What You See On Jayhawk Boulevard

Jayhawk Boulevard is a magical place, full of beautiful architecture, rich history and intriguing people. But sometimes, you find yourself watching things or in some cases avoiding things when you are strolling through. Here are a few things that you might experience when you get to Jayhawk Boulevard.

You might see...

1.Smokers out in front of buildings and therefore you may be forced to try and to avoid having the second-hand smoke come into contact with your eyes or breathing it into your lungs. But it’s a free country and people can smoke where they want, right?

2.People finding it hard to understand how the Underground works. Yes, it’s a mess and everyone knows it, but we just have to find a cohesive way to struggle together in a way that doesn’t cause a total clusterf*$#.

3.Preachers out in front of Wescoe, avoid them like your life depends on it. Trust me.

4.The perplexed faces of the freshman who are still trying to get a hang of this whole college thing.

5.People dodging the onset of busses, bicyclists and skateboarders. Sometimes they just come out of nowhere, man.

6.The struggle of walking up that God forsaken hill. It really is that bad.

7.Frat-packs emerging from Budig, then insist on walking in a straight line and never leave any room for other people on the sidewalk. Thanks, guys.

8.The overall confusion that is Wescoe. Seriously, that building is stressful.

9. The reactions of the people who have never been around the whistle before. It's loud and sometimes takes you by surprise.

10. Total Jayhawk pride.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
