SMU Named Ugliest University In America

Who would want to go a school that is filled with opportunities?

Imagine going to a school where there is nowhere decent to take a selfie, no time to stop and smell the roses, or you literally don’t want to be there. This is the reputation of Southern Methodist University.

Recently, this school was named “The Ugliest and Most Unsuccessful Private University” and it's completely understandable why.

Students and alumni come from all over the country for these things call “Boulevarding.” Why would anyone want to spend hours outside just to get hyped up for a football game? From what I’ve seen, it doesn’t even look that entertaining.

SMU fans have no spirit at all. The basketball team won the American Athletic Conference last year and this is what the fans do in return? The basketball team won 18 games in a row this year with no fan support at all.

Who cares if former President George Bush has a library on the campus, teaches classes every now and then, and went to almost all of the basketball games. (I have no clue what Laura Bush is doing in this photo.)

If you walk around campus, there is no building or walkway to take a photo of to plaster all over social media. Even the rainy and gloomy weather agrees that SMU is not pretty in any way.

Also, why would any fun and awesome college student want to live in Dallas? I can’t tell you any fun things to do. Who would want to see the Dallas skyline, which was named the best skyline in America, every day and have the best career opportunities?

Just look at these students. Who cares if they have plans to become a physical therapist, broadcast journalist, or a human rights activist? They honestly have no chance at success, especially the girl in the sloth shirt.

They are constantly building new dorm rooms and buildings for students to learn in. This will only influence more students to choose SMU over TCU. Also, does SMU really need four different Starbucks in walking distance?

I really hope that these key points explain why Southern Methodist University is the worst school to attend. Who would want to join a private university that costs more than their car, where former presidents just hang around all the time and each student has high hopes? Apparently, the SMU founders have been doing something wrong for the past 100 years.

Have a happy late April Fool's Day! SMU was actually named Huffington Post “Most Beautiful Campus in America” and it is the best university that there is. Pony up, y’all!

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.
