30 Questions I Have For The University Of Tennessee

nashvillepublicradio.org

I have been at the University of Tennessee for almost six months now, and I will say that I am not an expert on all things UT, but I do have a few things I have become curious about in my time here...

1. Why is everything so spread out? Like, seriously?

2. Why does AMB smell so weird?

3. Why doesn't Starbucks do meal equivalency for breakfast?

4. Why is Salad Creations so expensive?

5. Why is there such limited parking? The 15-minute walk to my car is the WORST.

6. Why is the bookstore so stinkin' expensive? I know we are a SEC school, but we are also college students here.

7. Will the construction ever be done?

8. Can all of our classes be inclusive access? Textbooks are so expensive. Especially those access codes.

9. Speaking of access codes, why do we have to have one for everything? And why are they like $80?

10. Is it fun for professors to schedule everything at once? Especially the week before finals?

11. I mentioned construction earlier...is there any way we could construct another parking lot...maybe in front of dorms?

12. Speaking of parking...again. Why do I have to pay $300 for a parking pass when there is never a spot available?

13. Why is it that in the dorms it is either Satan's lair or Antarctica, temperature-wise?

14. Can I get money from how many bikes I have been hit by?

15. Why is class registration a small war?

16. Why are some classes only offered in the fall and some in the spring?

17. Why doesn't PCB have bathrooms?

18. Why is PCB always out of birthday cake ice cream?

19. Why is nothing open on the weekends?

20. Why can't our meal equivalency cover more?

21. Why is the POD Market so expensive?

22. Why isn't Rocky Top playing throughout campus?

23. Why do we have to pay for scantrons?

24. Did people actually die in Hess?

25. Where is the spirit in the Hill? The Hill is the worst. Especially at 8 a.m.

26. Why do professors take so long to upload their syllabi?

27. Why is blackboard so glitchy?

28. Why are A minuses a thing?

29. Can we all meet Peyton Manning?

30. Why have I become a crazed Vols fan since coming here?

In all seriousness, I love UT so much and wouldn't trade it for the world!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

With being a member of Greek life, you are going to come across people who HATE Greek life and who always want to say something negative towards it. If you're not a part of Greek life, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But maybe try and keep some of the not-so-nice comments to yourself.

The Relatable Date

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

1. "You pay for your friends."

2. "All you do is party."
