The ABC's Of Worcester State

The good, the bad and the ugly.

34
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.

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!
