35 Questions I Have For The University Of Tennessee

No, why we like the color orange so much is not one of them.

My time spent at the University of Tennessee has honestly been three of the best years of my life. From the awesome classes to Saturdays spent in Neyland Stadium, UT has given me the greatest college experience I could ever ask for. But, after spending all this time on Rocky Top, I have a few questions I would like to know the answer to.

1. Why did all this construction have to start during my time spent at UT?

2. Speaking of construction, when will Cumberland Avenue be finished? Three months? Seven years? Does anyone really know?

3. Why wasn't Field of Greens included in the new Student Union?

4. Seriously, can we bring Field of Greens back? These poor freshmen will never get to experience the amazing wraps and salads.

5. Speaking of food, how is it that we find the nicest people in the world to work at our Chick-fil-A?

6. To Parking Services, why are you the way that you are? What did I ever do to you?

7. Why can't football season be year round?

8. Why is it that I'm a junior and I've never met Butch Jones?

9. When will it be my turn to meet Peyton Manning at Gus' Good Time Deli?

10. Can we actually have a good football season next year? Pretty please?

11. Why is Hodges Library always -23 degrees?

12. Does anyone else feel like HSS is basically a high school in the middle of campus?

13. What is that weird statue on Ped Walkway supposed to be anyways?

14. Why do people still walk on the seal even though it's bad luck? Are they purposely wanting to graduate late?

15. Why is tuition so expensive?

16. More importantly, is it true that I get free tuition if I get hit by a UT owned vehicle (asking for a friend)?

17. How many times am I allowed to change my major?

18. If it snows this semester, can there be a snowball fight in Neyland Stadium without getting into trouble with the police?

19. Why is Ayres Hall the most beautiful building I've ever seen in my entire life?

20. How many stairs do I take everyday when walking up the Hill?

21. Do professors get together and plan their tests for the same work on purpose?

22. Will I ever have enough orange in my closest?

23. Why does PCB have the best mashed potatoes I've ever eaten?

24. How much weight did I gain from eating at PCB everyday freshmen year?

25. Can I still come eat at Southern Kitchen once a week even after I graduate?

26. Is it okay that I'm emotional about all of the residence halls being torn down in Presidential Court?

27. Does anyone really ever use the Bubble?

28. Can you actually graduate without painting the Rock?

29. Will I ever stop hating Alabama and Lane Kiffin?

30. How do I never, ever get tired of hearing Rocky Top?

32. Why do people think Disney World is the happiest place on earth? It's obviously Neyland Stadium after a win.

33. Do I really have to graduate?

34. Why is UT the greatest college in the whole entire world?

35. Will I ever be able to love UT more than I do right now????????

I'm thankful, grateful, and blessed to be a student at UT. But if someone could answer these questions, I'd really appreciate it. GO VOLS.

14 Examples Of Twenty-Somethings #Adulting

#Adulting is hard.

University of Minnesota Twin Cities

Huffington Post

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

8 Things That Anyone Who Went To A Small School Knows

Sometimes bigger isn't always better.

Essex County, NJ

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
