20 Things I Observed While Sitting Outside My Dorm In A Hammock For An Hour

Personal photo

It's finally springtime, and my friends and I decided to sit outside on hammocks. I wanted to share a glimpse of my campus with you all, so here are just a few observations and pictures for proof.

1.) A cute couple, both of which are in marching band

2.) A lot of people wear Airpods and (actually use them)

3.) A dude had a rock in his shoe and dug it out

4.) One of my best friends almost fell out of her hammock... multiple times

5.) A jet that was zooming across the sky

6.) A crusty ass fork

7.) People are sitting on our red and blue ship chairs

8.) Someone was playing 80s pop music, specifically the song "Centerfold" by The J. Geils Band

9.) The Rocktowne bus riding around in circles

10.) People are finally playing frisbee

11.) One of my other best friends walking back from class

12.) Two blonde girls carrying big bags and glaring at us

13.) A dude dancing really well and then stopping when he saw us watching

14.) A guy carrying a hockey stick and a bag of groceries still opened the door for his ( I assume) girlfriend

15.) A girl running to her friend's car and then smacking into it

16.) A cute dog

17.) A dude in cargo shorts skateboarding

18.) Another jet zooming through the sky

19.) A car speeding through campus

20.) My friend throwing a beach ball at me when my hour was up

Personal photo

In conclusion, I realized 3 things: chivalry still exists, my friends are still great, and Ship is still one of my favorite places in the world to be.

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!

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.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
