What It's Like To Shop At Costco, In GIF Form

There comes a time after far too many late-night food runs and walks down the street to Chipotle that a college student realizes that stocking up on food is a prudent decision. For the more ravenous, a weekend Target run won't tide them over for long -- two boxes of granola bars last two days instead of two weeks, your roommate develops a serious Coke habit, and suddenly you're out of food again.

There is hope, however, in the holy kingdom staffed by the pantheon of consumerist gods: Costco. Finally, enough food! 100 crispy, greasy taquitos! Literal pounds of Goldfish! Not even you can eat 46 fruit roll-ups in one night! These GIFs explore a common aspect of the college experience -- the Costco run:

When you dig deep in the refrigerator and find that there are no more snacks:


When your roommate mentions that he's a Costco member:


Upon seeing the towering displays of food, clothing, gadgets (and more):


When you bring a shopping list to divide and conquer:


But then can't find the rest of the squad:


When the free samples are out in full force:


... But one of them isn't so great:

When the checkout line is too long because everyone bought as much stuff as you did:

Trying to bring everything back to the room in one trip:

But, eventually, you make it back to the room with enough Hot Pockets, Cheez-Its, candy bars, and mini tacos to last a month -- even if you eat them every day. Costco makes college much, much easier.

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.
