6 Things Xavier Students Are Tired Of Hearing
Xavier University

Everyone has things that if they never heard again for the rest of their lives, they would be very happy. Often times those things apply to groups of people. Tall people are sick of being asked if they play basketball (especially when they do not), redheads get tired of the "gingers don't have souls!" quips, and anyone with a remotely inappropriate first or last name is especially tired of people exercising their freedom of speech. For students at Xavier University, the list gets kind of long.

6. So did you hear about that pizza atm?

Yes, I did. Thank you for thinking of me, but I knew it was coming long before you saw it on the Today Show. And if I hadn't, the 13 other people who tagged me in the exact same Facebook video beat you to it.

5. How's your football team this year?

This one always comes with a smug grin or forced laughter. That's a good one. Definitely the first time I've heard it. Undefeated since 1973. Moving on.

4. That's an expensive school; you must be rich!

Some of us are, some of us aren't. There's a lot of scholarship money floating around, and a lot of crippling debt. A lot. You can't choose who, or where, you love right?

3. Have you tried the pizza from the ATM yet?

I know all of my friends and family are anxiously awaiting for me to take on my role as quality control, but as of now, I have not. It's the same pizza I can walk inside the caf and get for free* (*already paid for) so I haven't brought myself to pay $9 for it yet. Sorry for being a disappointment, but when I try it, you'll be the first to know.

2. You're pretty good at basketball, right?

Personally, no. But if you mean me as in my school, then yeah, you could say that. I mean we did happen to beat the current national champs, but no big deal. Honestly, this one doesn't get old because, let's face it, who doesn't want to talk about how awesome their school is.

1. "Eggs-zavier"

It happens everywhere: on tv, at family functions, if you wear a Xavier shirt to the mall. I understand, the first time, if you think to pronounce the "X" like it belongs in front of the word husband, I do. But if I say Xavier to you and then you say back Ex-xavier to me, I'm going to think you're correcting me. And that just makes no sense seeing as one of actually goes there. Oh well.

But there's one sound we'll never tire of...

and that's the announcer at the basketball games with the always enthused "forrrrrrrr Xavierrrrrr!" and a good ol' Let's Go X chant.

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:

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.

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.
