8 Things You'll Only Understand If You Go To Alabama
Taylor Coffey

Home of 16 national championships and the greatest college to exist, The University of Alabama is completely unique and unbelievably excellent. As much as one wants to think they could get the hang of this college life because they are or have attended a different institution... you can't. However, you can try and I'm going to try and help you out!

Here are 8 things only a UA student would understand.

1. ACT card

This is your lifeline here. Never let it out of your sight.

2. Running out of dining dollars on said ACT card

The gloriousness of Starbucks and Panda Express are too good to resist.

3. The Ferg

The food. The proximity. The entertainment. 10/10 recommend.

4. Supe Store

Not only does it have cute gameday apparel, but it also has everything you could need for classes! Conveniently, it's located next to Starbucks and in the Ferg.

5. The Quad

Need to orient yourself? Make your way to the quad. It's the heart of campus.

6. 4th Quarter

Play for four, stay for four. Amirite or amirite?

7. Rounders/The Strip

These go hand in hand as Rounders makes the strip! Best bar around so they say.

8. B. Phils

THEY TAKE DINING DOLLARS. B. Phils, you're doing amazing sweetie.

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.

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.
