How You Know You Go To UAB

UAB has its pros and cons, but us Blazers are always proud to represent our school, but here are a few things we all know after even just a semester on campus.

1. Cross walks are a "suggestion" of where to cross.

J-walking has a whole new meaning when you go to UAB, it is no longer an illegal way to cross the street, it is more like a way of life.

2. Starbucks is only safe when everyone else is in class.

Early in the morning, before class, after class, and late at night are never a safe time to go to Starbucks if you don't want to stand in line for an hour.

3. Robberies and other crime in the 16th street parking deck comes to no surprise.

We all know about the crimes that have happened there, and we all subconsciously fear that parking deck... although, when some new crime pops up there, we brush it off.

4. You don't bother to invite people to your dorm because you don't want to go through the process of checking them in.

Checking people in and out can become a hassle.. You know it's for your safety, but you'd rather not deal with it so you never have guests over.

5. Als is the place to be when it's 3 in the morning and you've got the munchies.

Late nights are the perfect time to do a little studying, hangout with friends, and eat an entire baker yourself.

From j-walking to eating at Als, we (Blazers) know the ins and outs of UAB. The longer you stay the more you learn. Go Blazers!

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.

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.
