So You're Coming To Trine University
Trine University

If you’re new to campus, here are some things that might be helpful in learning how things work around here.

1. Wearing your lanyard around your neck will tell everyone you are a freshman.


2. CCH pancakes on Fridays are not taken lightly; however, as much as it might seem like a good idea, please do not chug the syrup.

3. Engineers love abbreviations.

If someone tells you they are a ChemE, EE, DET or ME, smile and nod, then Google it later.

4. You can literally get something free on almost every day of the week.


Monday: Free movie

Tuesday: Free sliders

Wednesday: Free hot dogs

Thursday: Free wings

Friday: Free pancakes

5. Females exist.

Yes, we may be rare, but this does not give you free rein to stalk us.

6. Centennial is beneath Forman Hall.

You definitely want to ask someone how to get there because it will be your best friend during finals week.

7. Don’t drop your cup in the café.

Just don’t do it.

8. Depotle is an appropriate name for The Depot.


9. If you see a group of men wearing the same gym shorts and T-shirts, it’s the football team.


10. If they are wearing flannels and Timberlands, it’s the lacrosse team.


11. If you don’t want to get beat up, don’t confuse 9 and 10.


12. No, there aren’t real nuts at nut night.


13. Do not wear a T-shirt from a different school in our conference.


14. It is a small school, news travels fast, keep this in mind, act accordingly.


15. Everything is a Trine thing.

 


This should at least help you get through the first week here on campus. You’ll find your groove quick enough. So welcome to Trine, we’re happy to have you.

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.
