11 Questions I Frequently Ask Myself as a ULM Student

1. Will Stubbs 100 ever stay at a constant temperature?

If you've ever had a class in Stubbs 100, you know exactly how drastic the temperature changes can be. You go in and sit down for class on Monday and it's -14 degrees. You come back on Wednesday with a hoodie prepared for the harsh climate of Antarctica only to find it's now 700 degrees and you're drenched in sweat within minutes. You just can't win.

2. Why can't fried chicken Wednesday be every day?

Every ULM student knows what Wednesday means. Fried chicken and macaroni is served for lunch at Schulze, which brings in faculty, residents, commuters, and probably people who don't even go to ULM because it's just THAT GOOD.

3. Will people ever learn how to drive?

Okay people. This requires no explanation. Learn to drive for the sake of the rest of us.

4. Will the sprinklers ever actually water the grass and not the sidewalks?

I cannot count the number of times that I have had to walk completely out of the way to get to my destination because the sprinklers were spraying the sidewalk instead of the grass. ULM's water bill must be outrageous. Will this problem ever be solved? Who knows.

5. When and where will there be free food?

All college students can relate to this one. As a college student, we are broke and always hungry. If you offer free food, you can guarantee that I will be there.

6. Will I snag a parking spot or have to walk 10 miles to my destination?

Let's face it. Parking on campus sucks. We have over 9000 students that go to college at ULM which calls for a lot of parking that we don't have. The only way I've learned to get a good parking spot is to claim it at 8am or either get extremely lucky and catch someone pulling out of their spot. Also, parking for home football games is horrendous. If you leave campus on that day, be prepared to park on top of someone else because everything will be full.

7. Will the line at Subway be short today or will I have to eat Chick-Fil-A for the 17th time this week?

If you're ever in the SUB around lunch time then you've witnessed the long lines that can develop at Loco Rico, Einstein's, and Grille Works. Subway will have at least 20 people waiting but you have class in 20 minutes so you're forced to either grab Chick-Fil-A or risk being late to class to enjoy your sandwich.

8. Is it even possible to go a full semester without getting a parking ticket?

Most students are guilty of parking somewhere they're not supposed to, even if it is just 5 minutes to run into a building. The parking ticket people have eyes in the back of their heads and a sixth sense that allows them to know immediately when you're parked wrong. No one can get away with it. True story.

9. Will Sandel Hall ever be finished?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm more than ready for Sandel Hall to be finished. It has been interesting watching the building develop, and I can't wait for classes and offices to move from the library and Garrett Hall (which barely has a functional air conditioner) into the newly built hall.

10. Will I ever be able to climb up the library stairs without being out of breath?

Even the mightiest of athletes are out of breath after walking up the stairs in the library. The climb to the third floor may look like not much of a journey but when you make it to the top you'll need at least 60 seconds to catch your breath.

11. Will I end up transferring somewhere else?

ULM is the perfect place to be.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
