Why my floor is the best ever!

Why Your Floormates Are Your BFFs Throughout Freshman Year

As I enter my second month as a Syracuse University students, I have made friends in classes, clubs, organizations/publications I am involved with, my floor and through "friends of friends." However, despite all of the relationships I've formed, the most important of them are the ones I've made with my floormates.

From EDM blasting in the hallway, to studying by the elevator eating snacks to hanging out at my friends Maia and Emily's dorm watching Netflix and eating popcorn until the early morning, the laughs and memories I've shared with my floormates have been amazing. I couldn't imagine living with anybody else.

Your floormates will be your main source of support, besides your family back home. I know if I ever had a problem with something, whether academic or personal, or if I needed anything (food, toothbrush, air mattress, whatevs), I could share it with them and get their advice, honesty and loyalty. In fact, I don't even have to knock anymore, and just come on in whenever and feel welcome (I do this a lot).

Study buddies and homework are literally two steps away. My floor is filled with majors from Broadcast Journalism to Anthropology to Biochemestry. Their different perspectives and styles of studying are something everyone can benefit from.

In addition, they also serve as the ultimate fashion police and, combined, the biggest source of all the clothing, shoes and accessories you'll ever need. On my floor, the girls are constantly going to each other for outfit advice, getting ready for parties together, and, of course, borrowing clothing from each other on a constant basis.

Overall, there is nobody else I'd rather spend my freshman year with. My floormates have quickly become my best friends and they have created a comfortable, welcoming living environment where all of us can have fun with each other and goof around, 24/7 (literally).

~Shoutout to the Boland 7 girls and guys for being the best friends ever!~

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.
