College As Expressed By The Blinking White Guy
The Guardian

College is hard. Really hard. As I was surfing the Interwebs, definitely not avoiding homework, I ran across the blinking white guy meme. And he expressed all of the feelings I've ever had about college. Here are my 10 constant college feelings as described by the blinker:

1. When a teacher pulls up a "Lesson 1" slide on syllabus day.

Your heart skips a beat and you pray that you remembered to bring a pen and paper.

2. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

And you give them the evil eye as you walk by. If only you'd remembered to write your name on it.

3. When you go to a darty and see a freshman in a full-on clubbing outfit.

As her heels sink into the muddy frat grass, you begin to slowly giggle.

4. When your favorite teacher gives you a bad grade.

Even though you didn't study...how could they do this to you??

5. When you open your math textbook and it looks like an actual foreign language.

Why are there letters in my math? Is this a typo?

6. When anyone says they miss high school.

Unless your experience was like Troy and Gabriella's, I will never understand this statement.

7. When you think Summer is close and someone tells you it's only the 2nd day of classes.

"I'm sorry sir but you're wrong, that has to be impossible."

8. When you take a quick 30 minute nap before your class and wake up 4 hours later.

Your initial thoughts: "Why is it dark outside? Did I die?"

9. When your friend's say you should go out with them, but it's a Wednesday.


And don't they know that you're busy with your newest Netflix show?

10. When someone tells you that college is the best years of your life.

God I hope not.

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.
