A Poetic Tribute To WCU

Because I'm not a rapper.

A Poetic Tribute To WCU

Deep in the heart of south eastern PA

Where they pregame with Natty because they can't afford IPAs

Sit the Golden Rams of West Chester University

A school that relishes in its wide spread diversity

And as I look back on my time there's plenty to be missed

That I will never forget after my final class is dismissed

I'll miss pre gaming in the dorms with my buddies from the floor

Peeping through the hole checking for RAs at the door

Then walking to the parties with the booze in our backpacks

If Walnut Street got busted we could always try out Matlack

And if you didn't get lucky there was always late night pizza

And seeing classmates in Amore with a "Hey nice to see ya"

Then forgetting in the morning what you did and what you said

Feeling so defeated you just want to stay in bed

I'll miss stuffing down free food that wasn't quite on fleek

Then walking past the gym and thinking "maybe next week"

I’ll miss the house that I called home despite the price for rent

Right there on Walnut Street where many nights were spent

I’ll miss our room full of fridges, because I mean why not right?

We had three freaking refrigerators so that was pretty tight

And while we made the house dirty and it was really pretty old

The memories that we had there provide great stories to be told

Like when there were parties with good times galore

And hoping to hell we didn’t hear “that knock” at the door

Or our movie nights, which was something that we all enjoyed

Some gems we’ve watched included Pitch Perfect 2 and Jersey Boys

Or just when we were chilling and watching football on a Sunday

Those are the days that I consider my fun days

Along with day drinking in the warm spring sun

Then attempting to go out later for one hell of a run

I’ll miss my 21st birthday, which felt like it took a century

Which I thought I handled well despite the odds against me

I’ll miss hanging out in Jake’s on some random snow day

You can’t beat $1 beers; there really is no way

I'll miss shuck and jiving in Landmark’s basement until my feet couldn’t stand it

Then looking at my wallet the next morning and thinking "God damn it"

I’ll miss happy hour at Kildare’s they should really bring those back

But I mean I understand those tended to get all out of whack

I’ll miss finals week despite the amount of stress

Because that’s the kind of pressure that can bring out the very best

Thanks to school I feel I’m ready for life’s next step

Even though the kid in me is still screaming “not yet”

Blink and you miss it really does apply here

Because this was just a blur, and it definitely feels weird

It’s incredible to think how fast four years came and went

But while it seemed fast I have to admit that I’m spent

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
