8 Texts You've Definitely Received If You Go To Tulane

Honestly, you've probably sent them, too.

8 Texts You've Definitely Received If You Go To Tulane

When I first moved into my dorm room, my mom insisted that my roommate and I hang a dry-erase board on our door. How else would anyone know where we were? How would our friends leave us messages? We never ended up hanging up the board, though—this is the 21st century, and texting is the modern-day dry-erase board (in terms of college communication, anyway). As a Tulane student, there’s no doubt you’ve received all of these texts at some point.

1. “Wanna Bruff?”

The first response is always a disgusted no, but after some persuasion, you know you’ll eventually cave.

2. "Date with Howie T tonight?”

As much as you don’t want it to be, sometimes staying in on a Thursday night to study and finish last minute homework might be the reality, and you’ll have to RSVP yes to studying at the library instead.

3. "Is it sunny enough to tan at the social pool?”

The answer is always yes.

4. "Do you need to go to the Boot Store yet?”

Because no one wants to walk all the way there alone. (Chances are, you probably need to, anyway.)

5. "Can we go out and eat, like, real food tonight?”

If your budget and study schedule can handle it, this is another text you won’t reply no to.

6. “We should work out today, right?”

You’ll probably go back and forth between wanting to stay in bed and wanting to avoid the Tulane ton, and probably will put off working out until tomorrow.

7. "Are you going out tonight?”

This might seem generic to any school, but most recently, I got this text on a Sunday. Only at Tulane.

8. "I’m visiting you for Mardi Gras!”

The infamous invite-yourself-to-Mardi-Gras text. If you said yes to all of these, you’d have to have visitors sleeping in tents outside your dorm.

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.
