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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
