12 Times 'The Vampire Diaries' Summed Up The Basic Training Life

"Please stop talking."

77
The Vampire Diaries

Basic training is rough and all kinds of stressful, and who better to explain it than a couple of vampires, a werewolf, and a witch?

1. When someone leaves their wall locker unlocked

Nobody liked walking up into the bays to see that it had been trashed because some idiot left their wall locker open... again.

2. When it starts raining during a ruck march

This happened on more occasions than I'm okay with remembering.

3. When a Drill Sergeant asks you why you did something

I feel like this one needs a little bit of explanation. We had a drill sergeant who would make us do push-ups and ask why we were doing our own thing, and we would always respond with "Because, Drill Sergeant, I do what I want."

4. When you meet someone who has already finished Basic Training

Gotta say, I was always jealous of those AIT guys.

5. When someone says something stupid in class

More than once we had someone ask a Drill Sergeant a stupid question, or someone is a smart ass about something the drill sergeant was talking about — it never ended well for us.

6. That one time at Omaha Beach...

If you look closely at my boots I wore to Buddy Team Live Fire, you'll probably still be able to see the caked on mud that will probably never come off.

7. That time someone asked the Drill Sergeant if they could take a nap

You would think after we were told NOT to sleep, he wouldn't have asked.

8. When you find that one person you don't hate

For me, she didn't come in till nearly half way through basic training, but she made it bearable.

9. When they decide to have PT outside when it's raining

Even our Ability Group DS thought it was insane.

10. When your drill sergeant asks why you have 'that look' on your face

Apparently I just have this face where people think there is something wrong or that I want to kill someone. 9/10 times, they're probably right, but I'll just continue to quietly hate them.

11. When the Drill Sergeant says "You can go upstairs early"

ITS A TRAP — I REPEAT, ITS A TRAP.

12. When it's finally over

You're lying if you say you didn't shed a tear when you stepped foot on that graduation field.

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.
