6 Near Death Experiences You've had at SJU

If you go to SJU, you've probably had few near death experiences either by the hands of the shuttle, or crossing the street on City Ave. Here are 6 near death experiences you've likely had on St. Joe's campus.

1. Crossing the Street on City Ave or N. 54th

Drivers on City Ave don't stop for anyone, even when the light is about to turn red. It's even worse crossing on North 54th where there's no light. May the odds be ever in your favor.

2. Almost getting hit by the shuttle at the Mandeville stop

If you've walked across the mandeville lot when the shuttle comes through, you've definitely had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit by the shuttle

3. Walking to the 4th floor science center after leg day

The trek to the 4th floor science center is hard enough on a normal day. The day after leg day though? Just dig my grave now.

4. Getting Lost in Barbelin

Getting lost in Barbelin happens even if you're a senior. Make one wrong turn on your way to class and it's all over. Will you ever see the daylight again? Who knows.

5. Riding in Pub Safe/the Shuttle

Apparently one of the requirements to be a public safety/shuttle driver is being super aggressive and ignoring all traffic signs.

6. Waiting for the Shuttle in the Freezing Cold

When the shuttle is late and you're waiting outside in the freezing cold. How many fingers do you have to lose to hypothermia before you can file a lawsuit

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
