10 Thing You Did Not Miss About UD

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

Aug 30, 2016

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?

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

3. I will go to the gym more.

4. I will go to the library and study more.

Oh, so done.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
