The ABC's of College

A isn't for apples anymore...

The ABC's of College
Datacenter

We were taught our ABCs at such a young age but as time goes on, they resemble different things. I have listed below the ABCs of College.


A

A is for Amazon Prime. A service from Amazon that gives students 50% off of Prime for the first six months. I did not regret buying Amazon Prime because nothing is better than only waiting two days for a package.


B

B is for breakdowns, something you will have many times within your college years. B can also be for being broke, something we also all experience in college.


C

C is for cramming. You can cram in many ways. You can cram in studying for a test or a quiz. You can also cram in a nap.


D

D is for dorms. You will either love or hate you dorm. Either way, you are stuck with it until the year is over so make the most of it.


E

E is for experience. You experience a lot of things during college. You can be exposed to new things when you go away and meet people from all over.


F

F is for Freshman 15. You can run but you can't hide from it.


G

G is for http://www.grubhub.com. Grubhub has everything you need, whether it is for lunch or late night cravings.


H

H is for homework, something you either never get or never do.


I

I is for insomnia. You will have those "all nighters" in college.


J

J is for jobs, something you will constantly search for while you are in college. You can search for temporary jobs and or maybe jobs you are interested in spending the rest of your life working at.


K

K is for knowing who, what, how, where and when. Whether it is knowing what restaurants give student discounts, where there are dollar burger nights, or who to go to when you are in need, you will know exactly what to do.


L

L is for L, something you will take often in college. You will have good days, but you will also take L's.


M

M is for money, something you will have little of.


N

N is for naps. It does not matter how little time you have to do your assignment, you will still squeeze in a nap. Nothing goes better with a nap than Netflix.


O

O is for opportunities. You will not be handed opportunities, work hard in college and you might get lucky.


P

P is Pong. You will either win or lose, just try to be the best you can. P can also can for procrastinating. Either way, you will play pong and procrastinate at least one a week.


Q

Q is for quizzes. Your professor will either announce them or never announce them. Either way, try to be prepared for them.


R

R is for reading. Reading is something you might never do but your essay on that one book may prove different. We also can't forget about http://ratemyprofessor.com . Before choosing a class, you know that you better go on that website or else it will be the worst class of your life. You will be able to see if your Professor is a pushover or requires a lot of work.


S

S is for syllabus week. Syllabus week is the week that you find out how much of a pushover your professor is or is not.


T

T is for talking to people in your class to find out if they finished that paper or made a review. "Joe from English" comes in handy sometimes.


U

U is for utilizing your resources. Whether it be for projects or the weekend, you will find a way to get what you need.


V

V is for venting, something you will do to a close friend from home.


W

W is for working out, something you claim you will do 'tomorrow' but never do.


X

X is for eXcuses. You will find any excuse to miss a class but still claim you were 'sick' meanwhile all you wanted to do was nap or finish that one season you had left on Netflix.


Y

Y is for you are wasting your time and money. People spend too much time clubbing rather than getting an education, something their parents paid tuition to go to college for.


Z

Z is for zodiac signs, they do not mean a single thing. You will not meet the love of your life because she is a Libra and it was your 'time' for love.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
