Dear Starkville, Please Bring Back Lime Scooters.

If you aren't sure what Lime Scooters are, I'm sorry.

Dear Starkville, Please Bring Back Lime Scooters.

If you aren't sure what Lime Scooters are, they are scooters that you can pay to ride through an app. And when Starkville, MS got them at the beginning of this year, they brought my friends and I pure joy. For me, I enjoyed them so much because they reminded me so much of Razor scooters from the mid 2000s.

Lime Bikes and Scooters were operated by batteries that were charged, causing minimal effort to ride them. Another thing about the bikes and scooters is that you could locate them using the app, and the first ride was FREE!! I'm not sure about everyone else, but i'm on a college budget, so "Free" is my favorite word.

Before Lime Scooters, there were Lime Bikes on the MSU campus. These bikes were very useful if you lived on campus because you could get to your class faster. Almost every day, I would see a Lime bike in a tree, on top of a building, or even inside a building. However, the Lime Scooters were not allowed on campus, only Lime Bikes. And eventually, I started realizing that the bikes as well as the scooters started disappearing.

Even though Riding Lime Scooters in downtown Starkville made me fall off a couple of times, it was still a really fun thing to do after class with your friends to pass time. Not only did it remind me of riding my childhood pink Barbie Razor Scooter, it almost hurt as bad falling off of it.

Even though i'm not certain on why the Lime Scooters and Bikes were taken away, i'm sure it had something to do with the fact that bikes were always getting tied to trees and being put on top of buildings. Because Lime Scooters started showing up on campus even though they weren't supposed to be, this is probably another reason why both the bikes and scooters were taken away.

Starkville, I apologize that bikes were continuously put in trees, but I for one would love to have Lime Scooters as well as bikes returned to us.

Sincerely,

The Students of Mississippi State University

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
