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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

You're gonna make it after all.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
