10 Signs You're A Kent State Student
Construction Support Solutions

1. Seeing a black squirrel is an everyday normal occurrence for you.

Kent has been populated with black squirrels for over fifty years. They are everywhere, and they are not afraid to come right up to you.

2. All your friends are either fashion or nursing majors.

Kent State is nationally rank and very popular for fashion as well as nursing. You have at least one friend of each.

3. May 4th has meaning to you.

The shooting of May 4th is a touchy subject for you, but you are proud the memorial on campus has recently been named a national historic landmark.

4. You know people from all over the world.

Kent state is crazy diverse. You know people from every continent. Odds are, the kid sitting next to you in stats doesn't even speak english.

5. You are constantly dealing with construction.


Kent is always modernizing and updating. For you, that means waking up an extra 15 mins early to take the longer route to class. The construction never stops.

6. You've ordered cookies at 2 am.


There's nothing better than fresh delivered insomnia cookies. Trust me.

7. You've stood in line for a half hour just for some chicken fingers.

Going to Rosie’s with a group of friends always sounds like a good idea until you walk in and see the line to order wrapped three times around the lobby.

8. You steer clear of Risman Plaza on your way to class just to dodge protestors.

No matter whats going on, theres always something to protest about. There's always flyers being tossed around. You’d rather just mind your own business.

9. You've never seen a snow day in your life.

Nothing is worse than waking up on a snowy day to a Flash Alert letting you know that every branch campus is closed due to snow. Main campus never shuts down.

10. The wind tunnel has nearly blown you away. (more than once)

You've invested in a windbreaker and marched through the plaza praying not to get swooped away.

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.

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.
