What It's Actually Like To Be A Buffalo State Student

After attending Buffalo State for three years, I have experienced so much. The things that I listed below are some things that I think almost every Buffalo State student can relate to. If you can't relate to at least one, then you probably live under a rock.

1. Dealing with crazy lines

Whether it's food or an event on campus you know that you are going to deal with a crazy line. Certain times of the day are horrible times to get food. For an event you have to show up about an hour prior, to avoid dealing with a chaotic line. Even though it can be annoying at times, you just deal with it.

2. Not having a place to stay

Due to the amount of students accepted into Buffalo State, you know there is a chance you won't live on campus. Especially to the class of 2018. So off-campus apartments or houses might be your place to stay. By the way, make sure you put yourself down for the wait list if you still want to live on campus.

3. Living on another campus

Just to feed off of not having a place to stay, you might live at another school's campus. One of those school campuses may be Medaille college.

4. Living in a triple dorm room as a freshman

As a freshman you have to live in a triple. That means that there will be three people living in one dorm room. There will be a bunk bed and one single bed. If you live on the top bunk you get your own desk and closet. If you live on the bottom bunk be prepared to share your desk with the person on the single.

5. Bengal Pause

Everyone that attends Buffalo State knows what goes on Tuesday and Thursdays between 12:00 pm and 1:30 p.m in the Union. If you don't then clearly you don't go there. That time would be a horrible time to walk through looking a mess. Just know you're going to see everyone. Bengal Pause is a perfect time to get involved on campus. It's a great time to find out about different clubs and organizations. It's also a great time to network and meet new people.

6. "Springfest"

The end of the year concert that everyone is so crazy about. The artists that our picked for "springfest" usually is the most talked about on campus. Regardless if you like the artists, you know it's still going to be lit. Most artists that we get tend to really blow up after performing at our school. Also if we like them, we bring them back a second time. I'm not saying any names but let's just say he's not a regular person.

7. Having a side hustle

Almost every person on Buffalo State campus has a little side hustle. They vary from doing hair, clothing lines, photography, student drivers, and etc. If a buffalo state student can't motivate you to hustle then I don't know what will.

So that's pretty much a random list of what goes on at Buffalo State. There are so many more things, but that's just a few. What did you relate to in the list?

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.
