The ABC's Of Worcester State

The good, the bad and the ugly.

The ABC's Of Worcester State

A through Z doesn't even cover it. Where to begin? There is nothing more I hate than when I hear people ask what Worcester State has to offer. I wish they knew even half of it.

A

Is for athletics. You can always see Worcester State's athletic teams putting in the hard work around campus and during game time. What I love the most is no matter who you are, you can fit in somewhere. You don't have to play a varsity sport; you could join an intramural team. There are so many to choose from! Most exciting is the new state-of-the-art Wellness Center opening up fall 2016.

B

Is for bingo nights, the most intense of all game nights . I will win eventually! It is a must to attend at least once a year.

C

Is for cookies. The POD cookies are addicting and extremely delicious. Enough said.

D

Is for Dowden Hall. Most freshman reside here. Even though there is no air conditioning and communal bathrooms, it is still one of the best experiences to live there your freshman year. I wish I did.

E

Is for education. We have some of the best teachers here on campus. They are always willing to help us out and go far beyond what is expected of them. Definitely do not hesitate to ask for extra help or go visit during office hours.

F

Is for Frank. If you have ever taken the shuttle or take it quite frequently, then you have most likely taken a ride with Frank. He's an awesome guy, but Frank sure does take you for a ride sometimes. It is always a fun time.

G

Is for Goddard lot, the parking lot we are thankful for but wish we had the space on campus.

H

Is for how well do I need to score on this test to get an A? How well do I need to score to pass? They are few and far between, but there are those teachers. Just like everywhere else, there are a few bad apples.

I

Is for inconvenient fire alarms. Enough said.

J

Is for just one more coffee. Especially in the morning, all coffee locations have lines sometimes out the door, and you have to make the important decision of waiting in line and being late or going without coffee altogether.

K

Is for "Krying." Picture the famous Kim K face when you read this. Tears will be shed, but you will have your amazing friends to help support you through everything throughout the whole year.

L

Is for late night lancers, which are always a fun time. Check them out to see what activity is planned and were and head on down.

M

Is for movie night. More often than not, you will gather with your friends in the common room or in your own room and watch movies all night long. What better way to put off homework and studying.

N

Is for napping. If you can't do it in your room, do it any were you can. No one will judge you.

O

Is for over the semester in a week. That's how long it takes to start hearing it around campus.

P

Is for pizza. The most trusted and edible food in the POD somedays.

Q

Is for quickly running to the mailroom when you receive a package notification. No matter what it is, it is like a mini Christmas.

R

Is for running late. It happens.

S

Is for Sheehan hall. Sheehan is sometimes arguably the best because it houses the cafeteria. On days when weather is bad, you don't have to worry about bundling up or getting soaked from the rain.

T

Is for the May St. building, one of the hottest places on the planet even during the winter. It is so close but so far away.

U

Is for "U" never thought it would be this much work. But it is worth the effort.

V

Is for how very important it is to remember your "one" card. It is the key to everything, so do not lose it under any circumstances.

W

Is for WOO-life. And WOO-state.

X

Is for "Xercise." Burn off some steam or go check out the new Wellness center.

Y

Is for you made the right choice by coming to Worcester State University.

Z

Is for Zzzzzz, the sweet sound of sleep.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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?
