10 Things Better Than A School's Wifi

Let the college students complaining begin!

I think we have all at one point complained about the wifi any school provides its students. So a couple of nights ago I asked my friends Taylor, Michael, and Jessie what they thought was better than our school's wifi and wrote them down. Obviously its an exaggeration. Enjoy!

1. Price on cafeteria food.

Do people really want to pay $8 for a salad? Not really. But we need to do something productive in our lives. Since the internet is practically nonexistent, eating your problems away is always a good substitute. You might be able to blog it at 3 am once the wifi decides to function.

2. Waiting to print at the library.

You know that bad decision you get every once in awhile that, yes you can print something five minutes before class without a hassle? Yeah, still better than waiting for the wifi to let you see your online textbook.

3. Burning your new pants in the things they call a dryer.

Man those were the best pants that you have ever worn in your life. Unfortunately, even on low, the dryer decided to burn you just like the wifi. At least you can get new pants. The wifi just laughs at you.

4. Dropping an ice cream cone on the sidewalk.

Let's face it. You are in college and broke. You will probably pick up what remains of the ice cream and continue to eat it. When the wifi doesn't work you just sit there. Staring at your screen. For an eternity.

5. 8 am. Everyday.

Because by the time that class ends, your email might be open.

6. Being attacked by squirrels.

No lie, the squirrels are everywhere at my school and are prone to try and take food right out of your hands. But hey, at least its quick. Unlike the wifi.

7. Looking for a parking spot for 40 minutes.

Just as frustrating and likely a cause of lost friendships, but again much quicker and less agonizing then trying to download a pdf.

8. Your phone falling in the toilet.

Because in the time it takes for you fish your phone out of the toilet, put it in that trusty bag of rice, and pray it turns on...an app might update.

9. Having your roommate kick you out for sexy times.

Because when your roommate kicks you out you might be able to find some friends to share in your woes. Actually no this is equally as frustrating, don't do this to a person.

10. Watching water boil.

Yeah it might be boring to the point you might actually read a real book, but maybe you might have some kind of philosophical vision and change the world. It could happen.

BONUS: Invading Russia in the winter.

Because even in both Napoleon and Hitler failed, by the time you fail too, your download will be ready for that homework that was due two weeks ago.

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.

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.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
