9 Random Things To Ponder While On UWG Campus During The Semester

Facebook

As a junior on campus, I have learned A LOT about our campus in West Georgia. Here are some random things that I have learned throughout.

1. Some of the desks on campus are for tiny children, not students.

Giphy

I experienced this today, my thighs did not appreciate these smaller desks. Not really sure why there are some that are like that.

2. The Starbucks on campus may not have the new drink you want at 2pm.

Giphy

Its fine its fine, I didn't want the new refresher anyways. So you may want to rethink about that drink!

3. You will get blisters on your flip flops on campus even though you have been wearing them all summer.

Giphy

Totally didn't wear this rainbow flip flops all summer. Why are they now causing me problems on campus? I'm not sure about you, but I changed to tennis shoes right when that happened.

4. If your roommates want to go get ice cream at AGW with you, go!

Giphy

You may look back on your college experience and realize that you missed out on moments! And plus, ice cream. Why would you give that up?

5. Learn to make friends with the students in the parking lot.

Giphy

You will be thankful for this tip trust me, you will want to become friends with people in the bookstore parking lot, greek village, and yes even Evergreen (eye rolls I know).

6. Even if you don't have the money, walk into the campus bookstore.

Giphy

Its honestly just cool to walk through and see what is in there and what is even on sale. You may find yourself liking one of the items and adding it to your birthday or holiday list!

7. Prepare for any type of weather on our campus, even rainy weather.

Giphy

Georgia is known for being super bipolar, so you best bet that West Georgia is too. You may want to keep your umbrellas in your car just in case it does rain!

8. Make sure you have a back up if your printer spazzes out.

Giphy

Yes, this can happen. Usually Ingram will have some other printing options for you if your own printer does decide its on its last leg of ink!

9. Make sure you check your school email, for important reasons but also for other things.

Giphy

Yes, it is best you check your school email to see if a professor has emailed you, but there might also be other emails that come to your school inbox like 200+ emails about coming to the Applebee's off campus.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

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.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Don't freak out

Email the professor

Attend the first class

Keep attending class

Have a backup plan

Remember that everything works out at the end
