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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
