25 Things We Thought Would Happen Before The Water Street Bridge Was Finished

Panoramio

Water Street: A place where dreams come true. (Okay, so maybe not). Water Street in Eau Claire is home to many local bars and shops in which UW-Eau Claire students frequent as well as EC residents. Over the past year it has been rather difficult to get down to Water Street because of the construction on the Water Street bridge. (Don't worry, the locals were still able to find a way there). During this week, great news has been revealed to many local residents and college students alike: the Water Street bridge will be opened by back up by the start of the new school year. Here are a few things we thought were going to happen before the re-opening of the Water Street bridge.

1. Drake Bell would finally have a kid and name it "Taco".

2. Tupac would be found alive living in the basement of The Pickle.

3. Light up sneakers would make a comeback.

4. The UW-Eau Claire mascot would be changed from a Blugold to a squirrel.

5. Hoverboards.

6. The UWEC Class of 2016 would be having kids graduating from high school.

7. Chancellor Jim would appear on "The Voice".

8. The Vikings finally win a Super Bowl.

9. The Cubs finally win the World Series.

10. People don't talk about Harambe anymore.

11. Zombie Apocalypse.

12. LeBron James retires as a member of the Flint Tropics.

13. Eminem starts his bluegrass music career.

14. We find Carmen Sandiego.

15. One Direction gets back together.

16. The ending of "Inception" has been figured out.

17. Time travel is a thing.

18. Netflix carries all of the Disney movies. (Yes, all those ones that you have on VHS).

19. TV10 wins an Emmy Award.

20. Ashton Kutcher stops appearing in TV shows as "the young stupid guy". (That 70's Show, Dude, Where's My Car?, The Ranch, etc. We get it).

21. Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is President.

22. Zoey and Chase from Zoey 101 get married.

23. Wonder balls come back for good.

24. New York City stops getting attacked by evil villains in movies. (I can't be the only one that notices it's always NYC being attacked, right?)

25. The Hill has a ski lift to use during the winter.

As you get ready to head back to school, just rejoice at the fact that the Water Street bridge will be back in action for you to cross to head to your house or favorite establishment. You feel so happy right now that you could dance, don't you? Go ahead and dance. The bridge is back and traffic can finally flow again...until there is more construction elsewhere next year.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
