8 Realities Of Living In WMU

WMU is home to many freshman girls and there are many realities that they face every day; so if you've ever lived there at all, you'll probably understand these references to life in the WMU dorms.

1. Looking forward to a new stall street journal every week.


and being disappointed when they don't put one up for like, THREE WEEKS IN A ROW (because let's be honest, we all look forward to Rachel's puns and Trent's answers to the most random questions.


2. Anything and everything randomly breaking or falling down all the time.


you name it: toilets, washers, dryers, the dishwasher... it's a common occurrence.


3. The power outlets and the electricity seem to have a mind of their own as well.


you never know when the next power outage will strike, but it's usually at the most inconvenient time possible.


4. Leaving your door open so that your friends/hall mates can pop in whenever they please.


it's another distraction and another excuse to not do your homework because educating your friends about New Girl is SO much more important.


5. Satisfying your late night munchies by going to the vending machines and buying ALL of the junk food.


you'll regret it tomorrow but this is now and boy does a Twix bar sound pretty good right about now.


6. Coming back to WMU after 1 am when it's freezing or pouring rain outside and you remember you can't go in through the side doors.


we just want the quickest way to get in the door and back to the warmth and coziness of our rooms.


7. Forgetting about quiet hours are earlier Monday-Thursday than they are on the weekend.


I can't tell you the number of times I've yelled very loudly at the most ungodly hours of the night. Sorry to literally EVERYONE on my hall.


8. Anytime you see your RA, whether that be in the dorm, in class, in public, etc. you freak out because they're literally the coolest person alive.


I can name numerous occasions when this has happened. For example: my RA is a theatre major. She was a main character in a show. I may or may not have ran out and hugged her as soon as she finished the show.

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.
