As the fall 2020 semester comes to a close, I decided to ask some fellow college students their favorite parts of this semester. I figured a simple question would show how students are handling the pandemic. Some were eager to share, some were offended I even asked the question. Here are their responses.


"I enjoyed getting to see all of my peer's profile pictures."

- Patrick Meehan


"Having a newfound hatred for the British. Nah just kidding it's that no matter how far away from home you are, you'll always find people you can connect to and have similarities. "

- Mae Johnson


"Have a $70 paper textbook as my only physical connection to my education is the best!"

-Maxine Haspel


"My favorite part is my unending depression."

- Anonymous


"My favorite part was that I could go to school in bed and not try."

-Anonymous

"I truly love having the opportunity to get a college degree online! It gives me the degree without any of the work!"

-Anonymous


"Someone who was not a part of our class got on the zoom. She starts singing WAP.. to everyone. You could see everyone's reaction on zoom.. Shocked."

-Julia Mendez

It's been one wild semester.

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.
