10 Signs You Live In The Sophomore Slums

At the University of Rhode Island, there are many residence halls, with their own unique names and own unique stories. But then there are a select few that all fall under one name known as, The Sophomore Slums.

If you are fortunate enough to land in the slums these are a few signs that will give off that you are one of the "lucky" ones.

1. You don't know what it feels like to have the luxury of an elevator to get you to the 4th floor or any floor of your building.

Yes you are probably sweating all the way up to your room, but hey at least you're burning some calories!

2. That one wall that you thought was actually a wall is really just plywood and you can basically hear your neighbor sneezing as if they were sneezing right next to you.

But at least you can be polite and say, "Bless you."

3. If you have the balcony room, that was only so nice in September and maybe the beginning of October.

Now it's just a constant wind tunnel coming through at unnecessary times.

4. You need your ID to get into not only your room, but also your bathroom.

5. You've locked yourself out of at least one of those two too many times than you'd like to admit.

6. You've walked passed Eddy Hall and just wanted to tear it down because you were only so many credits below to have requested to live there.

7. Your room is either way too hot or just below freezing no median what so ever cause you can't control it.

8. Your whole building smells like a "skunk" walked through it.

9. Even though Anna Fasatelli practically stares at you from your window you will probably only step foot in their once.

10. You've asked your friends in Eddy if there was any openings for a room change request cause you know damn well you deserve better.


So there you have it folks. You may have identified with only one of these or you may have identified with all of these. But at the end of the day like Bruce says...

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.
