ABCs Of Wright State
Wright State

With move-in day right around the corner I can't help but write about my favorite college. Here's an alphabet of the most basic things you need to know if you're a Wright State Raider!

WXY & Z... Now you know your ABC's, it's time to learn the Wright State ABC's.

A is for Allyn Hall
Home of the Hangar.

B is for Boonshoft
The reason why half the student body is at Wright State, our school of medicine. It's kind of a big deal.

B is also for B.A.R.T.
The big a**, big artsy red thing in the middle of campus that we all love to joke about.

C is for the C-store
Home of the $9 pack of Oreos, also the best place to blow leftover swipes for the week.

D is for debate
We can't wait to host the debate! Just kidding, we dropped out!

D is also for Dunbar
The best place on campus to stay up 'till 3 am, with Starbucks in hand, alongside hundreds of other students all cramming for exams.

E is for exercise
To combat the freshman 15 there is a rec center located in Honors and the Union!

F is for Fairborn
But it's just easier to say Wright State is in Dayton.

G is for the Guardian
The statue outside of Starbucks and our school newspaper!

H for Hopkins
The MAN at Wright State.

H is also for Hangar
Arguably the best place on campus to eat, Pizza Hut, The Den, and the weekend buffet.

I is for Intramural sports
Watching your friends play or playing yourself, it's a perfect study break.

J is for Jamba Juice
The only place on campus where a small drink is one whole swipe!

K is for Knowledge
All the knowledge you will gain during your time at Wright State.

L is for Lake Campus
Located in Celina, OH.

M is for Meal Swipes
$6.50 meals that are the main cause of the freshman 15.

N is for Nutter Center
The place to catch all the basketball games, guest speakers and concerts.

O is for One-Eyed Jacks
The closest bar to campus that is even sketchier than it's name.

P is for parking
I could write an entire article on this issue alone, @wrightstate don't sell more permits than you have parking spaces, I'm tired of parking at Meijer.

Q is for Quizlet
Saving history and anatomy students' grades all year long.

R is for resident assistant
S/O to my freshman year RA! You rock, Joy!

R is also for Rowdy!
Our mascot Rowdy the Raider!

S is for Starbucks
God bless this beautiful coffee shop in the library that fuels all study sessions.

T is for tuition
One of the lowest in the state. (Yet somehow I'm still broke..)

U is for underground tunnels
The biggest life savor on a rainy day. Now if only we could build tunnels to our dorms.

V is for Vinny's
Cousin Vinny's to be exact. The best/cheapest pizza place with like 20 locations surrounding Dayton. They also deliver for free and stay open 'til 3 a.m.

W is for the Wright Brothers.
For the name and the second logo of the Wright Brothers Flyer.

X can be for Xi
To represent greek life at Wright State.

Y is for Yik-Yak
Probably the greatest/funniest app to have on campus.

Z is for Zip Code
45324, home.

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.
