You Know You Go To Bradley University When...
Bradley University Website

Bradley University. "Home of the Braves (or the Gargoyles)." "Go far Go Bradley." "Be Brave." You could say a million different things about this school. Every university has traits that distinguish them from the rest.

But, you know you go to Bradley University when:

1. The Safety Cruiser has a special spot in your contacts.

Whether you're going to church, the lib or a party, the Safety Cruiser is (happily) at your service during all hours of the night. Also the Safety Cruiser allows you to get from point A to B without being hit on by creepy townies.

2. At some point whether you remember it or not, you've been to Baccis.

No one truly likes Baccis, but somehow we've all ended up there at some point. You know you're turnt when the words, "Let's go to Baccis" come out of your mouth. But hey, who's going to turn down pizza the size of your head.

3. Every time you go to the library, the wifi magically stops working.

Nothing is more annoying than going to the lib to find out BUsecure is down. BUsecure generally isn't the fastest around campus, but you would think the wifi would be considerably fast at the library, where people do, like, homework, and tests, and projects.

4. Trying to register for classes is like trying to get tickets to a Beyoncé concert.

Prior to registering, you make a schedule. You set your alarm and register for your classes when it's time. You get wait listed for pretty much everything. Then you create this really nicely worded email to the chairman of the department. Honestly, registering for classes is sometimes the most stressful part of the whole semester.

5. Cams and Crusens is home of all the turn ups.

Unless you're actually 21, people stay away from the bars downtown. That leaves us with the wonderful Cams and Crusens. They offer BU student discount, they have fun promotions and they always provide entertainment whether it's a live band or a DJ.

6. Spring is always the best semester.

Fall is fun because it's the beginning of a new year. Hands down Spring is the best semester, though. People are happier, everyone is on the quad and we can't forget our favorite past time... day. kegs.

7. Forgetting your ID for Markin or the library.

Blessed that Bradley is so secure, but sometimes our ID is the least of our worries. More pass-backs happen at Markin and the lib than at Cams or Crusens.

8. Short walk to class.

If the walk to class is any longer than 5-10 minutes it's not worth it. Everything is so close together that the walk from Greek row to Campustown is the longest walk on campus (10 minutes).

9. You sometimes forget there's more outside the 'Bradley bubble'.

The Bradley bubble includes campus, McDonald's and Campustown. Unless you have a car on campus, you don't get off campus much. It is easy to forget there is more to Peoria than just Bradley.

10. You grow a new love for squirrels.

The Bradley campus is infested with squirrels. They are the most friendly squirrels you will ever encounter - they run to you like a dog. The squirrels' only worry on this campus is getting fed. It is rumored if you graduate with a 4.0, you are reincarnated as a squirrel.

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.

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.
