Thoughts On Having No Air Conditioning

About 99% of Cheyney University's student population can relate to the struggles my roommate and I are going through right now, and school hasn't even started yet. What are these struggles? Is it having to carry mini-fridges up stairs because the elevator is out? No. Is it parties going on and not being able to sleep because of the noise? No. The problem is that the air conditioning is broken, and it's 90 degrees outside. Now for some people this might not be a problem. For say, demons from the pits of hell, living in a room on the fourth floor where the only means of ventilation are two small windows that don't open all the way and central air wouldn't be a problem. But we are human, and we are melting like the Wicked Witch of the West up here!

I have been told that there is a part being waited on for the air conditioning to get fixed. But to be honest the reputation maintenance has with most of the people I know here has me thinking this meme is real:

I'm trying to be optimistic here, and I'm hoping that whatever needs to be fixed will be done soon. However, unless it's been a major crisis I've learned the students have to wait for things to be fixed even if affects our quality of life.

I do have to say that in one night I have gained so much more respect for my roommate, who managed to soldier out the night on her bed, while I - being cold blooded as I am - gave up being a puddle of sweat and slept on the cool linoleum in the kitchen. I'm already planning on bringing at least one very big fan back to school with me after labor day weekend. In the mean time, there are a few alternatives I've considered:

Unfortunately, it feels like anything frozen would last 0.5 seconds in this room right now. Heck, I'm barely lasting in this room right now. My only request to maintenance is this:

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
