10 Thing You Did Not Miss About UD

Because it's easy to say all the things you missed.

10 Thing You Did Not Miss About UD

Let me start by saying I love UD. And if you aren't from UD, you need to know that people love UD, like seriously loveeee it. And with any loving relationship, there will always be bumps in the road. There are a million and one things I could say about all the wonderful things I missed about my school over the summer, but my sarcastic self decided to focus more on the annoying quirks instead. Because, let's face it, UD students love complaining.

1. UD Secure

Or old faithful, as I call her.

2. All the bodies at the RecPlex

Like go away and let me sweat in peace and without judgement.

3. Up the Orgs on the hottest day of the year

Why does this day defy all acts of nature and always end up being the sunniest, hottest day of the year? Nothing says join my organization like skin cancer and pit stains.

4. Fines

For everything. A random can in your yard? Fined. Forgot to take your trash back from the curb? Fined. House wasn't clean enough at the end of the year? Fined.

5. The $210 dollar parking pass

Because the University needs money to repave every parking lot except the one you are using.

6. The lines at the Runway

I just want my dang KU sandwich at a reasonable hour of the day. Is that too much to ask?

7.The walk up Stuart hill

Each year the climb seems steeper and longer.

8. Fire alarms

In your dorms, in your apartments, (if you have my luck) in your house. You can't escape the blaring drills that happen twice a semester.

9. Resetting your Porches password

It wouldn't be a big deal if we didn't have to do it 52 million times, and always on the most inconvenient day like right before finals. And if it didn't shatter your whole world after you change it, while you manually renter it into every site and the wifi. Also why are the requirements so complicated? My password is like cracking Da Vinci's code with all the random weird requirements it has me follow: one number, one symbol, one uppercase, the last four digits of your social security, the name of your childhood pet, etc.

10. Tuition.

Because $52,000 dollars a year ain't no thang, right?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
