The ABC's Of Worcester State

The good, the bad and the ugly.

35
The ABC's Of Worcester State

A through Z doesn't even cover it. Where to begin? There is nothing more I hate than when I hear people ask what Worcester State has to offer. I wish they knew even half of it.

A

Is for athletics. You can always see Worcester State's athletic teams putting in the hard work around campus and during game time. What I love the most is no matter who you are, you can fit in somewhere. You don't have to play a varsity sport; you could join an intramural team. There are so many to choose from! Most exciting is the new state-of-the-art Wellness Center opening up fall 2016.

B

Is for bingo nights, the most intense of all game nights . I will win eventually! It is a must to attend at least once a year.

C

Is for cookies. The POD cookies are addicting and extremely delicious. Enough said.

D

Is for Dowden Hall. Most freshman reside here. Even though there is no air conditioning and communal bathrooms, it is still one of the best experiences to live there your freshman year. I wish I did.

E

Is for education. We have some of the best teachers here on campus. They are always willing to help us out and go far beyond what is expected of them. Definitely do not hesitate to ask for extra help or go visit during office hours.

F

Is for Frank. If you have ever taken the shuttle or take it quite frequently, then you have most likely taken a ride with Frank. He's an awesome guy, but Frank sure does take you for a ride sometimes. It is always a fun time.

G

Is for Goddard lot, the parking lot we are thankful for but wish we had the space on campus.

H

Is for how well do I need to score on this test to get an A? How well do I need to score to pass? They are few and far between, but there are those teachers. Just like everywhere else, there are a few bad apples.

I

Is for inconvenient fire alarms. Enough said.

J

Is for just one more coffee. Especially in the morning, all coffee locations have lines sometimes out the door, and you have to make the important decision of waiting in line and being late or going without coffee altogether.

K

Is for "Krying." Picture the famous Kim K face when you read this. Tears will be shed, but you will have your amazing friends to help support you through everything throughout the whole year.

L

Is for late night lancers, which are always a fun time. Check them out to see what activity is planned and were and head on down.

M

Is for movie night. More often than not, you will gather with your friends in the common room or in your own room and watch movies all night long. What better way to put off homework and studying.

N

Is for napping. If you can't do it in your room, do it any were you can. No one will judge you.

O

Is for over the semester in a week. That's how long it takes to start hearing it around campus.

P

Is for pizza. The most trusted and edible food in the POD somedays.

Q

Is for quickly running to the mailroom when you receive a package notification. No matter what it is, it is like a mini Christmas.

R

Is for running late. It happens.

S

Is for Sheehan hall. Sheehan is sometimes arguably the best because it houses the cafeteria. On days when weather is bad, you don't have to worry about bundling up or getting soaked from the rain.

T

Is for the May St. building, one of the hottest places on the planet even during the winter. It is so close but so far away.

U

Is for "U" never thought it would be this much work. But it is worth the effort.

V

Is for how very important it is to remember your "one" card. It is the key to everything, so do not lose it under any circumstances.

W

Is for WOO-life. And WOO-state.

X

Is for "Xercise." Burn off some steam or go check out the new Wellness center.

Y

Is for you made the right choice by coming to Worcester State University.

Z

Is for Zzzzzz, the sweet sound of sleep.

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.
