Why You Should Join A Learning Community
Community

1. Support System

I am a freshman at Auburn University and I do not know what I would have done without my learning community. The group of girls that I was with have given me so much, but mainly they have given me support. They were there for me when I was having a bad day, or when I was just sad. We were there for each other when emotional things happen or something as trivial as falling and I am more grateful for that than they will ever know.

2. Teacher Mentor

If you ever have the pleasure of knowing Bonnie Wilson you're life will be blessed. She is the most amazing teacher that I have had the pleasure to encounter here at Auburn. She is blunt, funny, and accepting. She has impacted my life more than I can say.

3. Peer Mentor

I had the pleasure of having an Aerospace engineering senior named Jill as my peer mentor. Jill was a great influence on us, always telling us that if we love what we're doing no matter how hard it is than we should stick with it. She also told us that it's ok to get a B, or a C in a class because you are great and if you try your best and don't get an A than be proud of the grade you received.


4. Friends

I would not have the majority of friends that I have now if it wasn't for my learning community. They are always there for me and I am there for them. I don't think that I would be as sane as I am now if it wasn't for them. Especially, Jenn, Hanna, and Kendall they are amazing human beings who help me get through classes and hard days where I just want to stay in bed. They are my stress outlets and some of my closest friends.


5. Study Partners

The last thing I have to say about learning communities is that they provide great study partners. When you sign up for a learning community they put you in classes with other people in the learning community. This was how I passed my history class, and I can't wait to see what the future holds since we still have classes together.


If you are a Freshman coming into Auburn this fall I highly reccomend applying for a Learning Community, you won't regret it!!

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.
