Why College of Charleston Sucks

Who made the decision to paint the shutters bright blue?

Why College of Charleston Sucks
Glimpses of Charleston

Charleston is a tiny, quaint city located in the Southeast region of South Carolina. Many people swarm to this place not due to its historical charm, but mainly because it has been named the #1 city according to Travel and Leisure. College of Charleston is a public Liberal Arts and Science college located in the downtown historic area of the city. With it being a medium-sized school, I suppose there are quite a few people who actually enjoy living in Charleston, but I'm here to tell you why College of Charleston sucks.

1. Beach



The school itself is located about 25 minutes from the beach. Why would students want to drive 25 minutes just to go to the beach? I'm sure they are so busy studying that they would rather be in the Addlestone as opposed to laying on the warm beach. Who wants to be tan all year round anyways?

2. Location



College of Charleston is located downtown, and close to everything the city has to offer. Restaurants, shopping, and historic museums are all so close to campus that it's almost annoying being so close to everything. The food honestly isn't even that great, and I would much rather go to Chick-fil-A for lunch than anywhere on King Street. It's almost overwhelming how many fun places and activities there are to do.

3. Historic Houses



Why would they keep those old and ugly historic houses around the city, but, more importantly, why would anyone want to live in them? We might as well tear them down and create more modern, up-to-date houses. Slanted floors and creaky doors? Not my cup of tea.

4. Southern Charm



The feeling that I get when I am in this city is a little strange. Some of the things I noticed were people smiling at me while saying "hello" and opening doors. I'm definitely not used to these odd behaviors and I don't think I ever will be.

5. Beautiful People



Walking around the city, I also noticed how extremely attractive all the people are. And no, I'm not exaggerating. Every person you see... 10/10. Honestly, it must be something in the water. Sunglasses are key in this city because you can't help but stare at all the beautiful men and women walking around.

I hope this article helped inform you on all the reasons why College of Charleston sucks. But as I was writing this, I had a slight change of heart. I guess this city is sort of absolutely amazing; hence why it was rated the #1 city in America. Out of all the beautiful colleges that I could have chosen, I am so happy I decided to leave my home and traveled 500 miles away to the sunny city of Charleston, South Carolina. The South was calling and this Northerner answered. I am happy to have found my home at the College of Charleston.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
