Michael Phelps (And His Face) Describe Your First Semester At Dayton

Michael Phelps, currently at the ripe old age of 31, is well past his college days. As one of the relatively older Olympians in Rio, it’d be kind of strange to put him back in that college environment with a bunch of young adults. But that doesn’t mean he can’t give great advice and, most importantly, relevant facial expressions on the matter! Whether you’re a future or current UD student or just want to reminisce on the past, Phelps would be more than happy to help you. Here is how he would describe your first semester at UD, all in hilariously glorious pictures of his “Phelps Face."

1. When you arrive at the happiest place on earth as a little baby freshman.


2. Literally a baby.

3. When you meet your roommates.

4. Whenever you meet someone new, and you try to make a good first impression.

5. How you actually feel.

6. When you're all moved in and on your own - what?!

7. When the professor starts lecturing on syllabus day.

8. When Friday rolls around, and that means you've survived the first week.

9. When you finally get to visit Brown Street.

10. When you become best friends with Nancy from Marycrest.

11. When you spot a beautiful UD sunset.

12. When you've finally settled into the groove of this college thing. (You've got this.)

13. But then, suddenly, you realize that two months have already gone by.

14. And that means midterms are soon.

15. Yay! When your midterms were relatively easy, and you're halfway through your first semester! Go you!

16. When, before you know it, you have to leave your friends for Thanksgiving break. Only to know that, when you come back...

17. Finals.

18. Time to get to work. Just gotta dive right in!

19. When you're doing good but - oh no - your professor just said the final is cumulative!!!

20. When you reach maximum stress levels and can barely contain the crazy anymore.

21. Barely.

22. When you're taking the test, after studying for ten hours straight only to give up in a frantic decision to wing it.

23. After your test.

24. When your grade is finally released - and it's an A!

25. You survived four whole months at college. This calls for a celebration!

26. It's time to kick back, relax on a nice porch, and enjoy the UD community. Congratulations, you've made it this far! Up next: the rest of your four years here at the University of Dayton!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
