This one goes out to all you ectoplasm ecologists; Here’s Hamline’s top five ghosts that live right here on campus. For now we’ll put all the debacle and debate aside and just assume that you’re not a complete and soulless bastard. This is just a list in no particular order of the spectres, no rank , simply good old-fashioned ghosts.

The ghost that occupies the 3rd stall in the library’s second-floor women's bathroom

(3rd Stall Down by Ava Paloma)

This ghost, male or female as it be, has a tendency to hover around women’s toilets in Hamline’s Bush Memorial Library. I have a firsthand account and proof; Every time I go to the bathroom there, my hair is becomes statically attracted to the next stall over (Never use a stall the ghost is using). They seem alright enough to get along with, so long as you understand that they need a little privacy.

Every Ghost in Old Main

Listen I don’t care where they are or how many ghosts there are in Old Main, I just know that place is MEGA haunted top to bottom. Many sources point to the basement as the main place of dwelling, and that makes sense; The building was built in 1873, destroyed by a fire in 1883, and rebuilt in 1884. Here’s you you, the vague entities that haunt our campus’s capital.

The ghost that haunts the plant-filled hallway in Sundin Hall

This ghost might’ve been a botanist, or just really likes cool plants. Either way, I can feel some major spooky energy coming from up and around Sundin Hall. This ghost also likes the coat hanger closet, and the two high-hanging chandeliers. I wouldn’t be surprised if this spirit was also a music lover too.

The ghost that lives by Lot C and hangs out by the dumpsters



Okay, this one could be a stretch, but I’ve seen a face in that little hut by the garbage crusher in the dead of winter. It’s got some serious haunted vibes, especially when most of that shack’s windows are boarded up or covered. I like to think that it’s the spirit of a roadkill raccoon, taking shelter next to it’s main food source. Whatever it is, it’s creepy for sure.

Last but not least:You! Yes, the ghost that lives in YOU

(Familiar Faces by Ava Paloma)

After all, are we truly our bodies? Or, are we simply a mental connection inside our bodies, autonomously operating our neural-net flesh prison every day of our existence? College students could honestly be described as ghosts of their former selves, who also tend to moan and hover around things. From the bottom of my haunted heart, I appreciate that, and the fact that we’re all still here. Thanks for getting almost too into the season, Hamline students!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
