Sometimes reaching November can feel a bit like hitting a wall as the semester only continues to pick up speed and chaos and Thanksgiving break feel entirely out of reach. Here's the playlist I will be blasting on repeat these last three weeks before I can go home to be with family for the Thanksgiving holiday!

JMU Freshmen Are Being Targeted By The Harrison As Close As Their Dorm Room

The Harrison is just another example of how advertising is so pervasive.

Within the past month, I've woken up in my Chesapeake Hall dorm room to a flier from the off-campus housing complex, The Harrison. Knowing every off-campus housing complex probably has a few open spaces each year, they want to fill as many spaces as possible. However, with numerous advertising mediums across campus and online, it's easy to know where these off-campus housing complexes are located and which are best. In addition, The Harrison has sent out numerous emails through the JMU system to sign a housing contract for the following year. I've seen and gotten more emails from The Harrison than any other student housing complex that caters to the JMU community.

They're the easiest to spot on campus. You'll see them covered in head to toe in school gear- their backpack probably even has their name and their number on it. They're normally seen in groups or pairs, rarely ever alone. There will be a handful of them in your classes, sometimes just one or two depending on your major. Who might I be talking about?

You guessed it. The student-athletes.

Dear Birds,

You were one of the most exciting moments of the first semester. Not only did you bless people with the capability of falling off of them, but still somehow provided transportation from one place to the other without catching the bus. Now, sadly I have to wait out in the freezing cold longer to catch the bus with gross people that could give me germs(as if I'm not sick already from living in a dorm). You prevented me from being late to class at all costs to prevent the 20-minute walk from East to Main campus. Also, eating a pop tart while riding you was a plus. Although, you did make me feel even taller with the shortness of your bike (but that's what Lime scooters are for).

Eva Rinaldi

Oh, syllabus week, a time to stress about homework that you may or may not need to do, walk miles for no reason, or even do nothing. The point is we all have been there. Not only is it the first weekend back from break but we're all so tired.
