5 Scariest Places In City College Of New York

Aaron Davis Hall is the theater building of CCNY that hosts the live performances of the actors on campus. Located on 135th Street and Convent Avenue, this venue is home to theater course work. Although the theater educates and comforts thespians, scary places lurk around every corner that will get you in the mood for the Halloween season. Here are the top five scariest rooms in Aaron Davis Hall:

5. The Green Room

This room is a small box located in a stairwell. When you first see the locked door, it seems OK, but when opened, it's a small boxed room. The design looks like the living quarters for someone who may hate socializing. Plus, the additional door in the wall leaves the mind to wonder: Who can come in?

4. Theater A

The space is big and spacious. However, when there are no performances, a ghost light sits up center stage to let staff see their way around. They named the lamp a ghost light because the view from the hallway will scare you even more: All you see from the side are shadows.

3. The Orchestra Pit/Trap Room

The name alone gives you the chills. This room, located under Theater A, holds all the costumes and props that the actors of City College need. When you go in, the air is dry. Dust and moths fill the air, and the hidden room in the back can access the Theater A stage because it's directly under it. All the clothes and props give off a "scary movie deranged serial killer" vibe.

2. The Lighting Floor


Scared of heights? This room will definitely add to your fear. Located over Theater B, lights and bolts are adjacent to the door. All you see are lights and a single door. Once the door is opened, the view gets more intense. All you see is red flooring (width fitting one person at a time) straight ahead. Looking down, you see the audience, the stage, and the lights that dangle above the space. The view reminds you of the cliché dying scene at a movie theater.

1. Theater B

Usually, Theater B opens with a set for a show going on for an intimate audience. Pre-show, all you see is a black space. The space is open, walls and seating camouflaged with the color black (easier to set up for any show). The open abyss leaves room for ghostly ghouls and pranksters to scare random people. The space looks like a walk through haunted house.

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.
