21 Signs You Are Stuck In The 20-Year-Old Rut

Too old for fraternities and too young for the bars. The struggle is real.

21 Signs You Are Stuck In The 20-Year-Old Rut

1. A freshman has asked you, “Who you do know here?", at a frat recently. More than you freshman, more than you.

2. Your pregame always becomes the game, and then the postgame, and then you end your night alone.

3. You’ve slept at the frats more nights than the freshman in the room have been at college. We've all done it.

4. You’ve tried to convince your 21 year old friends that an apartment party is more fun than the bars.

5. You hope for a theme party every week.

6. You actually just hope for any party.

7. You’ve started asking the sophomores for plans. If that doesn't work, the freshman.

8. You’ve contemplated dorm storming. You went.

9. You’ve tried sneaking in to every bar on campus. You’ve stopped trying.

10. A night at half priced apps at Applebees usually sounds more appealing than a night out.

11. You have a countdown until your 21st. 6 months, 4 days and 3 hours.

12. You have made an endless amounts of shot pages, none of them are for you.

13. Your night ends when your friends go to the bars and you end up eating Smotherella sticks from Jeff's.

14. You can’t remember the last weekend you didn’t get woken up shortly after bar close by your 21 year old roommate.

15. You practically have a PhD in fake ID drama.

16. You’ve thought about your 21st more than your Wedding Day.

17. You can’t keep up with the room changes in the frats anymore.

18. You know which frats you can get into the kitchen and which ones you can’t. You plan your night accordingly.

19. You have completely given up on your outfits. Basketball jersey and sweat pants? Perfect.

20. You say age is just a number so that you can hook up with a freshman.

21. Then you realize age is not just a number and instead is the reason for all of your problems and you need to be 21. Like yesterday.

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.
