11 Questions I Frequently Ask Myself as a ULM Student

1. Will Stubbs 100 ever stay at a constant temperature?

If you've ever had a class in Stubbs 100, you know exactly how drastic the temperature changes can be. You go in and sit down for class on Monday and it's -14 degrees. You come back on Wednesday with a hoodie prepared for the harsh climate of Antarctica only to find it's now 700 degrees and you're drenched in sweat within minutes. You just can't win.

2. Why can't fried chicken Wednesday be every day?

Every ULM student knows what Wednesday means. Fried chicken and macaroni is served for lunch at Schulze, which brings in faculty, residents, commuters, and probably people who don't even go to ULM because it's just THAT GOOD.

3. Will people ever learn how to drive?

Okay people. This requires no explanation. Learn to drive for the sake of the rest of us.

4. Will the sprinklers ever actually water the grass and not the sidewalks?

I cannot count the number of times that I have had to walk completely out of the way to get to my destination because the sprinklers were spraying the sidewalk instead of the grass. ULM's water bill must be outrageous. Will this problem ever be solved? Who knows.

5. When and where will there be free food?

All college students can relate to this one. As a college student, we are broke and always hungry. If you offer free food, you can guarantee that I will be there.

6. Will I snag a parking spot or have to walk 10 miles to my destination?

Let's face it. Parking on campus sucks. We have over 9000 students that go to college at ULM which calls for a lot of parking that we don't have. The only way I've learned to get a good parking spot is to claim it at 8am or either get extremely lucky and catch someone pulling out of their spot. Also, parking for home football games is horrendous. If you leave campus on that day, be prepared to park on top of someone else because everything will be full.

7. Will the line at Subway be short today or will I have to eat Chick-Fil-A for the 17th time this week?

If you're ever in the SUB around lunch time then you've witnessed the long lines that can develop at Loco Rico, Einstein's, and Grille Works. Subway will have at least 20 people waiting but you have class in 20 minutes so you're forced to either grab Chick-Fil-A or risk being late to class to enjoy your sandwich.

8. Is it even possible to go a full semester without getting a parking ticket?

Most students are guilty of parking somewhere they're not supposed to, even if it is just 5 minutes to run into a building. The parking ticket people have eyes in the back of their heads and a sixth sense that allows them to know immediately when you're parked wrong. No one can get away with it. True story.

9. Will Sandel Hall ever be finished?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm more than ready for Sandel Hall to be finished. It has been interesting watching the building develop, and I can't wait for classes and offices to move from the library and Garrett Hall (which barely has a functional air conditioner) into the newly built hall.

10. Will I ever be able to climb up the library stairs without being out of breath?

Even the mightiest of athletes are out of breath after walking up the stairs in the library. The climb to the third floor may look like not much of a journey but when you make it to the top you'll need at least 60 seconds to catch your breath.

11. Will I end up transferring somewhere else?

ULM is the perfect place to be.

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.
