Oh if there were an underground market at the bap... what wondrous joys would be found and sold.
1. B-Lot Stickers
(Shout out to all the commuters out there). Just the utterance of the phrase "B-Lot" makes our hearts suddenly skip a beat. If only a coveted "B-Lot" sticker could be our own.
2. Filled Punch-cards at the Perk
College students need our coffee/tea (I include tea for those of you who sadly, are not inclined to the coffee taste). Though I am an employee of the Perk and do not condone ANY false punches on punch-cards, I know the value these precious cards hold. I know the joys of receiving that free 10th drink.
3. A way out of the CAAP testing
If only we all had a "Mary-Kate" to our "Ashley" that we could summon to take this test for us. Unfortunately, this testing day is one of the most dreaded for students in Junior standing.
4. Chapel Exemption
There have been many chapels I have enjoyed and gained a lot of knowledge and insight on God's Word. However, here are also chapels which are no "chapels" at all. If only chapel exemption were a thing easily attained.
5. Chapel Credit
In response to the previous point, if chapel exemptions are no where to be found, attaining additional chapel credit is highly sought. (Get an "in" with Krista or HBirk, they got the hookup... and by hookup I mean they are the ones who handle chapel credits).
6. Meal Cards
(Again, shout out to my commuters). There are days whenpacking a meal is low-priority. When you are rushing out the door when you have woken up late, forgotten an assignment that is due in an hour, and you temporarily forgot what it means to match your socks. A meal card for the caf would be extremely helpful. Though the caf is no Chick Fil A, the sandwich line can make a mean pretzel bun- sandwich (yes, you read that correctly).
7. WiFi Routers
(Now here is a shout out to my resident friends). We all know the struggle of the Mobap WiFi at times. Those halls and rooms of North Hall that seemingly have a radioactive barrier that excludes the MBU WiFi from ever making an appearance. There are always those few nights when a paper is due in an hour and the WiFi is down so you make an escape to the closest restaurant/fast food joint that has WiFi to save the day.
8. Golf-cart On-Call
We all see the grounds workers taking joy rides on those golf-carts. Whether you live at North Hall or are a commuter, the idea of a golf-cart escort to class sounds quite appealing.
9. Insider Info on Textbooks
(WE JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THE TEXTBOOK IS MANDATORY)
There are those students who say you need the textbook when in reality it is used two times throughout the semester. There are also those professors who express the mandatory need of textbooks, when the textbook is only touched on once throughout the semester. If there were a way to know truthfully whether or not a textbook is needed, that information would be a golden ticket.
10. Answer Key for Health & Wellness Tests
Though I took this class years ago, I hear the cries of current Health and Wellness students yearning for good test grades. THOUGH THIS WOULD BE EXTREMELY WRONG AND WOULD BE CHEATING, in an alternate world where this is somehow okay, they would be sold by the dozens.
But, alas, most of these things are selfish and/or strictly unattainable.
So, Mobapians, we must continue to #shineon.
