A Day In The Life Of A Stevenson University Student

Stevenson University is a college unlike any other. As a smaller sized private college, going through big changes, Stevenson is surely unique. With three campuses, shuttles, and finicky wi-fi, a student’s day is all but smooth. Despite a potentially rocky start to a day, students have nothing but love for the Stevenson family and community. Here is an average day in the life of a Stevenson student.

7:00 a.m.: Wake up after seven alarm snoozes and rush out the door to Rockland in order to get food before your 8 a.m. or just shove in a granola bar as you’re running to catch the shuttle.

8:00 a.m: Walking from the shuttle to your class (which you are already late for) because the shuttle schedule wasn’t running on time.

9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.: Going from class-to-class, and from one campus to another before either being done for the day or stopping for a lunch break.

1:00 p.m.: If you’re on the Owings Mills campus, you are likely to scarf down some food at Rockland, but if you are lucky, you will get the chance to use flex dollars elsewhere. If you’re at Owings Mills North, well there’s not much of an option there…. If you are at Greenspring at this time, well you are one lucky dog for they have the best food out of any campus.

2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.: You are either finishing up classes for the day or heading to your on-campus job so you won’t be “college broke” any longer.

5:00 p.m.: Here is where you make the important decision of whether or not you get an early dinner and beat the rush, or cram in some homework for an hour before eating. It is also the time where you will see what Rockland has as their dinner option, and contemplate whether you really even want to eat at all.

7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.: As both athletic events and club meetings are going on at this time, you have yet another important decision to make. You must decide whether you want to go watch the soccer game or attend one of the meetings for the multiple clubs you are involved in.

9:00 p.m.: Well it’s that time of the night where your loads and loads of homework is just beginning to be done. You have three papers, two forums, and 72 club projects to work on, not to mention you have to get up early in order to make it to Jazzman's before getting on the shuttle.

11:00 p.m.: In the midst of doing homework, your RA is knocking on your door, checking in during rounds, which causes you to start a conversation, which can go on for about 45 minutes.

1:00 a.m.: Exhaustion is setting in but you have only one more paragraph of the paper that is due tomorrow. You are likely to fall asleep on your desk while struggling to keep your eyes open.

3:00 a.m.: You wake up sweating because your suitemate turned the heat all the way up and their door is locked and you can’t turn it down. Then the dread hits before falling back asleep as you realize that you have to wake up in a few hours and do the same routine all over again….

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
