The Struggles Of Being Directionally Challenged
favim

I knew I had a problem when I would get lost on the way to my own house. I knew I had a problem when I grew up in a city I couldn’t navigate without my GPS to save my life. Here are 11 struggles of being directionally challenged.

1. None of your friends want to drive with you because they want to be there on time

2. Turning down the music to focus on directions

3. Nobody wants to be in an operating vehicle with you because you genuinely have no idea what’s going on

4. You took the highway and got off at the exit after the correct one and so you had to drive for about ten minutes before there was an option to make a U-turn and now you're angry

5. There has been multiple emotional breakdowns on the road after missing your turn

6. You use landmarks as points in which you must turn but when you come from a different direction you are suddenly so very lost

7. You cannot help direct anybody to anywhere because you literally just don’t know

8. When your relatives come to town and you have to whip out your GPS in your own neighborhood

9. When you’ve been down the same road for more than 20 times but you still use Maps because you can never be too sure

10. Getting lost in every single apartment complex you've ever entered

11. Thinking about whether you're directionally challenged or just blind

If you can relate to any of these I will send a prayer your way. God bless the directionally challenged; may your GPS always be speedy and your gas always affordable.

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:

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.
