11 Truths All Roger Williams Students Know To Be True

Caitlyn Hansbury

As winter break is coming to an end I find myself itching to be back on the beautiful campus that I call my home away from home. Here is a list of things I compiled that all, if not most, Roger Williams students know to be true.

1. The beauty that is the Mount Hope Bridge

I mean do you really go to Roger if you don't post a bridge pic to your Instagram at one point or another?

2. The grass is always shorter on the Roger side

On any given day you can find the grass of the library quad being mowed, regardless of the weather.

3. The wonderful staff of Upper Commons

Alice from Commons can and will never fail to put a smile on your face

4. Chicken Finger and Mac and Cheese

Hands down the best day in Commons. Need I say more?

5. The struggle that is Willow Hill

Every Willow resident knows and fully understands the daily struggle of multiple trips up and down the hill.

6. The beauty that belongs to the sunsets

With the bay and the bridge as a backdrop, the sunset is always beautiful and a sight to see.

7. RWU = Rainy Windy University

It sometimes feels like the rain and the wind will never stop. with the never ending bad weather, it's definitely a bad hair day every day.

8. Pizza from Lower

The pizza at Lower definitely tastes way better than the pizza in Upper. It's never a wasted trip and besides,where else can you get fresh pizza at midnight?

9. Get involved

From the moment a new student sets foot on campus you will constantly be told to get involved in some way shape or form. Luckily, Roger offers many clubs and organizations to choose from that can satisfy anyone's interests.

10. The excitement of seeing a campus cat

It took me a solid month and a half on campus before I saw my first campus cat, but now that I've seen one, they're everywhere. Although I am not a cat person in the slightest, I still find joy and get a little bit excited every time I see one of those furry little guys hanging out around MNS.

11. Once a hawk, always a hawk

With such a tight-knit community, you can always count on a fellow hawk to help you out in a time of need. No matter what, you know that Roger is a place for you to call home. Hawks fly together.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
