25 Thoughts You Have While Living In Mountainview
Quinnipiac University

Living in Mountainview as a freshman definitely has its benefits, but, unfortunately, it also has detriments too. It is the nicest freshmen dorm building, however, it is the furthest building from virtually any classroom or dining hall. Without further adieu, here are some thoughts that multiple Mountainview residents have expressed over the course of this year regarding their home away from home.

1. I am so far from my classes... No freshman 15 for me



2. I have to wake up 20 minutes earlier than everyone else


3. Why is it so cold outside when I have to walk for fifteen minutes to get to my classes?



4. If I call public safety, what are the odds they will give me a ride to class?



5. Can I hijack one of those golf carts?


6. Why is the cafeteria so far?



7. I'm at the rat...I'm only halfway there...



8. Okay, I am going to eat at the Rat tonight... not because the food is better, but because I don't feel like walking all the way to the cafeteria


9. Scratch that... there's no way I'm walking to the rat either... Droogies it is


10. I love Hogan Road



11. How do I direct the delivery guy to Hogan Road?



12. Why is the gym so far?



13. I'm definitely counting my walk to and from the gym as part of my workout



14. Being one of the only freshmen dorms with co-ed floors has its perks...



15. Thank God my bathroom is connected to my room



16. I wish the cleaning ladies would clean our bathroom on Monday's instead of Friday's


17. God bless the cleaning ladies, though



18. Why are the laundry machines always full?


19. How do other freshmen live without all of this extra space?



20. What would I do without our common room?


21. What would I do without the extra common room outside of our common room?



22. Why is the cell service so bad in this building?



23. I wonder how many people have slept on our couch



24. Walking to and from the shuttle to Toad's in the winter is a struggle



25. I am blessed to live in such a beautiful building

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
