16 Things BISFA Students Know All Too Well
Barbara Ingram School for the Arts

BISFA definitely has it's "quirks", and that's why we all love it so much. However, more often than not, these "quirks" can be the bane of our existence. Nonetheless, they're what make our school such a unique experience.

If you go to BISFA, or graduated, you will be familiar... maybe a little too familiar with this list:

1. THE #$@! STAIRS

Sorry to start off on such a strong note, but this had to be the first one, and we all know exactly why.

Exactly. Why.

2.School doesn't actually let out at 4:30

I feel like our school days are 12 hours long half the time because of all the rehearsals and after school activities we have.

3. You won't know until the day of what you are doing

Our lives are just one big improv scene.

4. We have the best football team in Washington County

And yes, we are better than North's football team.

5. We "like" to sing happy birthday to people at lunch

We all actually don't like doing it, but we feel obligated to half the time.

6. When crossing the streets of downtown we just go for it

Jokes on you because we actually want to get hit so that we can avoid presenting our (insert whatever assignment you have that day.)

7. If you don't know you ask Mrs. Webb

Mrs. Webb is the only one that knows what's going on in that entire school. I swear that this is true. Also, as soon as you enter the school she becomes your mom. Accept that.

8. DO NOT TAKE THE ELEVATOR IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PASS

Mrs. Hunt is always watching. Always.

9. Go ahead and try to go to your locker on the catwalk before the bell rings

Ms. Ridenour will give you a glare that will pierce your sole and end your existence.

10. Alumni will comeback and you better be happy about it

We will literally come the day after graduation and we expect you to act like you haven't seen us in years.

11. Yes, we are an arts school. No, that does not mean we want you to sing at lunch.

Yeah, sorry. We hear enough of that in class.

12. We aren't really sure what our school colors are

Gold? Silver? Black? Purple? White? Gray? All of them?

13. The BISFA student section will forever be lit

It is obviously for the great football team that we have.

14. Every building is a different temperature

It's good to pack about 3 different outfits so that you can change accordingly.

15. Our teachers all have lowkey nicknames

For example: Dr. RobHov, Doc, Stokesy, Matty D, and Weary (you always leave out the Mr. this is CRUCIAL.)

16. We really are a family.

It's true. We are one big, dysfunctional family.

We may have our fights, but at the end of the day, there isn't a single thing I wouldn't do for one of my FAMtoms.

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.
