The ABCs of Wagner College
Clare McCaffrey

A to Z, Alpha to Omega or beginning to end; Wagner College has it all. ABCs are one of the first things we learn, so its fitting to use this to go through Wagner.

Each letter in the alphabet can represent a different aspect of the school we hold close to our hearts.

A: Attendance.

Since we had such a small school, people will notice if you're not in class. Professors will sometimes make comments and even ask your friends where you are.

B: Brunch.

If you wanna eat on the weekends, you have to make it to brunch. You'll probably see the one person you're avoiding but getting an omelette will make it worth it.

Honorable mention: Banned Tailgates.

C: Cockroaches.

Wagner students act like every bug they see is the first one. We have a little bug problem in Towers. Yes, we also had some beg bugs but the panic over that was justified.

D: Dillon Quinn.

Where would we be without our leader? Second term class president Dillon Quinn is a household name on campus.

E: Elevators.

Please let me know the last time they all have worked at the same time.

F: Faiza.

You will take fruit to fill your swipe and you'll do it because Faiza. She's a little mom figure at Starbucks just trying to make sure we get our moneys worth out of our swipe.

G: Guild.

Suite style living is nice but cleaning your own bathroom is not. Upperclassman get the advantage with, in my opinion, is the most home like of the dorm building.

H: Harborview.

Our freshmen building is home to about 500 of our newest Seahawks.

I: Illness.

I've never had a week where I haven't had a sick friend.

J: "Just friends".

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard this, I'd be able to pay this crazy tuition.

K: "Killed another bug."

Isn't Towers the best place to live?!

L: Lost in translation.

Much like teenage boys, Wagner has communication skills that need to be worked on.

M: Money.

Wagner steals all of ours. I don't wanna talk about it.

N: Neff.

Subsection of Wagner, but Neff is everyones favorite bouncer. He makes Thursday nights that much more fun.

O: Oval Days.

Basically the only joy we feel in April.

P: Politically Correct.

Due to our diverse campus, we all have to make sure not to offend.

Q: Questionable chicken.

Sometimes DHall is on point and other times we're left wondering whats on our plates.

R: Registar.

Its a right of passage to have an issue with this office. Registering for classes or trying to fill our study abroad paperwork, its going to be a hassle.

S: Seahawks.

Every great school has to have its beloved mascot.

T: Towers.

Do I even need to explain?

U: Union.

If you need to eat, you're headed to Union. It holds Study Abroad, SGA, CCP and all the crispy chicken we could want.

V: Venturing into Manhattan.

Wagner students take full advantage of the free transportation into the Big Apple.

W: Wag.

Located in Guild, the Wag is home to late night food with flexi or a swipe. I'm guilty of buying the largest ice cream size on those rough study nights.

X: X-Ray

Literally nothing to do with the Wag but come on, what else do you expect me to put for X?

Y: You're stranded.

Once again, the Wagner shuttle service has left you behind at the ferry terminal. Maybe even left you behind at Wagner because it got full and left.

Z: Zoo.

Because we act like animals wheneber we hear "free stuff". It's rare, but when it happens we go nuts.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
