Another Year, Another Semester

The beginning of January, a new year filled with optimism and hope...until Spring semester begins. It seems like nothing can hinder our spirits until that first day of classes finally comes. You get to deal with the never ending line for books (if they even have them, since the cool new trend these days is to NOT order any), anxiously awaiting for the bus that never comes, and then there is drop/add.

To me, it seems like so many universities forget about the thousands of first days of the semesters they have encountered. This is because, no matter what, like clockwork, there is always some glitch in their system and some mishap that sends students into a complete and utter melt down.

Besides having to deal with questionable people on campus there is also another unbearable species we have to deal with: DRIVERS. I would hope drivers know that when those super cool lights flash PEDESTRIAN it means PEDESTRIANS are allowed to cross. That also means you should STOP. Please don't give your attitude filled wave as to hurry those who have to walk. You are sitting comfortably in your seat with heat/AC so suck it up and wait.

Then there is a crowded gym, with hundreds of people who want to look "hot" for bikini season. Thank God their will power is as minimal as their weight loss, because within the next two weeks the gym will no longer be packed.

Besides these many irritations, hope everyone has a great first week of class!!

XOXO, A&E
