23 Questions I Have For Arizona State University
Education At Work

ASU is the biggest college campus in the US--we talk about everything from how to survive as a freshman to missing ASU over break, we have some questions about our beloved school.

1. Why is the Sundevil our mascot?

Don’t get me wrong, I love Sparky and I bleed maroon and gold. I’m just curious as to how we ended up with a “sundevil,” rather than say, I don’t know, a normal animal?


2. Is there a rule that there must always be some sort of construction or renovation happening?

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the campus construction-free.


3. Why do you let Brother Dean on campus?

We all know he’s just an annoying and whiny bigot.


4. Also, who is the guy that would come preach in a boy scout outfit?

I mean I’m sure he’s related to Brother Dean somehow, he was just as annoying.


5. Do you ever feel bad for how much money we have to spend on textbooks?

Let’s be real, half the time we don’t have to use a book for more than a chapter or two of it, and yet, I’m spending $200 on each one.


6. Who came up with the name “The Secret Garden” and why?

After all, there’s nothing secret about it.


7. Was the Barrett dining hall designed to look like Hogwarts?

C’mon, we all see the resemblance.


8. Will there ever be a day that the ASU alerts are sent out for something important?

Listen, we really need to have a talk about the number of emails we get every month about bees on the West campus.

9. Why are we called a dry campus?

We all know that’s far from the truth.


10. Why is the WiFi so bad?

Please, from every student to have ever attended ASU, fix the internet connection.


11. Will you really pay our tuition if we get run over by a car on campus?

Asking for a friend, of course.


12. When are we getting a frat row again?

Seriously, we’re all waiting.


13. Can we renovate some of the buildings please?

It’s not fair that some of the buildings are nice and new (looking at you, McCord Hall) but the rest are run-down.


14. How do you decide who gets to register for classes first?

This is a process that confuses us all.


15. Why did we need a new Palm Walk?

My heart aches for the beautiful old one we had.


16. Also, were our tuitions really raised FOR the new Palm Walk?

That’s what the rumor mill is saying.


17. How often do you get complains from Uber or Lyft drivers about ASU students?

If there is any one universal truth, it’s that every one of them probably hates driving ASU students… especially on the weekends.


18. Why maroon and gold?

Somehow, you’d think it’d be red and yellow.


19. Why 6 a.m for registration?

I’m convinced you get some joy of out watching students stress out over classes every semester.


20. Why are food and drinks allowed in Hayden Library but not Computing Commons?

Seriously, I don’t understand the logic behind this one.


21. Why did you shut down the Taco Bell in the Memorial Union?

I’m still mourning that one. RIP MU Taco Bell.


22. Why is the 4th Floor of McCord Hall so mysterious and hard to get to?

Rumors are, there’s unicorns and witchcraft up there.


23. Will you let me stay here forever?

Despite the 22 questions above this sounding like complaints, there is no place I’d rather be than Arizona State University. I might still be several semesters away from graduating, but I already dislike the thought of leaving this place I now call home.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
