33 Questions I Have For The University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire
University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire

I recently read an Odyssey article about questions this student had about her University and I thought that I did have many questions for the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. So here is a list of what I would like to know.

1. When or how did the gum tree thing start?

2. What's the story behind it?

3. Why is the hill so big?

4. Why is the cafeteria not open late on the weekends?

5. What is a Blugold and why couldn't they name it after a real animal or something?

6. Which dorm really is the best to live in?

7. Why is Hibbard Hall so hot all the time?

8. How come there is literally no seating in The Davies Center?

9. Why do I still have to pay for text books when there is a free rental system?

10. Why is there a piano in Davies?

11. Why don't we give more props to the track and field and cross country teams? They're doing pretty well.

12. How did we get to be the biggest band in the division three district? Not to mention the best.

13. Why is it so cold all the time?

14. Why are we the fifth coldest city in the US?

15. Why is campus so gorgeous?

16. Why aren't the sidewalks also heated?

17. What's in the caf brownies that make them so delicious?

18. Who is Simon and why is Mt. Simon named after him?

19. Did you really go to UWEC if you don't post a comment/picture/video of the past presidential candidates being on campus?

20. What's the best country to study abroad from?

21. Why are the guts in Erberts and Gerbert's the best part of their sandwiches?

22. Why is there always construction on campus?

23. Does the hill really ever get any better?

24. Why is Einstein's so good in the morning?

25. Do you really go to UWEC if you don't get bridge face?

26. Where's the best place to ponder? Putnam Rock, the Bridge, or the second floor of centennial in front of the big windows?

27. Why are there lottery parking passes?

28. Why is there never any parking anywhere, anytime of the day?

29. Are the summers really worth staying for?

30. Is there anything better than floating down the Chippewa River on a hot day before classes start?

31. Which coffee is better, Einstein's or The Cabin's?

32. Which floor of the Library is the best?

33. Why is University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire the best?

Hopefully someone can answer these for me or hopefully it gets you thinking about your University.

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.
