10 Conversations Any KU Student Can Relate To At The End Of The Year

It's finally starting to look a little like spring here at the University of Kansas, which means more and more students are out and about, walking to class, work, and the other various events that go with college. It's refreshing to see the bright, shining faces of higher education.

However, the closer we come to the end of the semester, the odder conversations between students tend to be. Between trying to live our lives as humans and successfully trying to navigate the end of classes, KU pupils talk about some weird, but highly relatable, topics. Here are 10 such conversations.

1. "Chik-fil-A sauce runs through my veins."

With a Chik-fil-A conveniently located on campus, it's hard not to ingest as much of this store's product, sauce definitely included, as possible. Don't try to look for some after 12 pm, though. The hordes have already run them out.

2. "That's due Wednesday?" "Yeah, tomorrow's Wednesday." "Oh, shit. . ."

A conversation between two people, these fast-approaching deadlines are rampant in everyone's schedule. No longer can students say, "Oh, no worries, it's not due until April," because it is April. Now is the time to worry.

3. "I came in at like 5:45 and was done by 6."

In reference to an exam, this statement can either mean that the student knew the material so well that the test only took 15 easy minutes, or (more likely, in my opinion) the student had an incredibly small capacity of caring about said test that only lasted about 15 minutes.

4. "It was nice to have a break from school, but now I can't do school, I don't know how."

Said on the Monday after Spring Break, this basically sums up every student's attitude toward the last half of spring semester. Sorry, professors.

5. "I never do this. Why am I doing this?"

I can't tell you the context of this phrase, but I can tell you I've thought this exact sentence in reference to college as a whole at least 20 times in the past week.

6. "Ugh, I have to work on Russian homework." "You're studying Russian? I speak fluent Russian" *begins a conversation in Russian*

This happened between two of my customers who were complete strangers, and they talked in Russian for about 10 minutes with my co-worker and I am watching, completely befuddled. It's astounding to me that college brings together people in random, magical ways such as these.

7. "The Vietnam War was soooooo long."

I imagine this was said in an attempt to seem knowledgeable about the Vietnam War. If this isn't me in most collegiate situations, I don't know what is.

8. "Give me my hat back!" *tackles the man to the ground on Jayhawk Boulevard*

College students are so unstable during this time that scenarios like these happen much more often than we'd like to admit. Even the casual taking of a friend's hat is no longer safe.

9. "Bro, do you think I could still make 6 figs if I dropped out?"

I'm an English major, and I still seriously consider this regularly. We all know the answer is a resounding no, but we won't stop asking this when the going gets tough.

10. "You know what sucks? When you hate your Monday, Wednesday, Friday classes AND you hate your Tuesday, Thursday classes."

No matter where a college student is in their degree, there comes a time in the semester where going to class is a real struggle, no matter how fascinating it was to begin with. Now is that time.

Hang in there, KU and college students everywhere! We're almost there.

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.
