15 Things All Temple Students Miss About Campus During Summer Break

Sam Margolis

I didn't realize how much I missed being at Temple until I was home for barely a week when summer first started. I couldn't wait for classes to be over so I could finally catch a break, but now that I've been away from campus for over a month, I'm getting more and more excited to go back in the fall.

If you're also a Temple student, you probably miss most, if not all, of these things about being on campus:

1. Richie's

Truly a gift.

2. Chilling on Beury Beach

There's no better feeling than laying out on the grass, listening to music, and eating ice cream with friends outside Beury on a nice day when everyone's walking by and enjoying the weather.

3. The food trucks

The existence of the food trucks are vital to life on campus. Without them we are NOTHING.

4. Maxi's

Eating food from Maxi's at 1am on a weekday when you have a lot of homework to do really hits different. Also can I just say that their BBQ wings SLAP.

5. Bagel Hut

Picture this: it's 10:30am on a Tuesday and you have class at 11 but decide to stop at Bagel Hut on the way. The line isn't too long, so you decide to go ahead and order thinking it'll be ready in time.

It's 10:40 and you start sweating because your bagel still isn't done.

"Why is it taking so long?" You think to yourself as the clock strikes 10:45.

Finally, your order is called with five minutes to spare.

You only have a little bit of time to walk across campus to get to class, so you have to eat the bagel on the way instead of taking it back to your dorm like you originally planned.

Although you experienced a heightened sense of anxiety waiting for your bagel for over 15 minutes, you go back the next day and order another one.

This cycle repeats daily throughout the year, and the bagels are delicious every time.

6. Seeing your college friends everyday

Sam Margolis

It's weird not seeing the people I've been used to seeing everyday since August.

7. Your roommates

GOD I miss them so much it hurts.

8. Getting TU alerts every 5 seconds

There's nothing like waking up to yet another notification that the 7/11 on Broad has been robbed.

9. Getting texts from your parents immediately after they got the same TU alert

Yes dad, I'm fine.

10. Midnight 7/11 runs

Giphy

Rest in peace to my diamond dollars because this is where they were all spent.

11. Founder's Garden

The cutest and most chill part of campus. The perfect spot for doing homework or eating your Bagel Hut bagel.

12. Which Wich

My diet consisted strictly of Which Wich for the entirety of second semester.

13. Narnia

If you know, you know.

14. The parties

Giphy

I'm personally not a party person, but I know many people at Temple are, so I think it's safe to say that parties are something they miss about school.

15. The overall good vibes

@templeuniv on Instagram

The people at Temple and the campus itself just give off really positive energy and being there makes me feel good. T for Temple U, am I right?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
