15 Things All University Of Arkansas Students Know to Be True

From freshman to alumni, here are 15 things that all University of Arkansas student knows to be true.

1. The Brough smell will haunt you.

I didn't notice it until someone pointed it out, but now it follows me everywhere. Smell aside, the cookies there are life-changing.

2. The squirrels just do not care.

Honestly, they're a little terrifying. Personal space is not a thing.

3. It should be called the University of Arkansas and Texas.

Your sociology class has 300 people in it? At least 200 of them of from Texas.

4. There's a difference between Dallas and Dallas, Dallas.

Dallas, Texas is the Dallas area and the surrounding suburbs. Dallas, Dallas is the actual city. And yes, there is a difference.

5. Club Mullins is everyone's favorite RSO.


The people go to Mullins Library religiously, the odds of getting a decent table on weeknights is low. Finals week it is nonexistent.

6. Greek life is huge.

30% of students on campus are a member of a Greek organization. Even if you are not a member of one, chances are you've been asked if you are or you have a friend in one.

7. People take their Thursday nights seriously.


You best bet that half of your floor in your dorm is going to be going out on Thursday night, and they have already devised a plan on where they're going first.

8. Dickson Street will become your best friend.

For the older students or the freshman with a fake and who actually looks older than 16, Dickson Street becomes a staple.

9. The Hill must be avoided at all costs.

God bless those who live in Pomfret. Walking up The Hill never gets easier and avoiding it at all costs is the best option.

10. Football, all day every day.

Our team may not be the best, but people defend it like their religion.

11. Meal Trade is a blessing and a curse.

It may not always be the best, but Meal Trade is honestly a life saver. Chik-Fil-A forever.

12. Parking tickets are the bane of your existence.

If there's one thing the University of Arkansas loves more than calling the Hogs, it's giving you a parking ticket for anything and everything.

13. Pomfret's fire alarms go off more than your alarm before your 8 a.m.

Again, God bless those who live in Pomfret.

14. Chances are you've fallen on campus at least once.

Flat sidewalks? HA. The spot outside The Union has taken down many a good person.

15. You will call the Hogs, and you will do it often.

Football game? Call them Hogs. Finite test? Call the Hogs. In the cafeteria? Call 'em. See a campus tour? DO IT. Outside the dorms at two in the morning. HELL YEAH DO IT. People will literally call the Hogs at any time.

For all the good and the bad though, the University of Arkansas is our home and we'll probably fight whoever trash talks it. Woo Pig Forever Y'all

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
