ABCs Of Wright State
Wright State

With move-in day right around the corner I can't help but write about my favorite college. Here's an alphabet of the most basic things you need to know if you're a Wright State Raider!

WXY & Z... Now you know your ABC's, it's time to learn the Wright State ABC's.

A is for Allyn Hall
Home of the Hangar.

B is for Boonshoft
The reason why half the student body is at Wright State, our school of medicine. It's kind of a big deal.

B is also for B.A.R.T.
The big a**, big artsy red thing in the middle of campus that we all love to joke about.

C is for the C-store
Home of the $9 pack of Oreos, also the best place to blow leftover swipes for the week.

D is for debate
We can't wait to host the debate! Just kidding, we dropped out!

D is also for Dunbar
The best place on campus to stay up 'till 3 am, with Starbucks in hand, alongside hundreds of other students all cramming for exams.

E is for exercise
To combat the freshman 15 there is a rec center located in Honors and the Union!

F is for Fairborn
But it's just easier to say Wright State is in Dayton.

G is for the Guardian
The statue outside of Starbucks and our school newspaper!

H for Hopkins
The MAN at Wright State.

H is also for Hangar
Arguably the best place on campus to eat, Pizza Hut, The Den, and the weekend buffet.

I is for Intramural sports
Watching your friends play or playing yourself, it's a perfect study break.

J is for Jamba Juice
The only place on campus where a small drink is one whole swipe!

K is for Knowledge
All the knowledge you will gain during your time at Wright State.

L is for Lake Campus
Located in Celina, OH.

M is for Meal Swipes
$6.50 meals that are the main cause of the freshman 15.

N is for Nutter Center
The place to catch all the basketball games, guest speakers and concerts.

O is for One-Eyed Jacks
The closest bar to campus that is even sketchier than it's name.

P is for parking
I could write an entire article on this issue alone, @wrightstate don't sell more permits than you have parking spaces, I'm tired of parking at Meijer.

Q is for Quizlet
Saving history and anatomy students' grades all year long.

R is for resident assistant
S/O to my freshman year RA! You rock, Joy!

R is also for Rowdy!
Our mascot Rowdy the Raider!

S is for Starbucks
God bless this beautiful coffee shop in the library that fuels all study sessions.

T is for tuition
One of the lowest in the state. (Yet somehow I'm still broke..)

U is for underground tunnels
The biggest life savor on a rainy day. Now if only we could build tunnels to our dorms.

V is for Vinny's
Cousin Vinny's to be exact. The best/cheapest pizza place with like 20 locations surrounding Dayton. They also deliver for free and stay open 'til 3 a.m.

W is for the Wright Brothers.
For the name and the second logo of the Wright Brothers Flyer.

X can be for Xi
To represent greek life at Wright State.

Y is for Yik-Yak
Probably the greatest/funniest app to have on campus.

Z is for Zip Code
45324, home.

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.

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.
