8 Things You'll Miss About UMD

Don't worry though, you'll be back to your all nighters in Mckeldin before you know it.

The semester is coming to an end, thankfully. That means no more group projects, no more papers, and no more exams. So, you're probably ready to bust a move out of College Park, but part of you can't help feeling like you're not ready to leave. Yeah, the class work is kind of overwhelming, but there are some things that you'll probably miss.

1. Pizza Kingdom

What better way to solidify a great night out than with buying a five dollar jumbo slice of pizza from Pizza Kingdom? There's nowhere else I'd rather be at 2 am than in line here... well my bed is a close runner-up.

2. UMD Alerts

You'll miss being woken up to a string of emails from UMPD that ping pong back and forth between saying "stay alert" and "all clear." If we're lucky, maybe they'll start catching the criminals instead of waiting for them to flee the immediate area. .

3. Eppley Smoothies

Do you even go to UMD if you haven't been to Eppley for the sole purpose of getting a smoothie? Now that I'm rarely on North Campus, these smoothies are a treat, but they will be missed. That's for sure.

4. Friends

I know it's just a few months, but how am I supposed to deal with not being able to see my closest friends for all of this time? It's a hard transition to go from seeing someone everyday to having to settle for sporadic facetime calls or day trips to see them. Don't even get me started on the friends that are graduating... that is a whole new level of sadness.

5. Class

Hear me out on this one... you know those classmates who became your homie solely for the purpose of surviving the class? Yeah, you'll miss them too. You'll probably find yourself just waving and saying hi on occassion once the semester ends, but at least you'll always have the memories of your shared hatred for Accounting. Also, you may find yourself missing the structure that classes provide you, so I wouldn't be surprised if you quickly start looking forward to the upcoming semester's classes.

6. The Gold Bus

The bus that goes nowhere, but everywhere. You'll miss all of those adventures that you had, when you were just trying to find a way home without having to walk.

7. Mckeldin

No more Club Mckeldin parties. Floor 2 won't be seeing your face for a little bit, and I know that makes you a little sad. It's not even really about studying anymore, it's more for the good time.

8. Stamp at noon

Lunchtime is Stamp's peak hours, and you'll definitely find yourself missing it. It's probably not the McNuggets that you'll miss, but more likely the opportunity to pop out. This is the place you go when you want to be seen, because apparently, no one schedules classes at noon, since everyone is here.

Don't worry though, soon you'll be back at the greatest university.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
