The ABC's of Winthrop University

Eagle pride in 26 letters.

81
The ABC's of Winthrop University

A- All Student Announcements

Who actually reads these every day? *keeps scrolling*

B- Big Stuff

Do you really even go to Winthrop if you don't have a picture on Instagram of you posted up with our mascot?

C- Common Time

AKA rush hour on campus. Avoid Thomson, Scholar's, and any major crosswalks.


D- Diversity

You're exposed to everything at Winthrop. We definitely pride ourselves on our diversity.

E- Eagle Express

When you're craving a midnight snack but everything else is closed.

F- Fire, Fire

It's always lit at Burger Studio.

G- Greek Life

Alpha, beta, chi, delta ... No matter what you rush, find a family.

H- Homecoming

Tailgating, basketball, lots of events throughout the week... What could be better?

I- ICONIC

Speaking of homecoming... We haven't forgotten about that concert.

J- Joining every club at Convocation...

K- ...Knowing you can't handle all of that.

Oops.

L- Legion

Basically Narnia.

M- Midterms

Whyyyyyyyyyyy?

N- Nametags

It's a rite of passage here. Once you get one, you get some street cred. But they're also pretty addicting.

O- Orientation Leaders

They're basically your first BFF at Winthrop.

P- Preview Days

AKA - you KNOW Thomson is gonna be on point!!

Q- Quiet Hours

Everyone's favorite part of community living.

R- Resident Assistant

They're your parents away from home. They support you at your lowest and humble you up at your highest. They're always there to listen to you and give you good advice. But sometimes they're just embarrassingly crazy.

S- Scholar's Walk

Grab your Eno and your bae during spring and snuggle under the stars... But just make sure you avoid it during Common Time. (PS - Can you find the proposal brick?)

T- Tillman

That fourth floor haunted tour, though....

U- Using an alternate route to avoid running into certain people.

Why else do you think there are four different ways to get to DiG's? ...Okay, so maybe it's not for the same reason, but we'll go with it.

V- Very loud upstairs neighbors

I may or may not have broken an umbrella by beating on the ceiling, telling the people above me to keep it down.... Not sorry about it.

W- Winthrop Worms

Speaking of umbrellas, better keep it over you in the spring cause if not, you'll find little green worms everywhere.

X- Crosswalks

WAIT.

Y- Yelling at the cars that don't stop for you to cross

Hate to break it to you, but the whole "I dare you to hit me, I'll get free tuition" thing only applies if its a campus-operated vehicle.

Z- ZZzzzzzz

Better go to sleep at a decent time tonight. Don't you have class tomorrow?

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

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.
