The ABC's of Winthrop University

Eagle pride in 26 letters.

77
The ABC's of Winthrop University

A- All Student Announcements

Who actually reads these every day? *keeps scrolling*

B- Big Stuff

Do you really even go to Winthrop if you don't have a picture on Instagram of you posted up with our mascot?

C- Common Time

AKA rush hour on campus. Avoid Thomson, Scholar's, and any major crosswalks.


D- Diversity

You're exposed to everything at Winthrop. We definitely pride ourselves on our diversity.

E- Eagle Express

When you're craving a midnight snack but everything else is closed.

F- Fire, Fire

It's always lit at Burger Studio.

G- Greek Life

Alpha, beta, chi, delta ... No matter what you rush, find a family.

H- Homecoming

Tailgating, basketball, lots of events throughout the week... What could be better?

I- ICONIC

Speaking of homecoming... We haven't forgotten about that concert.

J- Joining every club at Convocation...

K- ...Knowing you can't handle all of that.

Oops.

L- Legion

Basically Narnia.

M- Midterms

Whyyyyyyyyyyy?

N- Nametags

It's a rite of passage here. Once you get one, you get some street cred. But they're also pretty addicting.

O- Orientation Leaders

They're basically your first BFF at Winthrop.

P- Preview Days

AKA - you KNOW Thomson is gonna be on point!!

Q- Quiet Hours

Everyone's favorite part of community living.

R- Resident Assistant

They're your parents away from home. They support you at your lowest and humble you up at your highest. They're always there to listen to you and give you good advice. But sometimes they're just embarrassingly crazy.

S- Scholar's Walk

Grab your Eno and your bae during spring and snuggle under the stars... But just make sure you avoid it during Common Time. (PS - Can you find the proposal brick?)

T- Tillman

That fourth floor haunted tour, though....

U- Using an alternate route to avoid running into certain people.

Why else do you think there are four different ways to get to DiG's? ...Okay, so maybe it's not for the same reason, but we'll go with it.

V- Very loud upstairs neighbors

I may or may not have broken an umbrella by beating on the ceiling, telling the people above me to keep it down.... Not sorry about it.

W- Winthrop Worms

Speaking of umbrellas, better keep it over you in the spring cause if not, you'll find little green worms everywhere.

X- Crosswalks

WAIT.

Y- Yelling at the cars that don't stop for you to cross

Hate to break it to you, but the whole "I dare you to hit me, I'll get free tuition" thing only applies if its a campus-operated vehicle.

Z- ZZzzzzzz

Better go to sleep at a decent time tonight. Don't you have class tomorrow?

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
