10 Things To Be Thankful For At Wagner College
Olivia Melillo

During this time of the year, we find ourselves reflecting on all things we should be thankful for. Whether that be your parents buying you a new car a few months ago or your professor canceling class the day your 12 page paper was due, giving you the weekend to procrastinate just as much as the first time around. We all have the little things in life we're happy to have whether they be daily or yearly occurrences. But one thing any given Wagner Student can tell you is that no matter how much they may hate the school, they’re thankful for these 10 vital things.

  1. Being able to leave your dorm and make it to any other destination on campus on time.
  2. Never walking more than 30 feet and seeing someone you know.
  3. The self motivation to go to class because the largest classes are 30 people and the professor WILL know you are not there.
  4. The smell of deep fryers lingering in the air while walking to union.
  5. No matter what building you live in, you can get your take out delivered right to the door.
  6. The school provides transportation from the ferry back to campus so you do not have to pay for a taxi every time you go out to the city.
  7. You can get a 4 year bachelor's degree and be deemed employable without being all that skilled.
  8. Sometimes the public safety personnel driving around in golf carts will take you to your building if they’re feeling generous.
  9. There are several performances on campus during the year so there is always an opportunity to go get some fun and free entertainment.
  10. No matter where you go in life, Wagner will always be there with open arms.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
