40 Thoughts Everyone At Garba Has
Srinidhi Vangala

Garba is probably my favorite time of the year. It’s part of nine-day festival called “Navaratri”. Garba is filled with LOTS of dancing, food, colors and fun.

There’s a certain thought process that goes on in your mind while in the midst of the Garba excitement. Here’s a breakdown of the thoughts that go through someone’s mind during this thrilling experience. I myself went to Garba this past weekend and found myself thinking these things.

  1. OMG what the heck am I going to wear?
  2. When and where am I going to go? So... many… options
  3. Ok, before we go inside and get trampled by approximately 500 people, we need to take pictures
  4. Wait. Where do I put my phone?
  5. *Sees crowd doing complicated step* HUH? WHAT IS THIS?
  6. I need to find a friend to explain how to Garba 101. This is too much for my brain.
  7. HELP ME! WHAT IS HAPPENING?
  8. After the friend shows you…. “Wait show me again; I forgot”
  9. Oh god... Now I need to do it myself. RIP
  10. Annddd the song is too slow.
  11. Why is the aarti so long?
  12. I don’t understand why I need to be pushed and shoved during aarti too! Aren’t we all praying to the same goddess?
  13. Oh look, I’m standing in between two lines looking like a confused potato.
  14. Dang, that girl’s lehenga is cute. I wonder where she got it from
  15. I think I got this thing down.
  16. Okay sure. Just decide to change the step right when I actually understood what was happening.
  17. I need a friend again.
  18. Aunty, the next five girls after me is #squad. So, can you please refrain from breaking our lineage?
  19. Alright. Well, the music is pretty fast now, and I probably won’t be able to make it a full circle because I’m really out of shape, but I’ll die trying.
  20. IT'S MY FRIEND FROM SCHOOL. *runs out of the line while knocking over 20 people*
  21. I’m internally screaming every time the singer yells “OIY HALLLOOO HALLOOO”
  22. Did I lose my friends? I’m a loner. Wonderful.
  23. Good luck to me trying to find all my friends again.
  24. I’m hungry. I need food.
  25. Why is one water bottle $5. IT'S WATER.
  26. Does my lehenga look ok? *waddles to bathroom*
  27. Do I know her? Maybe I should just smile and wave at her? Oh jk, that’s awkward. I don’t know who that is.
  28. I never knew I could swear this much.
  29. What time is it anyways? I totally lost track.
  30. Ok. Time to go home. I can’t anymore.
  31. I actually think I spent more time taking pictures. Maybe I should go back in.
  32. Eh there's always next year.
  33. DID SOMEONE TAKE MY CHAPALS? Oh, there they are.
  34. My feet are so sore. SOS.
  35. I need a massage ASAP.
  36. Can we go to Mcdonalds please? I need to regain all of the 20 calories I just lost.
  37. Do I really want to take the effort and take out the 40 saftey pins that are hidden in my lehenga?
  38. Maybe I can just sleep with this on?
  39. Wow I’m never doing this again.
  40. JK. What should I wear next week?

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.
