The 10 Worst Things About Pacific University
Jake Gillingham

College can be a stressful time for everyone. Here are the 10 worst things about my college, Pacific University.

1. You have to take tests and finals.

Some people don't test well. When most of your classes depend on your test grade, it can be easy to fall behind.

2. Your best friends are from different states.

Some of your best friends are from all over the country. Breaks can become lonely.

3. The community showers.

Personally, I like a nice private shower where I am not required to wear shoes. These community showers smell awful and are dirty.

4. There are bears. Everywhere.

It is rare for me to not come across a bear on our campus on the day-to-day. One wrong move and you're dead.

5. The professors are literally werewolves.

That cold, dead stare in their eyes. It's no wonder classes are only scheduled during the day time.

6. Campus is in the middle of nowhere.

For those of you who don't know, our campus is in the middle of a desert. There is only sand for miles.

7. The annual running of the bulls.

Who knew that college would be this dangerous. If the bears weren't bad enough, once a year you have to watch out for the bulls.

8. The landsharks.

Most campuses have Campus Security. Here at Pacific University, we have landsharks keeping the peace.

9. They only serve gumbo.

Gumbo for breakfast. Gumbo for lunch. Gumbo for dinner. Even gumbo desserts. What the hell even is gumbo?

10. The aliens.

For those who aren't from around here, there is an "unexplained" noise in the Grove. It is definitely aliens.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
