Services To Take Advantage Of On Campus

You're already paying for them.

With finals coming up, we are all in a frenzy trying to prepare for the last few weeks of class. With the increase in stress, sicknesses setting in, and just al around frustration, it would be easy to let the services available on campus slip your mind. However, with everything that is happening on campus right now (and the fact that everything seems to be moving in fast motion), these services available on campus can be very helpful right now. Get your money's worth.

Counseling Center

It's getting colder outside and Daylight Savings Time means its getting dark before we're even out of class. Seasonal Affective Disorder is on the rise, as well as stress because of finals. Most schools have one and it can be very useful, especially towards the end of the semester.

Gym

It might just be me but I always complain about wanting to get in shape. I always forget that my campus offers so many opportunities for me to work out. There are recreational gyms, indoor tracks, pools, fitness classes, and a world full of fitness opportunities I haven't taken advantage of. It is also helpful to help destress as well.

Transportation

While the bus that campuses provide can sometimes be a little.... rough, they do help you get places quickly and you're paying to be transported. Why pay for parking when you're already paying for a bus?

Parking

On the other hand, if you're in a pinch and are absolutely going to be late to class if the bus doesn't show up in front of you at that very moment, the parking decks and parking passes can come in handy.

Student Health Services

With the change of the seasons and the lack of sleep, there are bound to be an abundance of illnesses going around. Take advantage of the health services if you can.

Tutorial Center

If you're anything like me, you're going to be stressed about at least one course when it comes to finals. This is an extremely helpful service to help ease your mind and help you master that course.

Athletics

If you want to destress or go hang out with friends, go support your school's athletics! It is a great way to be involved on campus.

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.
