10 Highs And Lows Of College Life As Told By 'That 70s Show'

If I had a dollar for every time ALEKS told me I had an incorrect number of significant digits, I wouldn't need any student loans.

The 90s could easily be described as the golden age of television. With classic shows such as "Seinfeld," "Friends," and "Boy Meets World," you can not escape the phenomenon that was these sitcoms. Despite me only existing for the last 39 days of this decade, I was not immune to the love that all people seem to share for these shows. As I have started college, moved away from home, and made new friends, I have noticed certain parallels between my life and these small screen wonders, particularly "That '70s Show," which ironically has been playing in my dorm room on Netflix almost non-stop these past three weeks.

1. Realizing that the classes you registered for will not be as easy as you had hoped

Sophomore math at 8:30 am? Chemistry almost every day? Yeah, no thank you.

2. Staying up until the wee hours to finish assignments you put off to the last minute

We have all had those 2 a.m. dining hall runs after finishing a 50 topic ALEKS objective.

3. When your online homework won't let you continue until you get a question right

If I had a dollar for every time ALEKS told me I had an incorrect number of significant digits, I wouldn't need any student loans.

4. Waking up for class

Seriously, who thought that it was a good idea to start class anytime before 10 a.m.?

5. Realizing that you are probably behind

Nothing is more terrifying than doing homework all day and STILL seeing that you have five more assignments to do on Blackboard.

6. When your roommates are being loud during nap time

In a room with seven girls, there is never a dull moment.

7. Studying with your friends always turns into Netflix

"What do you mean you've never watched 'How I Met Your Mother?' That changes now."

8. When the dining hall is crowded as hell

There is nothing I wouldn't do for ice cream.

9. When class ends early

Early ending class = nap time for everyon

10. Hanging out with your roommates

Cue the dance parties.

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.
