What A Round Of Golf Is Actually LIke

"Why did I ever think taking up golf was a good idea?"

What A Round Of Golf Is Actually LIke
Stocksnap

You wake up early Sunday morning and look outside and see the sun shining bright and not a cloud in the sky. 'Today would be the perfect day to go golfing' you think to yourself. So you call up your friend (or dad) and you get your clubs together, call to make a tee time and head to the course. These are probably along the lines of how exactly your round goes.

1. Your first tee shot

You tee up your ball and look at the hole ahead. It's a straight shot for the hole, all you have to do is hit it straight and you're set! You take a deep breath and BOOM you swing as hard as you can and watch the ball slice wayyyyyyy to the right. Great.

2. Finishing the first hole

Well, you ended up getting onto the green in 5 and then you got an 8. Good thing it was a par 5!!

3. Halfway through the front 9

You haven't completely given up yet, but getting a bogey or double on every hole has started to frustrate you. You finally get to the first par 3 of the round. You hit your 7 iron from the tee and watch it beautifully sail onto the green. You cheer a little on the inside and your dad gives you a high five.

4. Your first par

You put and watch the ball sink into the hole. This is it, the best day of your life. You got a part FINALLY. You smile and stride with lots of confidence to the next tee box.

5. The hole after you par

Not a chance you get anything less than a bogey on this hole. You probably say "I quit" 3 times alone this hole.

6. The sand shot

You unfortunately get into the sand and without a doubt you have the worst possible shot. It takes you 3 shots to officially get out of the sand, which usually results in the throwing of a club if not the ball itself.

7. At the turn

You shove 4 hot dogs down your throat, hoping it will erase the memory of the front 9

8. At the beginning of the back 9

You're not doing too bad. A couple pars and a bogey, you might actually get par on the back 9!

9. The Water hole

You're so happy with your golf game you decide to "Go big or go home" and try and hit it over the huge pond. You fail, and end up losing four balls.

10. The 18th hole

You somehow figure out your drive by the 18th hole and think to yourself 'where was this al round?" You end with a par and smile on your face.

Even though you probably said "I quit" or "I hate golf why on Earth did I ever think I should play" five or six times a round, you count up your score and realize you didn't do as horribly as you thought.

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.
