11 Struggles Every Student At Wells College Understands

Even though we love Wells, there's a few things that always make us cringe, just like at any other college.

1. Awkwardly having to explain to people that we don't actually have a mascot.

When someone asks what our mascot is if were the Express, and you have to explain that we don't have one, but we DO have these three lines which I'm sure has some meaning behind them.

2. Waiting in the HUGE line at the DHall on Buffalo Chicken Wrap day

There's barely ever a line for the dining hall, but on Buffalo Chicken Wrap days the line goes all the way out to "the esophagus."

3. EVERYTHING is on a hill.

Want to go to class? Hill. Go work out? Hill. Get your car from the parking lot? Hill. Watch a soccer game? Hill. There's always a hill. But on the bright side by the end of these four years you'll have some killer calves.

4. You're basically screwed if you get hungry late at night because there's nothing in Aurora.

Besides Dorie's and the Fargo there really isn't any other place that you can go to eat unless you want to drive into Ithaca or Auburn. But if you don't have a car on campus, you have no other choice but to eat your Easy Mac or Ramen for the 30th day in a row.

5. Unless you have Verizon, you have zero cell service on campus.

At least if you have an iPhone you can iMessage and FaceTime, but if you don't, then good luck.

6. Never being able to do your laundry because the washers are almost always broken.

Thanks, Mac Gray.

7. THE WIFI NEVER WORKS.

ResNet is NOT your friend, especially when you have homework due.

8. Having to walk all the way to Woods Lot to get your car as an underclassman.

It's just SO far away.

9. Not being able to make a sandwich to-go from the dining hall.

Sometimes you have to rush and grab a sandwich and head out to another class, but unfortunately that's not going to fly with the dining hall staff.

10. Having to pay for the crazy damages that people do in the residence halls.

Broken sinks, sinks being clogged by food, puke on furniture, ramen noodles being all over the floor, you name it.

11. People from other schools not understanding how AWESOME our traditions are.

Our traditions at Wells are so different from any other colleges. Oddline and Evenline, Junior Blast, Erotic Ball, and many more are what make our college so special.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
