SUNY Oneonta, Oneonta State, Stoneonta, whatever you call it, there is one name we can all agree on - home.

Sorry about that, I just finished a cheesy romance novel seminar. Anyway, located in the Catskills, next to the famous Cooperstown, and home of the one and only Jimmy T's, Oneonta NY is the place to be. With over 6,000 people enrolled at the College at Oneonta, college students pretty much make up this small town's population. Second to only the black crows.

SUNY Oneonta has won awards for its level of diversity. We have students of all races, religions, sexual orientations, and more. However, being in a close-knit community such as ours, we all begin thinking alike.

I decided to compile a list of the numerous thoughts you are likely to hear a student say once driving onto Ravine Parkway.

1. It's chicken nugget day

2. I love Ed [from Wilsbach]

3. Bro, they just put out chicken tenders.

4. Today, I got woken up by garbage trucks

5. LOOK, A DEER!

6. So today I pet a dog

19. I want to go to Starbucks but it's all the way up the hill...

20. Oh it's snowing? Is class cancelled? Of course not

21. The wifi isn't working

22. I accidentally hit a deer with my car on the way back to campus

29. Hell, my liver isn't prepared for St. Oney's Day

31. Well my fever is 104, I've been throwing up all night, and I'm growing a third leg, but the Health Center is on the other side of campus so

32. I need Hots

33. Have you ever been to Undercover Eggplant?

34. Oh good, they're building a whole new building for the bookstore but can't fix our wifi

35. I really want this new sweatshirt at the Red Dragon Outfitters but is it really worth the $65, kidney transplant, 2 pints of blood, and the sacrifice of my first born child?

36. It's snowing? It was 71 degrees YESTERDAY

37. I want a tattoo...should I go to Golden Lotus or Oculo?

38. The things I would do for a MacDog right now

39. I needed a nap so I went to the third floor of the library

40. We can get text notifications for our laundry and yet you STILL leave your laundry in the dryer for 20 minutes?

43. Maybe instead of a new Welcome Center for our Welcome Center, we can build another parking lot

44. Look what I got out of the Hump Day Wagon...stickers!

45. There are NEVER any good condoms in the condom buckets, only Lifestyles. I'm trying to be safe, not get pregnant

46. Oh sweet, Blackboard is down again

47. We gotta be back by 11 so we don't have to go through the front door

48. I miss Country Night

49. THERE IS A PETTING ZOO IN THE QUAD

*takes a deep breath*

Are you having flashbacks? Reminiscing on memories? It's okay, I won't judge you if you start to cry. Oh, you're not crying? Don't tell me your eyes are just red from the second-hand high you get just from breathing in the air...

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
