6 Near Death Experiences You've had at SJU

If you go to SJU, you've probably had few near death experiences either by the hands of the shuttle, or crossing the street on City Ave. Here are 6 near death experiences you've likely had on St. Joe's campus.

1. Crossing the Street on City Ave or N. 54th

Drivers on City Ave don't stop for anyone, even when the light is about to turn red. It's even worse crossing on North 54th where there's no light. May the odds be ever in your favor.

2. Almost getting hit by the shuttle at the Mandeville stop

If you've walked across the mandeville lot when the shuttle comes through, you've definitely had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit by the shuttle

3. Walking to the 4th floor science center after leg day

The trek to the 4th floor science center is hard enough on a normal day. The day after leg day though? Just dig my grave now.

4. Getting Lost in Barbelin

Getting lost in Barbelin happens even if you're a senior. Make one wrong turn on your way to class and it's all over. Will you ever see the daylight again? Who knows.

5. Riding in Pub Safe/the Shuttle

Apparently one of the requirements to be a public safety/shuttle driver is being super aggressive and ignoring all traffic signs.

6. Waiting for the Shuttle in the Freezing Cold

When the shuttle is late and you're waiting outside in the freezing cold. How many fingers do you have to lose to hypothermia before you can file a lawsuit

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
