Thank you.

19 People All College Students Need To Thank

There are hundreds of people in your life that deserve a thank you. With Thanksgiving coming up, people typically thank their family, friends, and their pets. Try to focus those that may be underappreciated. These are the people besides your friends and family that have most likely made your life easier.

1. Your freshman year RA

The person who dealt with your problems. They made sure you were safe when you made poor decisions.

Thanks, Nick and every RA in Tower D!


2. The cleaning staff

When you trash the common room, someone cleans it up. The cleaning staff is filled with incredible people that you should talk to more. Say hi and see how their day is going.


3. That kid who gave you a pen in class

Let's be real, at this point in the semester, you are running out of supplies.

4. The security guards at the desk

They have to deal with all of the shenanigans that happen at night in your building. They get bored though, so talk to them. They are really nice people.


5. Dining hall workers

Many people have their favorite workers on campus. Whoever it is, make sure that they know they are appreciated.

Thanks, Ms. Verna!

5. Reed Hastings: CEO of Netflix

You know why.


6. Your advisor

We need to appreciate the advisors who went above and beyond to make sure that you succeed.

Thanks, Jon Lesh!

7. Your parents

If it wasn't for them, there is a chance you wouldn't be in school. You can never thank them enough.

Love you Mom, Dad and Anzie.

8. That professor who didn't take attendance

You are a godsend.

Thanks, Professor Webster.


9. The librarians

They do not get enough credit for being incredible resources to students.

Thanks, Lisa Woznicki.

10. Your roommate

The person that deals with you every single day. They see you at your best and your worst. You allow each other to be super weird.

Thanks, Sarah!


11. That kid with the printer

We have all had our printer break at terrible times. Thank that kid on your floor who let you borrow theirs when you were in a time crunch.

Tori is the real MVP.

12. Campus Activities Board/ Student Government

They have to attempt to satisfy the entire student body. They will never please everyone, so appreciate how hard they work.


13. Your orientation leader

They had to deal with all of the questions you had as a freshman with a smile. They helped show you the ropes of your college.

14. Whoever gave you a grant

This could be a woman who is currently drinking a mimosa at her beach house that created a scholarship to help the youth. $500, $5,000... that's less money that you have to pay.



15. That really hard professor

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Thank that professor that made you work your ass off for that grade. Chances are, you learned from it.

16. The people who struggled in that class with you

You all probably bonded with the all nighters you've pulled together for this course. You all encouraged each other that you will survive.

Thanks, Kevin, Steff and Whitney.


17. That really easy professor

They helped you boost your GPA.

18. That person that DIDN'T believe in you

It pushed you to prove them wrong.


19. Most importantly: That person who DID believe in you

There are so many times that every college student freaks out being an adult. Thank the people that knew from the beginning that you could do it. These are the people outside of your main core of family and friends.

Thanks, Tom Askey, Stephen Edgar and Patrick O'Donnell.

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.

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.
