7 College Horrors Only Slackers Can Relate To
Thibault Penin

Let's face it, you did great in high school. Honor rolls, study guides, and academic excellence were just your forte. Then, college hit and you tried at first but the weight of living and school just burnt you out and here you sit, a fifth year senior with serious slacker issues. Or maybe, just maybe you've just begun your backslide into the "C's Get Degrees" mentality. Perhaps you always had this mentality. Whatever the case may be, you're here in this struggle bus with the rest of us and I'm here to tell you it is one of the most peaceful yet completely terrifying places to be. Here's to seven college horrors a slacker knows all too well.

1. The sight of Parking Services near you illegally parked car

You know this scene. You slept late for a test, zoomed to campus, and low and behold every last student parking spot was taken, so you did what all us college kids must, you parked in a faculty spot and prayed to the powers the be that your car wouldn't be ticketed or towed. Now, you're walking or should I say jogging back to class only to see the parking services truck strolling out of the parking lot your car is hiding in.

2. When people start passing papers forward but you don't know what on earth they have

Was there a test? I was only five minutes late. Maybe homework? Shoot, was there homework. Please no, my GPA can't take another hit.

3. When you haven't shown up to class in three weeks, then you decide to check the attendance policy on the syllabus

"Excessive absence will result in failure of the course" is always my favorite phrase to read... not!

4. You're assigned a group project with all your slacker friends and you know you are in for the most painful research paper known to man

Honestly, nobody knows what's going on.

5. That guilt you feel because you don't feel guilty about skipping this class again

I'm a bad person because I don't feel bad about being bad. I am just trash.

6. When you're home for the holidays and the fam starts asking too many questions

Look, Linda, it's none of your concern what my GPA is. Tis isn't a competition between me and your Dean's list freak of nature.

7. Being twelve credit hours away from graduation, but your grades in one class aren't lining up with that whole graduate on time vibe

Well, this is how I die I guess.

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.

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.
