To those of you that are fellow students at the fine establishment that is Rider University... WELCOME BACK!!

My second semester as a freshman started two weeks ago and I'm already ready for it to be over. Unfortunately, I have to wait until May for that to happen so I might as well make the best of it. There are some things that could make it just a little more enjoyable.

Therefore, I'd just like to state a few a reminders for those living on campus this semester.

1. Quiet Hours

Quiet hours begin at 11 pm from Sunday through to Thursday, and at 1 am on Friday and Saturday. It's unfair to those of us with early morning classes or who've had a long day to be awoken by screaming in the hallway and the slamming of doors at all hours of the night.

2. Voices Travel

Due to the extremely high temperature of the dorms, some students keep their windows open. This means people can hear your ENTIRE conversation as you scream across the echoing residence quad. Honestly, there are just some things people shouldn't have to hear about the lives of others.

3. Bathroom Etiquette

Now, I don't know if this is just my building or maybe just my floor but FLUSH THE TOILET. It seems as though some have forgotten what that little handle is on the side of the toilet since last semester.

SIDE NOTE: I don't know if Public Safety is trying to lessen the university's $10 million deficit in the form of parking tickets, but OH MY GOODNESS. I've seen Public Safety give AT LEAST 30 tickets in the last couple days. Save your wallets, MOVE YOUR CARS!
