Living In A House Vs. Living In The Dorms

At some schools you get the pleasure of living in dorms all four years, but at mine you get to choose after two years what you want to do. You live in the dorms your freshman and sophomore year, if you don’t join a house, then magically junior year you get to branch out and live on your own. What a concept. I live in a house this year, not a duplex and not an apartment, a house. A big f*cking house.

Living in a house means you have more than one “roommate” so you better pick who you live with wisely


A house full of girls can be fun and all, but not when there is one bathroom between four to six people. That means one sink, one toilet, one shower, you get the picture.


A bunch of people however means a bunch of food! Awesome! Unless you live with awful people that don't know how to share then you're screwed. Sorry.


Then there is the preparation of food that you didn't have to do before. So remember those pots and pans you bought freshman year that you thought you would use but never did? Well now you need them. So you better get those out of storage.


Remember when you lived in the dorms and had a maid? I remember that too, so when the bathroom was gross there was someone to clean it, but not anymore! Have fun with that. Don't slip when you accidentally put to much cleaner on the floor.


Lastly, don't forget to have a blast because even though you have to basically take care of everything on your own now, you don't have to deal with living in a dorm. So throw a party and celebrate because the real world is only a few short years away.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
