8 Truths about being a Junior at SHU

Ah, junior year. We are more than halfway there but we still have a little bit until graduation. It all went by too fast. But being a junior definitely feels different.


1. Finally living with your best friends.

After two years of horrible roommates, I can finally say I love mine. Its so nice not having to travel to another building just to see them.

2. Being called an upperclassman.

Its awesome yet terrifying that we are finally upperclassmen. I mean freshman year was only 2 years ago right?

3. Not having to eat on campus 24/7

4. Not having to worry about waiting for the shuttle.


The year has come that we don’t have to leave our cars parked at Pioneer Gardens or Oakwood. We don’t don’t have to worry about being ready an hour early for class just to catch the shuttle, we can now leave with 15 minutes to spear which is just enough time to stop at outtakes.

5. Missing the shuttles because parking sucks.

From time to time we do in fact miss the shuttles because the parking situation is just awful. No matter what time of day it is, you just can’t get lucky finding a spot.

6. Waiting to be 21 so you can finally go to Reds.

It is the year we have been waiting for since we step foot on Sacred Hearts campus 2 years ago. After seeing several snap chats and Instagram posts from the senior class last year it has made us that more excited to finally go. The countdown is on!

7. Not wanting to be a senior next year.


As much as we hate saying it, most of us are graduating next year. Whether we like it or not its gonna happen. We are dreading the day because after it we won’t be spending everyday with our college BFFs.

8. Cramming in all your classes so you can graduate on time.

Graduation maybe more than a year away but we have many classes to worry about before it gets here. Junior year is probably the most stressful yet considering we now have three semesters to squeeze in the rest of our required or core classes.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
