13 Things Callaway House Residents Know Too Well
The Callaway House Official Website

Most believe that the on-campus dorm life is a must, but here in Austin, that type of living is optional. Off-campus luxury dorms create a new definition of what the “college experience” actually is; as for the Callaway House, this bougie habitat takes it to a new level. Here are 13 things its residents know all too well:

1. Being late to class because the elevators took so long.

2. Losing your key fob daily...

or nightly...

3. The highlight of your weekend is the Sunday night dinner featuring chicken, cornbread, pasta and mac and cheese.

4. You feel more than uncomfortable when passing the security guards late at night.

5. When you check your email and see a message from “EZTrackit,” it’s like Christmas.

6. Your low-key crush on the people working the front desk. It's just a little crush...

7. You high-key hate the cafeteria hours.

8. One of your neighbor's rooms is always loud, or the other type of loud...

9. Sharing a study room with a stranger(s) and feeling so much tension, you could cut it with a knife.

10. You have almost died several times in the parking garage.

11. Knowing that everyone’s doors are unlocked, but respecting their boundaries anyway.

12. “Burnt things in a microwave” is your favorite hallway smell.

13. When you hang out at another friend’s dorm, you feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for where you live.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
