12 Signs Your School Has An Unfortunate Ratio

When I was looking at different colleges, my mom suggested I consider the Air Force Academy. Why?

The ratio. “Think of all the guys,” she said.

But instead of going to the Academy and enjoying the favorable 80:20 male-to-female ratio, I chose the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with the thrilling ratio of 40:60.

This is the reality of going to a school where the numbers are against you:

1. In high school ratios were never a problem

You took it for granted.

2. And even though you knew the ratio was bad coming in, you were optimistic it wouldn’t be an issue for you


3. But the dance floor always ends up being just you and your girls

A.K.A every night is a Girl’s Night


4. And your dance moves are seriously under-appreciated 

Unless, of course, you’re Beyoncé


5. Guys can be jerks sometimes because they know the odds are in their favor

Please, just stop.


6. When you visit schools with a more positive ratio it feels like a candyland of men… Mandyland

Sign me up.

7. You secretly worry about being able to finish your MRS degree in just four years

It’s crossed your mind, admit it.


8. You have little motivation to dress up for class, because you know there’s almost no one to impress

~Priorities~


9. When you hit it off with a nice guy it feels sort of like this...

*pinch me*


10. Finding a date for a cocktail seems to require a miracle


11. You can’t help but hate your friends with boyfriends just a little, because they don’t understand

The struggle is real, okay.


12. But in the end, you decide the ratio doesn’t matter because girls rule and boys drool

Amy knows best.

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.
