10 Questions All Kent State Students Ask

Kent State has a lot of features unique to its students, as does any university. Every student who ends up coming here knows and loves random tidbits about the school that outsiders just would not understand. Yet, with all of the wonderful features that come along with going to Kent, there are many questions about the school that we students always ask and really do not have answers for:

1. What in the world is a golden flash really? And why isn’t the black squirrel our mascot? They’re everywhere. They are honestly the true mascot. You can always find one eating french fries out of a trash can.

2. We all have at one point (or many, many points) been frustrated by fellow drivers in Kent. Why are we adding roundabouts to further add to the frustration? Why? Tell me why. Please.

3. Will construction ever be over? I take it back that the black squirrel should be out mascot. Orange construction barrels should be.

4. Who built the area between the student center and the library to be such a massive wind tunnel? Almost every area on campus is fine, until you get right there and start fighting for your life against the wind.

5. Is 7:45am really the only time there is to offer a course essential to my graduation? Are you sure? But are you reeeeeally sure?

6. Why would you ever get rid of Jump from the Hub? That was just plain wrong. Cruelty.

7. Why do we never get snow days when it's 10 degrees out and the campus looks like Antarctica? Getting the notifications about the satellite campuses closing when we're still open burns my soul.

8. Why do we pay for printing? We already gave away our souls and free will to go to this school.

9. Why are my classes always a mile apart from each from other when I have to be at the second one in only fifteen minutes? (Seriously, this always happens to me.)

10. How does it always take eight million years to find parking spot? Even at 7:30am. How. How is this possible?

How many of these have you asked yourself?

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
