The ABC's Of Smith College

When you think of Smith College, what do you think of? Is it the brave activists? Is it the beautiful Paradise Pond where everyone goes to unwind in the nice weather? If those aren't two of the things you think of, have no fear! This list spells out everything there is to know about Smith. Every Smithie will be able to recognize all the letters of this alphabet:

A - Activism.

We fight for what we believe in!

B - Botanic Gardens.

What's better than going to see the bulb shows?

C - CC Cafe.

My mouth is watering just thinking about their chicken tender wrap.

D - Dining Dollars

We only get 25 dollars, but that's enough for at least 4 chicken tender wraps.

E - English

It's the only required part of our Smith education. One sill little writing intensive, and then we are home free to take whatever we choose.

F - Ford Hall

Ford Hall. The building for sciences and engineering is like a study palace. It stays open all night long. As long as you're a science student, or you're friends with a science student, this can be your humble abode. It even has a shower!

G - Grab And Go

They have everything to help your busy lunch time fix. And if they don't... at least there is peanut butter and jelly.

H - Houses

What's a dorm? At Smith, we all live in houses. Most of us have our own rooms, and the house community is incredible. We love our HP's and Res Life. And no, we are all not just one giant sorority.


I - ITT and Ainsworth Gym

J - J Term / Drunk Term

The best time of the year. When you can come back to Smith and actually relax and enjoy everything the college has to offer without the pressure of classes. And maybe have a drink or too with your friends.

K - Kathy (President McCartney)

She's a frig, and we love her (Most of the time). You know it, and I know it.

L - LGBTQ

"The L Word," anyone?

M - Mountain Day

The only day at Smith that I know of that causes actual riots.

N - Neilson Library

During finals, this place is open until 2 A.M. and I just think that is incredible.

O - Otelia Cromwell Day

In honor of Otelia Cromwell, Smith's first African American graduate, there is a whole day of lectures and events. Afternoon classes are canceled, too. That rules.

P - Paradise Pond

A place of peace and serenity for Smithies. This place truly makes our campus great.

Q - Quad

It's beautiful in it's set up, but at night it turns into a battle field of raging Smithies running around the quad. We always see that domino's car driving through come 2 A.M. on a Sunday morning.

R - Rally Day

Seniors wear funny hats and their graduation robes so they can find out their commencement speaker and eat free snacks in the C.C.

S - Sylvia Plath/Sophia Smith

The two great "S" women that Smith is known for.

T - Theater

Smith's Mendenhall is newly refurbished and hosts on so many performances it makes my head spin. Oh, and Josten Library is nice, too.

U - Umbrellas

Because it's not always sunny in Northampton.

V - Viola Davis

Because the magnificent star of "How to Get Away With Murder" will be here at Smith on 3/2 giving a talk.

W - Wifi

Is it e-d-u roam or edu-roam? The world may never know.

X - (Job) X

I know I know. Job X, doesn't start with an X. But where else would you find all of your on-campus and off-campus jobs? This place needed adding to the list.

Y- Yearly Tuition

Shhh. Shhh. Just cry it out. Everything will be okay.

Z - Zipcar

Before I got to Smith, I never even heard of a Zipcar. But there I was first year, renting a Zipcar to drive to the Holyoke Mall. Smith has so many wonderful resources for us. I love Zipcars, to be honest.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
