We love Campbell. We really do. But by this point in the semester, a few things are starting to test our patience. If you’ve found yourself sighing at any of these lately, you’re not alone.
1. The Parking Hunt
You left early. You planned ahead. And somehow you’re still circling the lot for 15 minutes before a 9 a.m. class.
2. Wi-Fi That Disappears at the Worst Possible Moment
It works fine all day until you hit submit on an assignment at 11:58 p.m. Then it’s just you, the loading wheel, and a quiet prayer.
3. Rainy Day Walks Across Campus
Nothing humbles you quite like getting caught in a surprise downpour halfway between classes with no umbrella. Soggy sneakers for the rest of the day? Character building.
4. The 8 a.m. Class
Who decided this was a good idea? The coffee helps, but only a little.
5. Laundry Room Roulette
Every machine is full, someone left their clothes in the dryer for three hours, and the one open washer has a mystery sock in it.
6. The Group Project Group Chat
Twelve messages about when to meet, zero messages about who’s doing what. Somehow it all comes together the night before. Every time.
7. Midterm Brain
You’ve been studying so long that you walked into the wrong building, forgot your ID in your dorm, and called your professor “Mom.” It happens to the best of us.
Hang In There, Camels
The good news? Thanksgiving break is less than a month away, and we’re all in this together. Grab a coffee, find your people, and keep pushing.
