The huge topic of conversation on campus at West Chester University over the last month and a half has been whether or not the teachers are going to go on strike. As the days dwindle down, it is becoming clearer that a strike is a serious possibility. While it's incredibly sad that our professors have to fight so hard to make a fair wage, it's also kind of exciting that we might not have class. So if classes do end up getting canceled, and you find yourself bored with nothing to do, here are some fun ways to spend our days on strike.
1. Work on completing your college bucket list
Is there something you've been dying to cross off your list, but just haven't had time? With days of no class, this is the perfect opportunity. Just channel your inner Spongebob and wear a wig while riding a Seahorse...or something else silly.
2. Drink
And by drink I mean bar hop around West Chester at noon.....Sorry mom and dad.
3. Catch up with friends
When classes, work and internships become really hectic it can become hard to find time to hangout with friends. Now's the perfect time to hangout with those friends you haven't seen in a while! Or spend even more quality time with the ones you see everyday! College would be nothing without the friends you spend it with so enjoy the extra quality time!
4. "Pizza Hop" around West Chester
Any West Chester student can tell you that people get very fired up about which pizza place is the best. Now you can spend an afternoon traveling from each pizza place and have a serious taste test. You might come to a conclusion for the most serious question in West Chester.....Chris's or Riggtown? (It's Chris's).

5. Go Shopping
Because any time off from school is a good time to spend money you don't even have, and the King of Prussia mall is only twenty five minutes away. Why not make a drive down?
6. Have a Scavenger Hunt around West Chester
Because nothing is more hilarious than gathering up your friends and having everyone do and find ridiculous things. Seriously though, scavenger hunts are so much fun and when something as crazy as a strike happens, you need to do something ridiculous. It'll also give you a chance to explore more of West Chester and see more of our beautiful town.
7. Prepare for Homecoming
It's happening whether or not we strike...so be ready for the craziness that will ensue and make sure this year is the best one yet. Just think of it this way, if we strike, homecoming weekend can just get started even earlier this year.
And if all else fails, refer back to #2. Happy striking my friends.
