20 Things GCU Students Are Missing This Summer
Ally Richmond

School has been out for a while now, and the relief of being out of classes is starting to wear off. We want to go back. GCU students especially, show a real love and commitment to their campus, and are most definitely missing all that dear GCU has to offer. With that in mind, I have compiled all the things GCU students miss most about their beloved campus. I know you miss these things too.

1. Chick-fil-A

Giphy

If you live in a God-forsaken land devoid of Chick-fil-A, I am so sorry. I bet you're really missing the Christian chicken right now.

2. The dorm life

Giphy

Maybe you don't miss this, but I bet you miss living with your friends and late night chats. You might miss your RA's and Life Leaders too.

3. Beach volleyball

Giphy

I never played beach volleyball and I still miss beach volleyball. It looked like loads of fun, and the whole campus could hear whenever there was a game.

4. Basketball games

Giphy

LOPES UP!!!! Basketball games are a GCU staple and without them, our lives are much less hyped.

5. The shuttle

Giphy

Bless the GCU shuttle. This service is REALLY underrated, but for those who work at the off campus office building, it is absolutely wonderful and much easier than the current summer job commute.

6. The sound of construction in the morning

Giphy

Don't you love it? Just kidding. The construction is the worst, but it is a reminder that GCU is getting bigger and better everyday! There's more to look forward to when school starts again!

7. The professors

Giphy

GCU professors are the best! Their enthusiasm, passion for teaching, and their humor make them well-loved and very much missed over the long summer months.

8. The friends

Giphy

Of course you miss friends! As soon as school lets out, everyone flocks back to their home states and your friend group is likely fragmented. Very sad.

9. Longboarders

Giphy

Almost getting run over by a long border is a daily struggle and the absence of their reckless riding makes me a little sentimental.

10. The Havocs

Giphy

Everyone loves the Havocs, especially the Havocs. Their pep might be a little stifling at times, but you know you miss their spirit a little bit.

11. Chapel

Giphy

Chapel is the best part of the week! Lots of students are definitely missing their weekly worship session.

12. Brian Muller sightings

Giphy

Seeing Brian Muller in person is an event. Probably more for students than for him, but hey, I'm sure he misses us too.

13. GCBC

Giphy

Ok, so the coffee is kind of crappy, but, the convenience is unmatched on campus, and it's the go to meet up spot, so it's great.​

14. Life Group

Giphy

If you've ever been in a Life Group, you know what I mean. Life Group is awesome and SO much fun!

15. The parking

Giphy

JK. No one misses the parking.

16. The welcome week hype

Giphy

Yes! Welcome Week is so hype! I bet you can't wait to get back to campus and party it up before it's time to get to work.

17. Study nights

Giphy

Late night study sessions with friends might feel like torture in the moment, but looking back, weren't they kind of fun? I think shared suffering brings people together like no other.

18. The music that’s always coming from somewhere

Giphy

I really miss the random music that always seems to be coming from somewhere at GCU. Campus never seems to sleep.

19. The gyms

Giphy

When the gym is as convenient and free as it is on campus, I go regularly. When I'm home during the summer and gym memberships are expensive and far away, I don't go. Ever.

20. The Lopes Shop sales

Giphy

Passing the Lopes Shop and seeing that they are having a box sale literally stops my bad days in their tracks. I love a good discount.

We miss you GCU. See you in August!

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.

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.
