5 Question I Have For Lindenwood University
Wikipedia

If you don't already know I am a junior at Lindenwood University. Yes, this is my third year at this university and man have I seen some things. Now I am not saying this is a bad school. There are just a few questions I have for this illustrious university.

1. Are we really diverse, or do you all just say that to look nice on paper?


Yes my school is a melting pot, but the school is filled with international students. When you hear terms like multicultural and diverse, just know their not talking about black students. According to college factual Caucasian students make up 52.9 % of the student population. Then 78.4 % of the faculty.

2. When are we going to have a real fried chicken place by campus?

Lindenwood has so many food places near the school, but no real chicken. Yea there's Canes, but they only serve chicken strips. You have to get on the highway and drive ten minutes to go to Popeye's. As far as walking distance, there is no place that serves good gizzards, biscuits that make your throat dry, or that finger licking chicken that makes you want to slap your momma.

3. Did you all really think those dining dollars were enough?

Dining dollars are extra money for the students. the students can use them at the convenient store, Starbucks, or if you want extra food outside the meal plan. Dining dollars lasted long last year because we didn't have all the extra stores. This year we have Starbucks, a new cafe in Harmon, and sky rocket prices at the convenient store. I have 43 dollars left, and its the first week of October!

4. So are we just going to ignore the fact that there are wild geese on campus every year?

Every year when it starts to warm up these random geese come on campus and get very territorial. The geese act like they paid $23,000 to go to this school. There are literally videos of students being chased by these geese.

5. Does attendance really matter?

Last year I had a teacher that gave me a 79.9 because she didn't like that I was late to her 8 am almost every day. That is a prime example of teacher abuse. I feel like if I did the work, than why does attendance matter. If I'm making good grades and turning in all the assignments on time, than why does attendance need to be a factor.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
