40 Questions I Have For Saint Mary's College

Halee Sikorski

Our glorious four week winter break is officially coming to an end. As I prepared to head back to the Bend and be greeted by the Avenue, I began thinking about our beautiful school and I realized I have a few questions for you, Saint Mary’s. Our school is great and I love you for that, but I’m still wondering about a few things...

1. Why do I have to eat this "food" from Sodexo?

2. Why isn’t there a Starbucks in the student center? ("We proudly serve” doesn’t count.)

3. How do I control the heat so my room isn’t as hot as the desert or as cold as the North Pole?

4. Speaking of temperature, why don’t we have air conditioning in our rooms?

5. Do you think Tory Burch used the French cross as inspiration for her own logo?

6. Can I please get my $245.70 of unused print money back?

7. Why is the Avenue so beautiful?

8. Why do you make room picks so stressful?

9. Why did you start construction on Angela at the end of fall?

10. Did you really have to take away half of the parking lot in the process?

11. Why does security write enough parking tickets in one day to fund my tuition for the entire semester?

12. Why do I feel like I workout in a prison gym now because of the renovations?

13. Why can’t we use our Munch Money on Eddy Street? (Domer Dollars work there, just saying.)

14. Why are there so many squirrels on campus?

15. How do I stop obsessing over my ring? Just kidding, I'm fine.

16. Can we request Beyoncé for our spring concert? #LoveOnTop

17. How do people have the nerve to write ‘St. Mary’s’?

18. Can we have personal pizza night more often?

19. Can Myron always cook my eggs?

20. Why is the wifi so bad in the library?

21. Why do we have to be located in Indiana?

22. How can I grow up to be as cool as President Cervelli?

23. Why can’t we live off campus until senior year?

24. Why is the Lake Marion fountain on in the middle of winter?

25. Why aren’t all of the tunnels open?

26. Why do we go crazy over the chicken nuggets? (They aren't even that good.)

27. What even is a Reslife?

28. Why do we have the same schedule as Notre Dame, but they get two study days instead of one?

29. Are we smarter than them because we don’t need as much time to study?

30. How do I make my Munch Money last all semester?

31. What’s Mooney up to now?

32. Why is the coffee in the library so hot?

33. Why is Midnight Breakfast only twice a year?

34. Why are we only allowed to go to Domerfest once?

35. Can we get bigger coffee cups in the DH?

36. Why is selling my Notre Dame football student section ticket worse than dealing drugs?

37. Why isn’t the Regina parking lot bigger?

38. Can you stock Cyber with an endless amount of half-baked Ben and Jerry’s?

39. Why do the laundry machines smell so bad?

40. And last, but certainly not least...why do I only get four short years here?

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
