22 Overhead Campus Conversations That Remind Us That College Students Are Their Own Breed

Randomly overhearing conversations is probably my favorite thing about walking from class to class. There's never a dull moment, and sometimes it just really makes you feel like you're not the only one riding (and never getting off) the struggle bus.

Here are some of my favorite quotes someone's said to me, or I've just ~non-creepily~ overheard walking around campus.

1. “Yeah, no, I thought I was pregnant but turns out I’m just fat. You win some you lose some.”

2. “I wonder if I could get hit by a bus and not die but have it pay my tuition and come out like slightly okay.”

3. *Waiting for an exam* "I'm just waiting for this edible to kick in."

4. “If I had a dollar for every test I felt confident taking, nothing would change. I’d still be broke as f*ck.”

5. “What’s an average stripper’s salary?”

6. “Can you punch me hard enough so I don’t have to take my orgo exam?”

7. “We had a juul date night it was pretty romantic.”

8. “How many classes can I fail and still get into grad school?”

9. “I’m making an advising appointment just so I can cry in her office.”

10. “Last semester I hid in the north stacks for 2 days.”

11. “No, we don’t have to buy that. I took all of the utensils we’ll need from the dining hall.”

12. “No this isn’t coffee. It’s just 14 espresso shots.”

13. “I failed my test but I told my mom I was pregnant first to make it seem like a smaller deal.”

14. “What’s the UGLI?” –athlete

15. “I swiped left on her and I’ll never forgive myself.”

16. “Her mom is way hotter though.”

17. “I listen to my ‘cry playlist’ every day now.”

18. “I never thought I’d be so happy to get a C- on an exam.”

19. “I don’t get why he’s so mad I want to date his friend instead of him.”

20. “I tripped and fell on concrete and just laid there for like 5 minutes.”

21. “This morning I found a video of me drunk-eating an entire large Domino’s pizza alone.”

22. “By mistake, I watched 14 hours of Netflix straight.”

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.
