The Struggles Of A Scranton Student

This ones for all the Royals who know the struggle is real living in Scrantopia.

1. Running out of meal swipes, and you're left to choose between flex and royal.


2. Forgetting your ID like.


3. Trying to find a table on third floor.

May the odds be ever in your favor.


4. When someone says, "OMG Scranton! You mean like the Office!"

Like thank you! I have never heard that one before!


5. The Starbucks line.


6. Trying to find a parking spot like.


Then you realize you're all the way on Taylor with 5 minutes until class down in McGurrin.


7. Getting cited, then cited again and maybe once more.


8. "Wait, Scranton doesn't have a football team?"


9. Your phone blowing up with hundreds of Scranton Alerts.

Followed by sirens going off every second.


10. Wellness.

Does nothing.


11. The weather goes from 100 to negative 20 in a matter of days.

12. Hitting the dinning hall during a meal rush.

Suddenly DeNaples looks like the next battle scene in Game Of Thrones.


13. Zoca charging extra for guac.

Like no. You are not Chipotle.


14. Getting hopelessly lost in LSC.

Yes, you do walk in to the second floor.


15. Every boy thinks wearing a jersey to a day drink is a thing.

It isn't.


16. In the hills section, everyday is leg day.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
