Dear Student Wifi

Why are you everything that you are?

Dear Student Wifi

Dear BCU Student Wifi,

Thou art a beslubbering, folly-fallen, flap dragon.

For if you were an actor you'd be Nic Cage. Because you rarely work, and when you do it's still shitty.

If you were a TV show, you'd be "Two Broke Girls" because you somehow suck more now than you did when I first saw you three years ago.

It's fitting that your icon looks like a tornado because you blow... a lot.

In the three years that I've known you, you've always been flaky but recently you've become utterly unreliable. You're like every Bond villain's plan: you start off fast and show great promise, but just end up being something that makes me shout to the screen, "Just fucking do it already!"

And it's one thing to not work, but it's another to give me hope and then obliterate that hope like you're a freaking jackhammer on concrete. So please, can you tell me why you will load the ad of a YouTube video but not the actual video? Or why you will load the title of an article but not the article? Or perhaps you can tell me why that blue bar will go shooting across the screen and then suddenly stop, less than an inch from completing the task? Seriously, why was the first 95% of that journey as easy as traveling is in every movie montage ever, but the last 5% is like you're taking the ring to Mordor?

I mean come on, what's the deal? Is it me?

Are you doing this because I connect to a different wifi network when I go home?

You gotta know that the other wifi network doesn't mean anything to me. Whenever I have to connect to it, I'm only thinking about you. Okay?

And I know I was kinda harsh earlier, but even when you're utterly dysfunctional I never leave you for the "guest" wifi. And I always encourage you to "try again" when you fail.

So is it really too much to ask for you to work? You've done it before.

There was that one time on August 23, 2014 and that other time on January 6, 2015. Whaddya say you try and recapture those glory days, huh?

Until then, I'll be over here reading like a goddamn pilgrim.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
