The Quinnipiac Housing Selection Process As Told By 'Parks And Rec'
CSTX Blog

There are so many things that I truly love about my school, however the housing selection process isn't one of them. This past year, Quinnipiac University had the largest class of freshman come into this wonderful community. However by being the largest class, the class of 2019 had a more stressful housing selection process than normal. The context below basically sums up all of our experiences...as told by the wonderful television show of "Parks and Rec."

1. You realize that you get to live with all of your friends next year...

2. So you start making your group early in the semester.

3. You fantasize about all the wonderful places that you might get to live in.

4. Yet, it's all fun and games until the lottery numbers come out.

5. Even better, the amount of people who can live in each suite changes last minute because the class size is too big.

6. So you're back to square one.

7. You think you have it all figured out until people change their minds at the last minute...

8. So again back to the drawing board.

9. You go on a bunch of meet ups and interviews to find new potential roommates.


10. Then the dreaded day comes of when to pick your housing.

11. You're about to click submit...

12. Until the system crashes...


13. So, of course, you wait around and contemplate your future.

14. And then the system restarts and the selection is back up and running.


15. If you're lucky enough, you'll get your first, second or even third choice.

16. But we all can't have nice things.


17. Even though you might not have gotten the suite of your dreams it could be worse...

18. Some students didn't even get housing.

19. But you know you will make the best out of your living situation.

20. You start talking with your future roomies about how you want to set up your new suite.

21. You start getting more and more excited for the following year.

21. All in all, everything will always work out.


22. Until you have to go through this wonderful process all over again the following year.

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.
