"Why are we showering?"

Overheard And Written On My Roommates' Quote Wall

On a daily basis, people say a load of ridiculous phrases. Things you overhear without context, things that stick with you that for some reason you don't forget.

One of my roommates recently overheard one college girl say to another, "Why are we showering?" out of context. My roommate has no idea what the girls were talking about for the one to pose her question.

To capture moments like these, my roommates and I created a "Quote Wall" for our room, on a giant slab of a chalkboard sign. There, we record the entertaining phrases we say to each other and sayings we've overheard from others. We've nearly filled it up in under four months.

Reading through the quotes written on there always puts smiles on our faces and laughter bellowing in our guts. As a piece of comical entertainment, I thought I'd share some of the highlights.

"I feel like vodka is just angry water." — Roommate #1

"I don't think it's the alcohol that makes you drunk, I think it's the mixer." — My mom

"My chemistry homework is kicking my butt. Also my roomie said she'd be reading but I hear snoring coming from her room." — Roommate #2 (when asked, "How's it going?")

"After I graduate, I'll pop my head out into the world and if it snipes me, I'll retreat into grad school." — Random guy

"Thor is like a frat bro. He just keeps drinking and smashing stuff." — Random girl in my history class

"Did I put the Febreze in the fridge?" — My friend

"After my Thursday classes, I'm going to take a fat nap, and then I'll wake up just in time for alcohol." — me

"Among the words given, find the intruder." — Roommate #2 (translating French)

"You might wanna start fixing your bra now." — My friend

"I think Jesus is gay because he has really good lighting in his pictures." — Roommate #2

"That's not fair! We had Peach on our team, that's like having a handicap." — My sister (while playing Mario Party)

"Did you say something? Sorry, I was in the midst of taking off my shirt." — Roommate #2

"Just put it in your mouth and suck it off." — Roommate #2's lemon eating tutorial

"You're jerking it off too fast!" — Roommate #2's mom (on how to drive stick shift)

"Pants are just skirts for both legs." — Roommate #1

"The only things I can do with hair are crappy ponytails, crappy braids, and crappily brushing it." — Me

"We'll start fingering through it soon." — Roommate #2's mom (on packing clothes)

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
