27 Questions I Have For Sam Houston State University
Facebook

Well, we are off to another semester. It is time to purchase (expensive) books, type never-ending papers, and stress more than we ever thought possible. In honor of the new beginning, I have compiled a few (okay, twenty-seven) questions that Bearkats have for Sam Houston State University.

(Just as a disclaimer: I absolutely love SHSU, and wouldn't trade my time here for anything. My time here has been an adventure and I am so thankful for this school.)


1. Why do I have to pay a graduation application fee when I already pay a substantial amount for tuition?

2. Why are meal plans so expensive?

3. Why do I have to be on campus by 7:30 to get a spot even remotely close to my class?

4. And, seriously, what is up with the never-ending stairs?

5. Should we talk about Struggle Hill, or nah? (The hill that sits between Elliot Hall and campus. It is near the Pit.)

6. Does the staff have some special trick to lure all of the chickens and squirrels to campus?

7. And why are they (the chickens and squirrels, that is) so abnormally tame?

8. What would it take to have a shuttle service that picks students up at bus stops near their apartments and takes them to class? I'm talking something similar to A&M or UT's transit systems. (I'm certain that one day we will rival them in size.)

9. Why did y'all change the street by the library to a one-way?

10. Why is basically every restaurant on campus closed on the weekend?

11. Why are the new dorms by Raven taking so long to build?

12. Why does it cost more to live in the dorms than in an all-bills paid, off-campus apartment?

13. Why did the CHSS computer lab stop being open 24 hours?

15. And speaking of the CHSS, who started calling it the "Chess?"

16. Why do I have to pay a fee to apply for graduate school when I'm already a student here?

17. Why do we call the Mall Area the Mall Area?

18. Why don't we invest in more crosswalk lights?

19. And Montgomery Road, between the two BKV's, don't you think adding crosswalk lights there would be a very good investment?

20. Can we fix the road between the Coliseum and the Rec? So. Many. Potholes.

21. Why is it so hard for me to think of more questions? (I know this one; it's hard to find fault in the things we love.)

22. Why is orange my favorite color now?

23. And how could I ever find professors better than the ones at Sam?

24. Would you judge me if I stayed here a few more years?

25. What do I do if I'm not ready to leave you?

26. How did you mange to change my life in so many ways?

27. What am I going to do without you when I graduate?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
