5 Reasons Why Mimosa Is The Best Freshman Dorm

5 Reasons Why Mimosa Is The Best Freshman Dorm
Mapio

Mimosa Hall has been home to some of the best memories of my freshman year of college. Despite how awful the lack of air-conditioning has been, the fire-prone building has been my beloved home for the past eight months. Coming into the school year, I was nervous that living in one of the traditional dorms on campus. But as everyone in Mimosa has come to know, it is truly the best freshman dorm on campus.

1. You get roommates and suitemates.

You have four other people who you get to know pretty well, besides your roommate. That being said, you're either going to love them or get pretty sick of them real quick.

2. You have a lounge to hang out in when you get sick of your room.

Technically, you're not supposed to sleep in the lounge, but I know multiple people who have. Some nights, the RAs have free food if you sign into their programs, so why not go?

3. You get your own bathroom.

You might have to clean it yourself, but you can literally do whatever you want to your bathroom. You don't have to use the communal bathrooms and you know exactly who was using it.

4. You are in the middle of campus.

You can wake up 10 minutes before class and make it there in five with time to spare unless you're going to Victoria. But at that point, why would you want to go to class anyway?

5. There is a computer lab attached to the building.

There is always someone in there, so there is always someone to let you in the building when you inevitably forget your ID. You just need someone to open up the door near the ramp now.


If you are lucky enough to live in Mimosa Hall next year, cherish it. There are always going to be hard times wherever you live, but you will never have the accessibility that you would have living in Mimosa.

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.
