UD's hidden gems.

The Strange World Of UD
UDEL

Have you ever heard of the mystical place of the University of Delaware? If you have, you know that this place holds many secrets and wonders. For those of you that have not, prepare to be exposed to some things you've never seen. I must warn you, these sights cause thousands of people to venture on to the campus just for a quick glimpse. Be wary and know what you're getting yourself into. Let's begin!

1. The Massive Feeding Frenzy known as "NDB"

This luscious resource of bacon, egg, and cheeses pile people inside to wait a good half an hour for some food. Maybe you'll get a glimpse of the magical rainbow bagel. A must-have for Instagram photos.

2. The amazing trapeze slacking acrobats

If you're ever looking for a nice distraction on the green, these entertainers are always looking to make people block the brick walkways. If you're lucky, you may even get to see one fall!

3. The thunderous Kirkbride preacher

A plethora of unmotivated college students pass by every day to hear some words that are not quite helpful. Don't make eye contact, you might get into a screaming match.

4. The massive pilgrimage known as "the walk of shame"

If you watch closely the night after a party or mixer, you might behold an infamous sight. Look for that oversized sweatshirt and sweatpants or suits and dresses from that date party.

5. The climatic lightsaber battles on the green

This truly rare and fantastic sight is something to be noted. If you get the lucky chance to watch one, make sure to cheer them on... or boo.

6. Techno bus driver

Have you ever seen a grown man driving a van with neon lights and blasting techno music? Good... don't get inside... there's no candy.

7. The professional league of jaywalkers

These athletes are in peak physical form to cross the street when they're not supposed to. They can even sense when the cops are near. You might get a $70 fine, but what the heck.

8. The Jimmy John's cyclists

These daredevils will stop at nothing until the staple of many UD students stomachs are filled. Snow, rain, fog, day drinks, nothing will get in their way.

9. The great wall of grottos

Great, you're finally 21! Now you just have to wait in what seems like the world's longest line. Only the fittest will survive the long wait... or cut it.

10. The labyrinth known as "Rodney Dining hall"

Hundreds of freshman will spend hours in this maze trying to find something good to eat. One wrong turn and you might be lost and hungry.

11. The skate park located everywhere you want to walk

Whether it's a skateboard, long board or penny board, you must be on the lookout for nearby riders. They think this world is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Next time, maybe throw that nearby stick in their path.

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.
