What It's Actually Like To Be A Buffalo State Student

After attending Buffalo State for three years, I have experienced so much. The things that I listed below are some things that I think almost every Buffalo State student can relate to. If you can't relate to at least one, then you probably live under a rock.

1. Dealing with crazy lines

Whether it's food or an event on campus you know that you are going to deal with a crazy line. Certain times of the day are horrible times to get food. For an event you have to show up about an hour prior, to avoid dealing with a chaotic line. Even though it can be annoying at times, you just deal with it.

2. Not having a place to stay

Due to the amount of students accepted into Buffalo State, you know there is a chance you won't live on campus. Especially to the class of 2018. So off-campus apartments or houses might be your place to stay. By the way, make sure you put yourself down for the wait list if you still want to live on campus.

3. Living on another campus

Just to feed off of not having a place to stay, you might live at another school's campus. One of those school campuses may be Medaille college.

4. Living in a triple dorm room as a freshman

As a freshman you have to live in a triple. That means that there will be three people living in one dorm room. There will be a bunk bed and one single bed. If you live on the top bunk you get your own desk and closet. If you live on the bottom bunk be prepared to share your desk with the person on the single.

5. Bengal Pause

Everyone that attends Buffalo State knows what goes on Tuesday and Thursdays between 12:00 pm and 1:30 p.m in the Union. If you don't then clearly you don't go there. That time would be a horrible time to walk through looking a mess. Just know you're going to see everyone. Bengal Pause is a perfect time to get involved on campus. It's a great time to find out about different clubs and organizations. It's also a great time to network and meet new people.

6. "Springfest"

The end of the year concert that everyone is so crazy about. The artists that our picked for "springfest" usually is the most talked about on campus. Regardless if you like the artists, you know it's still going to be lit. Most artists that we get tend to really blow up after performing at our school. Also if we like them, we bring them back a second time. I'm not saying any names but let's just say he's not a regular person.

7. Having a side hustle

Almost every person on Buffalo State campus has a little side hustle. They vary from doing hair, clothing lines, photography, student drivers, and etc. If a buffalo state student can't motivate you to hustle then I don't know what will.

So that's pretty much a random list of what goes on at Buffalo State. There are so many more things, but that's just a few. What did you relate to in the list?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
