College Life As Told By 'Friends'

I think we can all agree that college is an experience like no other. Even when you think you have it all together, you still have no idea what you are doing the majority of the time. There are some things all college students can easily relate to no matter what school you attend, or if you live at home or on campus. I happened to notice as I was watching an episode of "Friends" just how relatable it really is.

1. When your professor assigns two papers and three homework assignments all due on the same day of your exam.

Seriously, why do professors think this is a good idea? I also have four other classes besides yours to worry about and a job but I'll just spend all of my time and effort on your class and get behind on everything else in my life.

2. When you have spent all day in class and you wonder if anyone around you can hear your stomach rumbling.

3. When you stayed up all night to write a paper and go to your class first thing in the morning.

We've all been there and we all have looked just like this the next day...well, minus the suit and tie. It's more like sweatpants and a hoodie that you probably also wore the night before.

4. When the professor asks for a volunteer.

There's nothing worse than the professor asking for a volunteer and the entire classroom sitting silently in fear of what they are signing up for if they raise their hand.

5. When you sit down to take an exam you actually studied for and still don't know half of the answers.

6. When the professor tells you that the tests are cumulative.

7. Trying to find any possible excuse to avoid taking an 8 a.m. class.

8. Getting ready to walk across campus to class in the middle of the winter.

It's either layer everything you own or freeze. Your choice.

9. When there are loud people in the library while you're trying to study.

10. When you're so tired that you just start lashing out about anything and everything.

11. That feeling when you live to see another weekend even though you were sure that you weren't going to make it through the week.

12. When you finally decide that if you do any more homework or studying you are going to lose your mind.

13. Drinking about 10 cups of coffee just to get through the day.

14. Learning how to be an adult.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
