5 Question I Have For Lindenwood University
Wikipedia

If you don't already know I am a junior at Lindenwood University. Yes, this is my third year at this university and man have I seen some things. Now I am not saying this is a bad school. There are just a few questions I have for this illustrious university.

1. Are we really diverse, or do you all just say that to look nice on paper?


Yes my school is a melting pot, but the school is filled with international students. When you hear terms like multicultural and diverse, just know their not talking about black students. According to college factual Caucasian students make up 52.9 % of the student population. Then 78.4 % of the faculty.

2. When are we going to have a real fried chicken place by campus?

Lindenwood has so many food places near the school, but no real chicken. Yea there's Canes, but they only serve chicken strips. You have to get on the highway and drive ten minutes to go to Popeye's. As far as walking distance, there is no place that serves good gizzards, biscuits that make your throat dry, or that finger licking chicken that makes you want to slap your momma.

3. Did you all really think those dining dollars were enough?

Dining dollars are extra money for the students. the students can use them at the convenient store, Starbucks, or if you want extra food outside the meal plan. Dining dollars lasted long last year because we didn't have all the extra stores. This year we have Starbucks, a new cafe in Harmon, and sky rocket prices at the convenient store. I have 43 dollars left, and its the first week of October!

4. So are we just going to ignore the fact that there are wild geese on campus every year?

Every year when it starts to warm up these random geese come on campus and get very territorial. The geese act like they paid $23,000 to go to this school. There are literally videos of students being chased by these geese.

5. Does attendance really matter?

Last year I had a teacher that gave me a 79.9 because she didn't like that I was late to her 8 am almost every day. That is a prime example of teacher abuse. I feel like if I did the work, than why does attendance matter. If I'm making good grades and turning in all the assignments on time, than why does attendance need to be a factor.

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.
