If you're a Lehigh student who has lived in Brodhead, you know all about the struggles. Here are the 8 worst things about living in Brodhead.

1. "Oh...where's that?"

Since all other housing is literally at the top of the hill, Brodhead is often forgotten. Nobody seems to know where it is or that it even exists, honestly. The only perk is not having to walk up the hill at the end of the day.

2. Weekend hikes to Rathbone

Since Lehigh is like the only college campus that keeps one single dining hall open on the weekends, it is a 0.9-mile hike uphill to Rathbone. 2,000+ FitBit steps in case anybody was wondering - so have a cupcake on your way out. You deserve it.

3. The elevator is slow as hell...

If you're lazy like me, you know the struggle of waiting for the damn elevator to stop on every single floor before it finally gets down to you.

4. ...and it smells like pee

Enough said.

5. The "gym" is like 2 broken treadmills

Honestly, it shouldn't even be listed on amenities — you get enough exercise from your hikes to and from class anyway.

6. There's always that one room on your floor that plays sh*t music on full blast

You know exactly the horrible remixes I'm talking about.

7. The dining hall is disappointing 100% of the time

It's basically just an empty salad bar and 2 trays of food that nobody really wants.

8. There is a weird, distinctive smell in every stairwell and on every floor.

Mmmm, the sweet smell of the 4th floor.

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.

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.
