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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
