A Day In The Life Of A College Student

giphy.comEveryone knows that college kids have it rough. I decided to provide a brief outline of a typical day of a college student.

7:30...Alarm one goes off, groan, roll over, and turn it off

7:45...Alarm two goes off and you question if you really need a degree. Answer is yes you do but you hit snooze anyway

8:00...Alarm three goes off...throw some outfit on with a hat and go for the sporty look...still wondering if it's too late to drop out and be a flight attendant

9:00...Breakfast! Oh eggs! And toast! And that extra large coffee that tastes terrible but you need caffeine so you drink it anyway.

9:30...History class...This does not pertain to my major so why am I here? I wonder if flight attendants get good benefits?

10:30...Yay! Freedom and another coffee is needed!

11:30...Lunch time! As usual there is nothing good so settle for a salad and maybe a slice of pizza...and coffee.

11:45...freak out because you forgot to type that reflection that is due at 12:30

12:20...finish reflection and email to professor and thank the heavens that someone reminded you.

12:30...Psychology class. Now this class isn't too bad but if I was a flight attendant do I get stay in a location for a little bit?

1:45...NAP TIME! ...wait...there's a paper due at 5 and you have one paragraph typed...kick back another coffee...

3:00...boring class that is filled with common sense and the sound of snoring...could I be a flight attendant or should I try a travel agent?

4:15...Dinner! And, surprise, there is nothing good...again...suffer with a burger and fries.

5:00...Philosophy class...Blah blah blah Aristotle Blah blah blah...I wonder if a travel agent gets paid well?

6:15...FREEDOM!!!

6:30...Yes I want Chipotle what kind of question is that?

7:30..."No I did not study for my exam that is tomorrow"...*internal cry of anguish* Start studying...

8:30...Youtube Break!! Let's watch cats!!

9:30...Oh shoot! It's been an hour...okay focus back to studying...

10:30...Well that is as good as it is going to get if I don't know it now I never will.

10:45...okay shower time....and the showers are full...I'll wait till you and your off-key singing are done.

11:30...What is taking you so long?!

11:45...Finally I can shower.

11:50...Time for brief existential crisis of what I am doing with my life.

12:00...End crisis...and shower.

12:30...Type paper on "Why Philosophy is Important" or something like that. Still considering being a travel agent...

1:30...Oh man it's 1:30 I need sleep....but wait there's more! There's a psychology paper you need to type!

2:15...Well I guess I can do this tomorrow....

2:30...So a travel agent? Let's look up what is included in that...

7:30...Start all over again...Travel agent, eh?

College is filled with so much stress, it's no wonder we sleep all the time.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
