10 Things Every ASU Freshman Living At Taylor Place Knows Too, Too Well

In This Article:

Why come to the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus? It's hot as hell, there's only one pool, and there's a U of A building next door (gross). But at least there are shuttles that are mostly on time to take us to the other campuses.

Most Sun Devils, and by most I mean freshman and sophomores, live in the dorms at Taylor Place. And like any dorm building, Taylor Place has its quirks.

1. Waiting a thousand years for one of the four elevators to get back to your room.

I just want to get back to my room and put my bag down, is that too much to ask?

2. Trying to control your frustration when you have to wait for the elevators to get you to the ground floor.

I have to be in class in five minutes. I do not have time to stop on every single floor and watch this elevator become a can of sardines. Guess I'm taking the stairs.

3. The. Stairs.

What do you mean you can only take the stairs down to the ground floor? Why can't we use the stairs to come back up too?

4. Realizing the dining hall closed at 7:00 p.m. because it's Friday but you came down for dinner at 7:15 p.m.

Nothing is more depressing than seeing those steel bars covering those Sun Devil menus.

5. Feeling that single tear roll down your cheek when the washing machine is being used in Tower 1 AND in Tower 2.

This is an emergency! I'm out of underwear! It's not like I can go to another floor to...oh wait.

6. Dealing with the incredibly thin walls.

I mean, there are worse things than hearing your neighbor sing in the shower.

7. Having to use you Sun Devil Card to get into literally anywhere in Taylor Place.

Oh man, I left my keys are in my bag, one sec. OK, here, I got them, but now people are waiting for me to open the door. This is so awkward.

8. Forgetting to check your mailbox because the Housing Office only emails you about packages.

I'm sorry mom! I had no idea you sent me a card.

9. Hanging out on the floors that have the televisions.

Why work on homework when you can watch a weird show you've never seen before with someone you've never met?

10. Realizing that even though the stair thing is annoying, Taylor Place is still pretty nice.

Giphy

This building is pretty safe, especially since no one can get up those stupid stairs.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
