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.

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.
