10 Times April Ludgate described an Out-of-State's Weekend at a Suitcase School

As much as it would say otherwise, I go to a suitcase school, which in case you don't know what that is, it means that most people go home for the weekend. Being that I am from out of state and live more than two hours away, I can't exactly do that. There are quite a few ups and downs, but all in all, usually uneventful.

1. The initial joy of the weekend

Giphy

At first, you almost forget that you're going to have a meh weekend. You don't have to go to class, get up, or deal with people you don't want to.

2. Then you remember that there's nothing to do

Giphy

It's even worse if you don't give a hoot about sports, because the biggest deal during the weekend are the games.

3. Unless, of course, you have a paper due, which you don't want to do

Giphy

Which you do anyway because you don't want your GPA to tank. It's the weekend, though. A time of rest.

4. On the bright side, the campus is dead

Tenor

Meaning, no waiting in line, and less obligation to make small talk.

5. Weekends are perfect for family visits

Giphy

It means you can get off of campus if carless, maybe even eat real food.

6. But when it's not an option.... What to do?

Giphy

Sleep? Watch Youtube? Sleep some more? Eat?

7. You could attend a dorm party ironically

Giphy

It's something to do, and could be a chance to observe the devolution of humanity, but just... why? And all they have is beer.

8. You can still stay up during the wee hours

Tenor

If you don't have a roommate, bedtime is whenever you like. Then sleep all day.

9. Wait, is it Sunday night already?

Giphy

Wasn't it Friday a couple hours ago? Maybe boredom and sleep make time fly way too fast.

10. At least you're not bored, but you'll have to go to class....

Giphy

And wake up... And deal with people because campus is no longer dead.

Let's hope someone wants to visit in the near future, and you don't have a paper.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
