The University of Dayton is full of secrets and surprises. Even after being here for a full year I am still learning about things I didn't even know existed. You'll probably notice most of them are about food, bathrooms and campus ministry. Honestly, these are the most important things to know about campus.

1. The fro-yo in Marycrest

You heard me right. Marycrest has fro-yo. Fro-yo. It alternates between two different flavors and is located in the breakfast nook. It is behind the waffle machine and next to the Cheerios. I seriously suggest checking it out.

2. The views from the 7th-floor bathrooms in the library

There are windows that look out over campus in both the guys and girls bathroom which provide you with some amazing views of campus. Also, these bathrooms are basically always empty which rocks.

3. The echo spot in front of the chapel

They tell you this on a lot of tours, but most people seem to forget it. If you stand in the middle of the brick circle thing in front of the chapel and start talking you will hear your voice echo. It's super cool and everyone always thinks it isn't true until they try it.

4. Nancy will memorize your name and know you for the rest of your time at UD.

Nancy is a bro. She literally will learn your name and remember fun facts about you. She has nicknamed my friend group the fro-yo queens.

5. They don't actually charge you for extra butter in the dining hall.

You know how it says when you grab an extra butter or jelly that it is going to cost you 75 cents? Well it doesn't. They never charge you. Get as much butter and jelly as you want.

6. The fancy bathrooms on the second floor of KU

On the second floor of KU the girl's bathroom by the ballroom is super fancy. It has couches, curtains and full body mirrors. I've been told that it is because when people get married here the bride needs a place to get ready. Whatever the case it's a pretty cool place.

7. Jen, the campus minister in Marycrest, always has candy in her office.

She has so much candy. So much. If you ever pop by her office, which is on the second floor of Marycrest across from the chapel, she'll give you a piece of candy. She is super nice and fun to talk to and loves when people come by to visit.

8. GA Joe's picture is in the Commitment to Community.

If you don't know who GA Joe is you are missing out on life. He is the grad assistant and campus minister in VWK. He also came to UD for his undergrad and is featured in the C2C alongside BT. You're welcome.

9. We get HBO go for free.

If you've ever wanted to watch "Game of Thrones," now's your time. Sign up and start watching today.

10. You can play the piano in the residence hall chapels whenever you want as long as no one is in there.

One of the worst parts about college is that you can't sing whenever you want to without people hearing you. Problem solved. You can go chill in your residence hall's chapel and jam out to your own music whenever you want.

11. Some of the bathrooms in St Joe's, Alumni and Fitz have special hand soap or lotion.

This is one of the most exciting things ever. You can literally walk into these bathrooms and find Bath & Body Works scented soap and lotion just chilling on the counter. It's a big upgrade from the boring soap in the communal bathrooms.

12. Marianist brothers actually live on Keifaber and Stonemill.

Crazy, I know. But there is actually a community of brothers that lives in these two houses. That's right. They see all.

13. RA's know which room set of the fire alarm.

They know who caused the fire alarm to go off. If it was you they WILL be checking your dorm room. You've been warned.

14. Only the PC prints double sided in the Honors printing room.

Pro tip right here. Since we have to provide our own paper now it is very cost effective to use the PC. The Mac only prints on one side of the page wasting your paper and your money. If you can, shoot for the PC.

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.
