Ah, Cooper Hall. USF's hub of classrooms and offices, everyone's favorite place to go and freeze our broke little butts off. Where else would we go to waft the scent of Subway into our nostrils while we try to focus on whatever class it is we're taking at the moment? Where else would we roll our eyes at while we try to avoid the group of extremists who stand outside and scream at students?

Exactly.

Without further ado, here are 5 things everyone thinks about Cooper Hall.

1. WHY is it so cold?

I've mentioned it once, I've mentioned it three times, but it seems almost impossible to drill into the brain that Cooper is basically a euphemism for Antarctica. It's always freezing unless you're wearing some form of long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, and there are times where you swear you can see icicles forming off of your nose. And yet, I still continue to attend class in my shorts and a tank top because it is still Florida weather outside, and I still continue to mentally berate myself every time I step indoors every time.

2. That Subway smell though

You want. You need. That line stretching out the front door says otherwise, though.

3. I'm pretty sure this bathroom is a set from a horror movie

It's dark, it's one-ply toilet paper, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to die in here. But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, right?

4. Too many stairs

I could write sonnets about how much I hate climbing these stairs, and I hate writing sonnets.

If all the stairs I did not climb, I could/

I'm pretty sure I'd die, I'm sure I would.


5. Where is my classroom?

It's not in the upstairs, it's not in the downstairs, it's not in that weird third part of the building that's separated by that drafty open hallway that gets super dark when it rains. Oh, I read my schedule wrong? What? Oh. I'm dumb.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
