Struggles Of Every URI Student

Why does Chaffee feel like the inside of an easy bake oven?

Struggles Of Every URI Student

The University of Rhode Island has a diverse group of students who experience the same struggles on a daily basis. We all know that this school is definitely something else.

1. Butterfield is closed on the weekends

This is basically the school's way of saying: "You're going to starve or walk all the way to Mainfaire." Who is going to want to walk all the way to Mainfare when it snows? Not this hungry gal.

2. The walk to Chaffee

It can be the most beautiful weather and this walk is still dreadful. It is also a million degrees when you walk into this building and you will automatically sweat right when you sit in your seat.

3. Finding an Uber

If you haven't paid a ridiculous amount of money for an uber, do you really go here?

4. Having 3 people living in a 2 person dorm

None of these dorms were designed for three people, yet here we are. The closet space could be a little bigger, we can all agree on that.

5. The laundry machines

You will have to dry your clothes three times for fully dried clothes

6. The toilet paper

This is self-explanatory.

7. The Rhode Island terms

Anyone not from Rhode Island or Massachusetts hears "wicked" everywhere you go. Also, a water fountain is not a "bubbler". Rhode Island says some silly stuff.


We all love to hate URI. However, it is home and I can't imagine going anywhere else.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
