30 Questions I Have For The University Of Scranton

Asking the real questions- like why can't I get ice cream up until 11pm and when will I meet Steve Carrell?

30 Questions I Have For The University Of Scranton
Grace Dickson

1. Do you realize how hard it is to avoid the freshmen 15 with all of the great food on campus?

2. Can we please get rid of the rule that we can't wear tank tops to the gym? (Where else am I going to wear that expensive Scranton pinnie I bought?)

3. Can we please be allowed to have cars on campus starting our sophomore year?

4. Why is Reddington built so differently than all of the other buildings on campus?

5. Why Starbucks and not Dunkin Donuts on campus?

6. Can we have Dog Therapy Day (at least) twice a semester?


7. How many free shirts do you give out a year, and is the amount the reason why my tuition is so high?

8. Purple is an unusual color for a college, so what made that Scranton's color?

9. Who named Iggy the mascot? And why is that his name?

10. Why is there no ice cream at Late Night?

11. Why must everything on campus open so late on the weekends? (some of us early risers want to get our day started)

12. Why is intercession so long? (I really don't mind the long break, I'm just curious)

13. Is there any way ROTC could not practice right outside my window at 5:30 am? That is not my preference of alarm clocks.

14. Is there really a sauna and steam room in the locker rooms in the Byron center? And can I use them?

15. Why isn't there a way to reserve rooms in LSC like there is in the library?

16. Can we have a gallery that is strictly dedicated to the beautiful sunsets seen on campus?

17. Why are there no bus trips to places like Nay Aug Park or the malls?

18. Can there be a class about "The Office"? And maybe about the history of girls who have met their own Jim Halpert at Scranton?

19. How did the University of Scranton end up developing such a wonderful community? Where did they go right?

20. Why is there no Insomnia Cookies near campus?

21. Why don't you require all professors to post grades on D2L? (It would make a gal who gets stressed over grades very easily, very happy)

22. Why isn't there a more consistent attendance policy for when there is something like a death in the family? There should be a campus-wide policy and should not be left up to the professor.

23. Why don't you make University of Scranton textbooks more affordable for students? Making them more accessible to everyone.

24. Why the heck is the elevator in GLM and LSC so slow?

25. Why did we get rid of our football team?

26. Why is Scranton called Steamtown, USA, with a museum and all, but yet has no train station for people to use? (It would be an extremely helpful form of transportation for students to use)

27. How did you manage to find the nicest maintenance staff in the world?

28. How many Christmas trees are there in total on campus during the holiday season?

29. Why is first floor of the library always five degrees???

30. Do you think we could look into getting the cast of "The Office" to come visit campus?


The University of Scranton is the best home away from home I could have asked for, but I would greatly appreciate some answers to these questions (especially number 30).

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
