Getting A Bad Housing Lottery Number, As Told By Chandler Bing

Recently at Fairfield University, members of the classes of 2017 and 2018 received their housing lottery numbers for next year. While many were happy with their number, others were left feeling frustrated with their fate from the housing lottery, myself included. To lighten the mood for all of us who were out of luck with the housing lottery, Chandler Bing from "Friends" can explain very well how we all felt during the process!

The idea of having a townhouse is so exciting! It is what we have all been looking forward to since our days of knocking and being asked, "Who do you know here?"

We won't even have to worry about getting a good number... it has to work out for us!

And then you begin to hear horror stories of people getting bad numbers, but remember that probably won't happen to you

And then the e-mail finally comes out with lottery numbers

And you're scrolling through to find your group's number

And you see... 179/192

Then you see everyone else who is ahead of you in the lottery

Oh, but then you get another e-mail that you can't go to Pick Night!

And all of your friends start to talk about how they got the worst number ever, when in reality, yours is worse

You and your roommates begin to imagine your life living in a cardboard box in the middle of the Townhouses

And that you'll never be able to see any of your other friends again

Now everyone's talking about the possible situations for next year

And then you remember there's nothing you can do about it because it's a random lottery

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.
