I HATE this place...and here's why.

1. A long eight-minute walk away is downtown West Chester, with over 65 eateries, and over 75 retail stores and boutiques; you will be bored and hungry all the time.

2. Drunk and hungry? You can only choose between four pizza places near campus. Amores, Chris', Riggtown, and we can't forget about Papa John's. Which is the best? Sober you will never know.

3. The campus is way too big. If you live in the dorms you HAVE to wake up five minutes before class begins. Ugh.

4. Lunch time and you're on campus? Unfortunately, you have to eat from the food trucks. There just aren't enough choices AND they're DISGUSTING.

5. We have something called banana day and I don't even like bananas.

6. West Chester has the world's WORST gym.

7. Thirsty Thursday's aren't a thing here...like come on it's college.

8. The location SUCKS! We're sooo far from Philly, King of Prussia, New York, and Delaware.

9. Twenty-one-year-olds have NOTHING to do at night... there are literally NO bars.

10. Syllabus week isn't even sylly...

11. Homecoming is THE WORST day of the year.

West Chester University...home away from home. The only thing I do actually hate about this place is the parking... but don't get me started on that. West Chester has given me friendships and memories that will last lifetime. Coming to WCU is the best choice anyone could ever make. Forever I will be a golden ram #rampride.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.

We often forget to thank them for the little things that they do to make college even a tiny bit easier and more fun. This list of 26 things are what you should thank your roommates for right this minute and every day that you live with them.
