As the fall semester approaches, Pitt students happily await the moment that they can look up at Cathy in all her glory. With only a few weeks to go, we are reminded of the good, the bad, and the ugly that campus has to offer. To make this the best year possible, I've created a wish list that all Pitt students are hoping the year will bring. Cathy, please grant our wishes.
1. A win against Penn State.
We've all been biting our nails waiting for September 10th, 2016. Don't let us down, Pitt Panthers.
2. Working soft serve at Market.
I'm pretty sure the Market workers take away soft serve just to spite us. I mean, it's basically the only thing in there worth swiping for.
3. Less expensive textbooks.
I can't wait to sell this $200 book back to the University Store for $.20. :-)
4. A shorter walk/ride to upper campus.
I didn't ask for this.
5. A table at Hillman during finals week...
It's easy to forget how many students go to Pitt, until midterms/finals arrive and all 34,000 students are packed into one library.
6. Or at least an outlet..
If you're lucky enough to find a spot and your computer dies, good luck. There are about ten charging spots in all of Hillman and Cathy combined. Help us out.
7. No more group projects...
Those awkward meetings on the first floor of Cathy with 4 strangers from lecture can only lead to disappointment.
8. Larger closets.
Whether you're in a dorm or an apartment, you know there is no such thing as a "big enough" closet. Where are we supposed to keep all of the free t-shirts?
9. Better Fall Fest and Bigelow Bash concerts.
We pay a lot to go here. Can't we at least get Beyonce or something?
10. A table at Market Thanksgiving.
Look, I'll sit on the floor if I have to. Please don't let it come to that, though.
11. Lower tuition.
12. Less work, more play.
Ya know... what is South O for? Not homework.
13. Daily therapy dogs.
College seriously deprives us of dog time, and one day a week is not enough. <3
14. Restaurant dining dollar acceptance.
15. Better weather in Pittsburgh.
Snow, rain, and clouds constantly make up Pittsburgh's forecast. I'm ready for some sunshine16. Finished construction on Cathy elevators.
17. Cancelled classes...
18. A longer winter break.
2 weeks is about half of the normal winter break period. With all of our hard work, can't we at least get a break?
So, we embark on a new year full of highs and lows. If some of these wishes came true, this would be a year of only highs. So please, Pitt, treat us all to a year of better food, less exercise, and more fun. Thanks. #H2P
To Those Who Feel The Need To Tear Down Others, Take A Seat
You have no right to hurt others because you don’t agree with them.
I recently wrote a super controversial article, which I'm honestly very proud of. In the comment section, there were plenty of people criticizing me because of what I believe in, mainly because they didn't believe in the same thing as I put out there.
I would just like everyone to know that the people that write for this amazing company are just that — people. They are real, they have opinions, and they have feelings. There is nothing different about them than you. Would you like someone commenting hate on your Facebook post or anything like that? No, no you wouldn't. When you comment rude things on something that someone worked long and hard on, you are just being rude and inconsiderate of their feelings.
If you just go to the comments to leave a rude comment, you can write it down on a piece of paper and throw it away. You're being a bully. These writers more than likely will go to the comment section, just like I did, and will be hurt by your arrogant, inappropriate comments.
Ever heard of if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
If you don't agree with me that's fine, but that doesn't give you the right to deliberately go and try and tear me or anyone else down. You're just being rude and you have no reason to be, all I did was write an article on something I believe in.
Also, don't let anyone rude enough to do this tear you down or diminish your self-worth. There are people out there who are still kind and caring, don't listen to the negativity this world brings. Just keep doing what makes you happy, because in the end, that's all that really matters.
