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.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
