I Have A Problem!

This is my heartfelt confession.

I Have A Problem!
Verywell

Well, it's official. The test results have come back positive.

I

am

addicted to Yelp.

I'm not joking around here or trying to be funny. This is a serious problem! I am suffering.

You see, I've always enjoyed researching things. But this started to become a problem when, in conversations, if someone stated a fact that was dubious or asked a rhetorical question, instead of moving on and counting to speak like any normal, rational person, I would announce: "Wait. Let me Google it."

The thirst for knowledge has led me down a dangerous path, my friends, one which invites the fiery wrath of my mom and the annoyance of friends way too often.

But my condition continues to worsen.

It didn't take me long to graduate from wanting to Google anything and everything to trying to cure my horrible indecisiveness. Naturally, the first step was, if I was invited somewhere to eat, I would look up the place's menu and decide what I wanted beforehand. However, if I was unfamiliar with the restaurant, I had no idea how the food looked...

...so I started Yelping.

Initially, I Yelped just to see what these foods at places I was actually eating at looking like. But now I Yelp places I would never eat at, just to read the reviews and look at the pictures. I have never written a review, and I'll be damned if I ever do.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

Clearly, I'm a sick, sick, lady.

I Yelp daily, reading, reading, reading reviews, deciding what coffee shops near me look like the best places to study and then deciding that, on second thought, they're actually too far away, so I'll just stay in my room and Yelp something else.

I am a Yelp addict. This is my story.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

CIS Markets

We work our tails off to be the best, but sometimes the stress can just tear you apart. Here are some struggles faced by business majors that will sound all too familiar.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
