10 Things Mansfield University Students Wish For

Sometimes being a Mountie is difficult.

10 Things Mansfield University Students Wish For

1. An easy walk to class without the hills and stairs.

I wonder what it's like walking through campus without losing your breath after five minutes. Thank god we have the Mountie Express.

2. More flex dollars for Jazzman's and Einsteins.

Sometimes $200 isn't enough when a cafe is located in your dorm building. Plus, the soup in Jazzman's is a personal winter favorite.

3. Little to no snow.

I could definitely live without the two feet of snow each week until the middle of March. And the wind chills. And the below zero weather.

4. The Mountie Express to never breakdown.

It seems like either the phone app is frozen or the bus has some sort of engine problem at least once a week, but Kevin ends up saving the day no matter what.

5. An escalator up to Cardiac Hill.

Imagine? Maybe while walking my legs won't give out half way up.

6. No parking tickets.

I don't have $15 in my bank account to begin with, how am I suppose to pay for a parking ticket?

7. Freshman not to park in the upperclassman parking lots.

Yes it's a pain, but we've all had to park up at T2 our first year. When you're an upperclassman you'll understand how annoying it is when you can't find a parking spot on the weekdays.

8. The Hungry Monkey to be open again.

QUESADILLAS!

9. More than two bars in town.

Mark's Brother's Tavern Lounge and Changos are the place to be for the older student body, but that's it, unless you go to Yorkholo on trivia night. With the town being so small, it's not uncommon seeing your professor throwing back at beer or two.

10. Better cell phone connection.

This is truly a hit or miss situation. Your either a student who has great LTE coverage, or you could be like me who can't send an iMessage until connected to WiFi.

All jokes aside, I love being a Mountie and attending the university. I couldn't imagine making memories, crying over papers and exams, and spending four years of my life anywhere else. #LoveMU

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
