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?

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
