50 Questions I Have For Kent State
Francesca-Manilla

Oh, good old KSU. It's been a wild ride these past four years, and I have loved every second of it. Now that I am on my way out, however, I do have some burning questions that I've had since freshman year that simply need to answered.


1. Why did you build a college campus on literally the only part of Ohio that isn't flat?

2. Why do all the food options in the hub suck?

3. Why do teachers who receive terrible evaluations still work here?

4. Why is PARTA the reason I have trust issues?

5. Why is the WiFi a joke?

6. Why doesn't Verder hall have air conditioning?

7. Why do mint Oreos cost $6 at Rosie's market?

Six. F**king. Dollars. I'm bitter.

8. Why aren't there enough outlets in public seating areas?

9. Why do we have to pay $250 for a book that isn't even bound?

16. Why is one of the qualifications for working for Parking Services being an asshole?

17. Why don't any of the cafes in any of the buildings take the meal plan?

18. Why is scheduling for classes the closest thing Ohio will ever see to an IRL "Hunger Games?"

19. Why is Bev Warren the cutest thing I've ever seen?

Seriously, though, love her.

20. Why does it always rain on Kent holidays?

Flashfest, Homecoming, Fake Patty's Day....

21. Why don't we have real doctors in the health center?

22. Why can't we use meal plan at certain times?

23. Why the hell would you start road construction during the middle of the semester?

24. When will we have a semester when a new building isn't going up?

25. Why can't I wear a dress or skirt without fear of a vicious wind attack?

26. With all the construction, why don't we build something to fix the wind tunnel?

27. Where are the hotties at!? Like, come on!

(Probably at the rec... Where I should go more often... Oops.)

28. Why do professors use books they've authored as required texts?

29. Why doesn't the Starbucks in the library take meal plans?

31. Why haven't we made the black squirrel our official mascot?

32. Speaking of, what is exactly is a golden flash?

33. Why would we buy a parking pass when none of the lots are reasonably near any buildings?

Unless you have a C-all pass you're screwed.

34. Why did you spend money making the inside of the elevators gold?

35. Why do none of the advisers actually know what they're doing?

36. Why do I know more about what I need and what needs to be done than them?

37. Why must we get alerted when every branch campus has classes canceled?

38. Do you like rubbing it in our faces!?

39. Why are the McGilvery bathrooms the creepiest places I have ever experienced?

40. Why is the male to female ratio so out of whack?

41. Pepsi products. Just, why.

42. Why are the meters $1.50 for an hour?

43. Why must the Kent Market 2 close so early?

44. What are the people who live in Engleman supposed to do about the ghost?

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.

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.
