The ABCs of Wagner College
Clare McCaffrey

A to Z, Alpha to Omega or beginning to end; Wagner College has it all. ABCs are one of the first things we learn, so its fitting to use this to go through Wagner.

Each letter in the alphabet can represent a different aspect of the school we hold close to our hearts.

A: Attendance.

Since we had such a small school, people will notice if you're not in class. Professors will sometimes make comments and even ask your friends where you are.

B: Brunch.

If you wanna eat on the weekends, you have to make it to brunch. You'll probably see the one person you're avoiding but getting an omelette will make it worth it.

Honorable mention: Banned Tailgates.

C: Cockroaches.

Wagner students act like every bug they see is the first one. We have a little bug problem in Towers. Yes, we also had some beg bugs but the panic over that was justified.

D: Dillon Quinn.

Where would we be without our leader? Second term class president Dillon Quinn is a household name on campus.

E: Elevators.

Please let me know the last time they all have worked at the same time.

F: Faiza.

You will take fruit to fill your swipe and you'll do it because Faiza. She's a little mom figure at Starbucks just trying to make sure we get our moneys worth out of our swipe.

G: Guild.

Suite style living is nice but cleaning your own bathroom is not. Upperclassman get the advantage with, in my opinion, is the most home like of the dorm building.

H: Harborview.

Our freshmen building is home to about 500 of our newest Seahawks.

I: Illness.

I've never had a week where I haven't had a sick friend.

J: "Just friends".

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard this, I'd be able to pay this crazy tuition.

K: "Killed another bug."

Isn't Towers the best place to live?!

L: Lost in translation.

Much like teenage boys, Wagner has communication skills that need to be worked on.

M: Money.

Wagner steals all of ours. I don't wanna talk about it.

N: Neff.

Subsection of Wagner, but Neff is everyones favorite bouncer. He makes Thursday nights that much more fun.

O: Oval Days.

Basically the only joy we feel in April.

P: Politically Correct.

Due to our diverse campus, we all have to make sure not to offend.

Q: Questionable chicken.

Sometimes DHall is on point and other times we're left wondering whats on our plates.

R: Registar.

Its a right of passage to have an issue with this office. Registering for classes or trying to fill our study abroad paperwork, its going to be a hassle.

S: Seahawks.

Every great school has to have its beloved mascot.

T: Towers.

Do I even need to explain?

U: Union.

If you need to eat, you're headed to Union. It holds Study Abroad, SGA, CCP and all the crispy chicken we could want.

V: Venturing into Manhattan.

Wagner students take full advantage of the free transportation into the Big Apple.

W: Wag.

Located in Guild, the Wag is home to late night food with flexi or a swipe. I'm guilty of buying the largest ice cream size on those rough study nights.

X: X-Ray

Literally nothing to do with the Wag but come on, what else do you expect me to put for X?

Y: You're stranded.

Once again, the Wagner shuttle service has left you behind at the ferry terminal. Maybe even left you behind at Wagner because it got full and left.

Z: Zoo.

Because we act like animals wheneber we hear "free stuff". It's rare, but when it happens we go nuts.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
