lose to hypothermia before you can file a lawsuit

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
