Being A Butler Student As Told By Surprised White Guy

Some things never get less surprising.

Being A Butler Student As Told By Surprised White Guy

1. Showing up at C-Club at 11 at night only to find all the stations closed.

Uh, I'm pretty sure C-club doesn't close until midnight. Just saying.

2. Going to a class at the HRC and finding out it's full.

We are listed as one of the healthiest college campuses, but come on, we can't like exercising that much, right? Right? (6am Cycling, I'm talking to you.)

3. Beating Villanova on our home turf *and* on theirs.

Okay, let's be real. We weren't surprised--but they (and ESPN) may have been a little taken aback. What can we say? Dawgs Gotta Eat, fam.

4. Asking your friends to hang out and getting "Sorry, clusters" as a response.

Again? Seriously? By your second semester on campus, you know what clusters are, regardless of your major.

5. When Danko sends out updates on tuition prices

Oh, wait, you're raising it again? But wasn't it raised last year--whatever. Nevermind.

6. When Danko sends out updates on Butler's Day of Giving.

As if my paying tuition isn't enough, the Day of Giving is an annual reminder that I will be paying for the rest of my life.

7. When First Years live in Fairview and Resco but you lived in Ross or Schwitz.

They will never understand not having air conditioning or communal bathrooms--but they'll also never experience the close-knit units that come with sharing a bathroom with 34 other people.

8. When your professor cancels class on the first day.

I mean we live in Indiana, which means crazy weather...not to mention, a lot of Butler professors live or teach at other places and have to commute. We aren't complaining, though!

9. When summer comes.

I'm sorry, what? Butler has become home, and now you have to leave all your friends. It feels like barely a semester has gone by; how could it have already been two?

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.

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.
