10 Experiences In College That Seem To Come Naturally

1. The drink you want is usually not what comes out of the fountain.

Every time I'm craving some fruit punch, I get iced tea instead. But when it is fruit punch, I can't help but cheers to a good day.

2. Two words: Microwavable meals

Welcome to college. Our specials on the menu today include mac and cheese, ramen noodle soup, and hot pockets. For dessert, cake in a cup.

3. Netflix binges

There's no better way to end a long day of classes than watching five episodes of your favorite Netflix show.

4. The struggle and stress of sharing a bathroom

You're lucky if you haven't had to deal with the awkwardness of your suite mate walking in on you in the bathroom...

5. Lots of walking

Once you get done with the semester, you'll probably noticed what stellar calves you have from all the strolling around you do on campus.

6. Dreaming about having money

If you could describe a college student in one word, it would probably be broke. But that doesn't mean we can't day dream about getting that Friday paycheck to spend. Holla for a dollar!

7. Laundry

Ah, there's nothing better than laundry day. *Cue sarcasm*

8. Traditions

Whether it's the cheers in the football stands, the campus legends, or the haunted study halls, every college has their own unique traditions that you are bound to learn and love.

9. More (or less) sleep

It depends on your schedule, but college kids most likely get a lot more rest than they did during high school. Yet, some students lose a significant amount of sleep due to the nightly homework grind.

10. Meeting so many unique individuals

One of the greatest things about college is it vociferates diversity. You have the opportunity to get to know so many people from all over the country and the world. So take advantage!

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.
