The Perks of Living in Woodruff Hall at Emory

1. You don't need to walk across campus to get to the gym

There's an exercise room in the same building as you (and it's usually empty), so there's really no need to go all the way to the WoodPEC. And let's face it, you were definitely going to use that as an excuse to stay in and watch Netflix.

2. You don't need to walk across campus to get food

Although Woodruff food may not be as healthy or open as the DUC, it's still food. In the same building as you. Need I say more?

3. Your next-door-neighbor is a giant park

Which comes in pretty handy whether you're a runner or a stoner.

4. And your other neighbor is the much-frequented Student Health Center

You know, for every other week when you think you might have pneumonia.

5. A longer walk to class = more time to listen to music

Snooki agrees.

6. A lot of your friends probably live in Woodruff too

It's a giant residence hall, so you're bound to have some friends nearby. Unless you're that unlucky that all your friends live in Fevans. In that case, I'm sorry for your loss.

7. You no longer have to tiptoe down the hall in a towel if you want to shower

Because now you have a suite, so your chances of getting hypothermia in the winter are significantly decreased!!!

8. The rooms are actually not a bad size

THEY'RE REALLY NOT THAT BAD.

9. Woodruff has new furniture

Yes, the same furniture as Raoul Hall.

10. And it has a parking lot!!

Not that that affects the majority of us broke college students, but yay for those who have a car?

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
