Perks to Living on Campus
Central dorms UKY

Whether it is in the dorms or in greek housing, living on campus definitely has its perks.


1. Walking is easy.

Whether it is walking to a class or an event it is always closer for you than all of your off campus friends. The walk back is also not painful. while all your friends have to make the dreaded walk back after a fun event or after classes all day you don't have to. Your room is right around the corner for you to relax in.

2. Food

Living on campus means having either a meal plan or a house chef to cook food for you. Its always nice to know that after studying you can go some where to get a hot meal rather than having to go home and make it your self. A well prepped meal will always beat ham and cheese.


3. Studying

Late at night whether you are working on your homework or doing a hugh project, it is always nice to have others around to work with. Having to go to the library can be a pain as it is a long walk and at the end of the all of the studying, making the treacherous journey is a pain.

4. No Chores

If you hate the idea of cleaning a kitchen or a bathroom then your in luck because with the on campus housing all you have to worry about in the room is yourself. Sure you have to pick up some shirts here and there but its better than having to scrub the bath tub or wash the dishes.

5. Community

When living at home you will be come close with the people you live with. You will see them everyday for the next year, but for the next year those are basically the only people you will be seeing. When living on campus there is a community. It does not matter the time, you can always find someone new to talk to.


6. Less Worry

When it comes to living on campus everything is set up and laid out for you from the beginning. You don't have to fiddle with the internet or try to collect money for the utility bills. There is also never worry about accidentally paying the bill late and not having wifi the night of a big assignment.

7. Provided Furniture

Living on campus also means everything is provided for you in your room. You'll get a bed, desk, and dresser and in college what more do you really need. You already want to bring everything you own to make your dorm feel just like home, why add a bunch of heavy furniture to that list? With many college campus, they are offering premium style housing which include a couch and dining table.

8. Free stuff

Who doesn't love free stuff. Being on campus means easy access all of these free items from food to a pair of headphones. Whether it is provided by your dorm or somewhere on campus, you don't care because its free.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
