9 Essentials to Making it Love at First Shack

Supposedly love at first sight is something that actually happens to people. You see a potential significant other across from you at the bar, during a meeting, or in passing on the street and it hits you. An immediate sensation of love overwhelms your being, your knees cave and you realize this sensation is love at first sight. Although I've never personally experienced this phenomenon, (besides with Taylor Kitsch aka Tim Riggins) some people truly believe in its possibility. However, on college campuses this idea of love at first sight seems rather far off. After a Thursday night out, your hope for love is overwhelmed by a whiskey coke and the potential significant other who bought it for you. Forgetting your dreams of love at first sight, you realize that love at first shack may be the next best alternative.

The spontaneous shacking sleepover can start and end in many ways. However for love at first shack, to truly hit a home run it seems as though these things nine things must happen.

1. Eye Contact.

This is the beginning. You catch a look from across the bar or on the dance floor. You think this could be it; it could be love at first shack.

2. Chatting.

The continued eye contact has led to a conversation. Although the bar isn't the ideal location, you make due with only hearing every other word.

3. Drinks.

The chatting has continued and progressed into drink buying. Maybe you casually sip a few together, ice out a couple, or pour a round of shots. You've both acknowledged a mutual interest in one another.

4. Dancing.

Time to get your groove on. Bust out the moves. Obviously the drinks will have your confidence skyrocketing, so definitely break it down.

5. Food Time.

The best part of the evening. Pizza? Yes. Tacos? Yes. Both? Yes.

6. Shack Outfit.

It's bedtime and if you are forced to sleep in your "going out clothes", the hope for love at first shack is completely shattered. But if you manage to get a cozy shirt and shorts, you're golden.

7. Comfy Sleeping Spot.

The only spot that constitutes comfy is the bed. But if you to to sleep on the futon, there;s a chance your back won't be completely messed up in the morning.

8. Ride Home.

Nothing is worse than walking home after waking up in a bed that's not your own. If you're offered a ride, the feelings should start creeping in. Love at first shack is in the air.

9. Sober Text.

Nailed it! Love at first shack.

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.

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!
