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?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
