Dagers: Day ragers. Here's everything you need to know about surviving one at UD.

Alcohol: An abundance everywhere you turn during these days.

Beer: Thrown on you, poured on you; you can almost guarantee you come home drenched.

Choate Street: Flooded with hundreds of dagers hoping from party to party.

Darty: Please do not call it this, it is incorrect.

El Diablo: The place to be after a long day of daging; the line is usually a 30 minute wait but so, so worth it.

Frats: They rule the Saturday dage scene; you can be sure that your favorite frat will be having some party this day.

Game day: This is our version of a typical college game day.

Hangover: After you take that nap right when you get home after a long day, you wake up with the worst of this, and have a hard time rallying, but we usually do.

Ice Luge: When you hear a frat is having an ice luge at their dage, you put it at the top of your list. (Most girls just want to take pictures of them doing it)

Jean Skirts: If 50% of the girls aren't wearing jean skirts, then you are probably at the wrong school.

Keg: Don't even bother waiting in line, you will be there forever.

Lose: You lose everything; your shoe, your friends, your pride.

Main Street: The most crowded it will ever be during the week, as all the houses where these dages are take place here.

Natty: The only choice you have. If you don't like it BYOB.

One Dollar Slices: Probably the best deal on pizza that exists, and it exists right at the corner of Main Street at Papa Johns.

Pregame: The pump up activity with your friends to guarantee a great day of daging.

Quiet: In the quaint little town of Newark, DE, quiet is something it is not during dage season. Sorry families!

Roofs: So packed that sometimes the roof starts to cave in.

St. Pattys Day: Where you wake up at 9 am to start daging and go until 7 pm.

Tired: After, you feel as if you have been awake for 48 hours, but it was just the dage draining everything out of you.

UDage: Our nick name because we are the king of dages.

Vomiting: Don't be that person, please.

Weather: When its scorching hot out, you don't really have a choice but to wear as little as possible.

(E)Xcitment: Because it's the best freaking day of the week, duh!

Yelling: I KNOW THE COPS ARE HERE STOP SCREAMING AT ME TO LEAVE.

Zzzzz: Time to catch some z's in anticipation for next Saturday!

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.
