10 Questions All Kent State Students Ask

Kent State has a lot of features unique to its students, as does any university. Every student who ends up coming here knows and loves random tidbits about the school that outsiders just would not understand. Yet, with all of the wonderful features that come along with going to Kent, there are many questions about the school that we students always ask and really do not have answers for:

1. What in the world is a golden flash really? And why isn’t the black squirrel our mascot? They’re everywhere. They are honestly the true mascot. You can always find one eating french fries out of a trash can.

2. We all have at one point (or many, many points) been frustrated by fellow drivers in Kent. Why are we adding roundabouts to further add to the frustration? Why? Tell me why. Please.

3. Will construction ever be over? I take it back that the black squirrel should be out mascot. Orange construction barrels should be.

4. Who built the area between the student center and the library to be such a massive wind tunnel? Almost every area on campus is fine, until you get right there and start fighting for your life against the wind.

5. Is 7:45am really the only time there is to offer a course essential to my graduation? Are you sure? But are you reeeeeally sure?

6. Why would you ever get rid of Jump from the Hub? That was just plain wrong. Cruelty.

7. Why do we never get snow days when it's 10 degrees out and the campus looks like Antarctica? Getting the notifications about the satellite campuses closing when we're still open burns my soul.

8. Why do we pay for printing? We already gave away our souls and free will to go to this school.

9. Why are my classes always a mile apart from each from other when I have to be at the second one in only fifteen minutes? (Seriously, this always happens to me.)

10. How does it always take eight million years to find parking spot? Even at 7:30am. How. How is this possible?

How many of these have you asked yourself?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
