When You Are Having One Of Those Days

It's ok to get hit by the waves, but get back on your board.

When You Are Having One Of Those Days

There's one word to describe my life in college: messy. Not all of us are those type of students who can keep it all together and look good doing it. This article is for all of you who wake up at 12 from last night's social with the X's still inked on your hands.

Picture this. You have your lecture at 12:50. You set your alarm for 11:30, but of course, you sleep through it and it's 12:25. You debate a fast shower or just putting on some decent outfit. I like to go for what I call a "sprint shower." It's literally a 3-minute shower, and yes it is possible. You also save UF on their water bill, so you're welcome housing department. As you look for your phone it's on 15% and in a friend's room down the hall.

"Why?" you may ask. You do not know and that's the mystery of your day. You brush your teeth and use the remnants of an already disposed deodorant stick and you’re out the door. Then you remember your keys are still in your room. You run to the elevator so it comes to you and knock on your door because you’re locked out. Your roommate throws them to you with a cheese stick for breakfast. You’re on a roll! If you’re lucky, you’ll have a class in Turlington and can Tapingo a Venti Iced Coffee from Starbucks so you can survive your mere 50-minute lecture on the conjugations of Spanish verbs. Tapingo gives you an alert that your drink is ready and you’re feeling good.

You flirt with the barista because you’re in a great mood, but remember your hair is looking like half a bird’s nest. It’s ok. Life goes on. It's 12:45 and you sprint pass either Impact or Inspire political representatives who just want to discuss their viewpoints. However, they have no idea the day you are having and politely decline. They'll most likely follow you to your class and you suck it up and hear them out for a solid 2 minutes. You open the door to class and you're in your seat at a chilling 12:48. You feel accomplished and satisfied. Then your teacher tells the class to take out your pencil and begin your exam.

In the wise words of Teddy Duncan, "Good Luck Charlie."

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.
