7 Slang Words College Students Use These Days

When you attend and live near a college, you come across some phrases and words that you have never heard before. As a college student, these phrases just weasel their way into your vocabulary because you are surrounded by it so much. Some of these phrases may even bother you, but they still spill out because of the culture of slang at a college campus. Here are some examples:

1. "Send it"

We don’t casually just drink anymore, you send it back. This hazardous way of drinking arose amongst college kids binge drinking at parties and at bars. I highly do not recommend this, but sometimes it has to be sent.

2. "Lit"

“No, mom the people are not on fire, they are just lit.” When everyone is vibing and having a good time, this is the term that is thrown around.

3. "Slide"

Your friends don’t just show up to your house anymore, they slide through.

4. "GDI"

God Da** Independent. Typically someone not affiliated with a Greek organization; often throws really fun parties and let most guys in, unlike usual fraternity gatherings.

5. "Bet"

This is used to prove your friends wrong.

6. Being "Iced"

Not like the normal ice cubes, but Smirnoff Ice. Careful, if you get surprised and it’s an ‘Ice’, take a knee and start chugging for the Snapchats.

7. "What are the moves?"

Basically the decision of what the plans are going to be for the night.

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.

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.
