Oakland University has many perks...as well as, many downfalls. As all universities do.

Eighty percent of Oakland students are commuters. The other 20% are students who reside on campus, but we all face similar problems during the winter semester.

Besides the fact that we live in Michigan and we expect cold weather during the winter, lots of other winter occurrences make OU a special school to attend in the winter.

The Simpsons are an animated family struggling to survive the winter season. They are the perfect family to describe OU's winter probs.

Eat my shorts, winter!

1. You're willing to be late to class in order to get a closer parking spot

2. Moving your car from parking lot to parking lot throughout the day

3. We appreciated the workout in nicer weather, but this hilly campus is killin' us now

4. When it's slushy and the yellow lines are hard to see, so the lot is a mess

5. You can't wear your moccasins because they'll be destroyed after walking to class and your feet will freeze

6. Hilly campus = slip risk maximized

7. When the walk from the OC to Vandenberg becomes a Narnia movie

8. When you're in a class that doesn't have windows, so you have no idea what kind of weather happened within that 1 hour and 47 minutes



9. Wishing you were an actually grizzly bear because hibernation

10. You think Spring Break means warm weather, yet our spring break is in February.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
