44 Questions I Have For Drew University
Wikipedia

As 2017 goes into full swing, I’m immediately reminded that this will be my last semester in college. In the midst of ordering new books, sorting through student loans, and frantically searching for internships, I’ve been contemplating my last four years at Drew University. Here’s a list of some questions I gathered for Drew administrators, faculty, and students to ponder:

  1. Why do you have fire drills at the worst times?
  2. Why do the vegetables always taste like wet cardboard?
  3. Have you ever heard of decent spices or seasonings?
  4. Why do you always sell unripe bananas at Peet’s and the EC?
  5. Why did you switch to Peet’s anyway?
  6. Was that chill down my spine the lack of proper heating or a ghost breathing down my neck?
  7. Why did it take you two whole years to renovate Baldwin, but only half a semester to fix the roof of the DoYo?
  8. How disgusting are the suites after a whole night of partying?
  9. Why do we only have two classrooms for the entire psychology department?
  10. What was the point of getting rid of the Madison Avenue shuttle?
  11. Would it kill you to install some security cameras in the dorms?
  12. Out of the infinite names there are for collegiate teams, why do we have to be the Rangers?
  13. Why does Public Safety flip out when someone screams in the middle of the night and then turn a blind eye to sexual assault?
  14. How do you sleep at night when you charge $5 for water?
  15. Can Asbury upgrade to central heating like every other dorm on campus?
  16. Why did you build the campus on a hill?
  17. And why do you have freshman dorms at the very top?
  18. Why does the C-Store only open after 6?
  19. Going back to dining, why do we only have meal exchange at certain times of the day?
  20. Why do we have Meal Exchange on only certain foods? Shouldn't we have it on everything?
  21. Why didn't we celebrate Black History Month even though 9.8% of students identify as black?
  22. Why does Brown 3rd and every room in Asbury feel like the 4th layer of hell?
  23. Do you actually pay attention to sexual assault cases on campus or do you just devote your time and energy to confiscating marijuana and alcohol?
  24. Why do you have registration cut offs based on the number of credits?
  25. Why do the showers in Hoyt and Tolley/Brown look like little space pods?
  26. Are they even cleaned?
  27. Why the heck does it take Facilities over an hour to reach my dorm if it’s only 20 feet away?
  28. Can we think of a better mascot than a bear?
  29. Why is the campus completely deserted on weekends?
  30. Why do we close the dorm side entrances after 9 PM?
  31. Speaking of dining, can we get better service than Aramark?
  32. If the EC can have a compost bin, then why not Peet’s or the Commons?
  33. Why is the Health Center closed at the most inconvenient times?
  34. Do I just put my illness on hold until you open up again?
  35. Or magically fix my broken leg?
  36. Why can’t we get an actual pharmacy on campus?
  37. Where are the classes on important life skills, like Cooking 101 or Financial Management 401-K?
  38. Why did it take you so long to address the leaky steam vents near Brother’s College?
  39. And why haven’t you noticed that Hoyt Lawn has those too?
  40. Exactly why is 6 in the morning a good time to use leaf blowers?
  41. What do you use the side rooms in the Commons for?
  42. What happened to the tree sculptures two years ago?
  43. Why did we only have one night of UPB Bingo last semester??
  44. Why are the chicken nuggets so good?

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.

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.
