13 Struggles Of Having An Old iPhone

Updates take forever, new phones are expensive, you already know the way this phone works, you don't want to deal with the people at the Apple store. As a result, you have a good old iPhone 4 or a newer phone that you refuse to update, and whatever the reason for that, there are definitely a few downfalls to your plan of never adjusting.

1. You can't name the group chat

You know which group message is your brunch squad, but still, it'd be nice to see it on the top of the messages.

2. You can't react to messages

You can text haha but wouldn't reacting 'haha' be so much more rewarding.

3. You don't have any room on your phone

The photos are important, okay? They're memories.

4. Thumbprint identification?

Nope.

5. Manage your storage in settings

You get this message at least twice a day.

6. What?? iMessage games??

They're out of fashion before you can clear enough room to get them

7. Bitmoji

If I had a Bitmoji I could show you how sad I am about my lack of Bitmoji, but alas I cannot. Instead, there is a Bitmoji with longer hair and better eyebrows than my hypothetical one would have.

8. No new emojis!!

The lion is so cute... And I want to be able to use the nerd emoji, not just the glasses.

9. The little alien emoji you get after every hand emoji

Because your friend picked a skin tone that you can't see

10. Everyone complains about how tiny your phone is

Yes, this is the size yours used to be, you're just used to your tablet sized iPhone 6 Plus now.

11. Sometimes your apps aren't updated

It's fine, not like you wanted snap filters or Instagram stories anyway.

12. You still have photos from when you first got your phone

Braces. Lots of braces.

13. You get the alien emoji more than anything else

It rubs salt in the wound, just a little bit.

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.
