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

35 Questions I Have For The University Of Tennessee

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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
