I'm an employee at the Clark Memorial Library at Shawnee state University so you may think that I'm trying to promote them (which I am slightly) but that's not it! The library is a great place on campus that more people need to utilize. There are many things that we can do for you here! Here are the top 5:


1. BOOKS!

This one may seem obvious you can come here and get books! We have an OhioLink program which allows us to borrow books from others schools to check out to our students. Many times you can fined your textbooks through OhioLink. We also have fun books such as Harry Potter, Game Of Thrones, etc...


2. Helpful Staff!

Not to brag but here at Shawnee we have a very helpful and friendly staff! We have librarians who can assist you with research in certain topics, we have student employees who can get you on the right track of finding information on what you need or we can just help you find books! We're always ready to help!


3. Comfortable and Quiet Study Spaces!

Are your room mates too loud, do you get too tempted by TV or computers when you study at home? Come to the library on all floors we have study rooms where you can go have a private space to study with a group or by yourself, on the third floor we have a quiet study area there are no computers, just quiet space so you can concentrate.


4. Computers, Laptops and WiFi!

If you live on campus you may know how bad the WiFi can be sometimes. Also some students in college may not have their own computers or laptops. Here at the library we have desktops computers that students can use and we can also check you out a laptop if you would prefer that! Just come to The service desk and bring your student ID!


5. Information Technology Services (ITS)

ITS is located in the basement of the library. ITS can help with log in problems computer connectivity problems, etc.. they also have a very helpful staff!

6. The Children's Materials Center (CMC)

If you are an education major like me the CMC will be your life. The CMC is also located in the basement of the library. The CMC has children's books, a laminator and elision machine and a graphic lab with poster board markers and other various things that you may need for projects. We also have free copying for education majors you just have to get the code from your professor.


7. The Writing Center

The writing canter helps students writing papers for their classes, they help you edit and revise your papers which is a helpful tool for students to have access to. The Writing Center is also located in the basement of the library.



So next time you need to study or get free time and just want to check us out come visit us in the library we have all these helpful things and more. Never be embarrassed to ask us questions we are always here to help you!



(During Finals week we even bring in Digit the therapy dog to help relieve stress!)

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

boy in adult clothes

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
