10 Things You're Really Missing About West Chester University Right Now

If you are a West Chester University student, like myself, then you are probably counting down the days (or minutes) until you are back roaming the streets of West Chester. It has been way too long since you hauled yourself to that dreaded class in Main and too many Friday nights have passed without you stumbling down walnut's deadly sidewalks in search of friends, pizza, or both.

Three weeks remain until syllabus week. Here are some typical WCU things you'll be missing until then.

1. A quad full of familiar faces on a Wednesday at 2:00 p.m.

2. And those guys doing Parkour.

3. Chris's, Riggtown, Amore. (Whatever, I believe all pizza is created equally.)

4. Almost getting hit by a car on Church Street and always hoping it's a West Chester bus (because then, duh, free tuition).

5. The impending anticipation of Homecoming.

6. Two words: Food. Trucks.

7. Crowded High Street on a Saturday night.

8. That one guy who holds the door open at Main for a solid 10 minutes.

9. Ending a good work out on the terrace at the Rec. (Don't forget your T-Shirts... How long is this no tanks thing going to last?)

10. John (from Einsteins), Diner Dan, Baker Bob, that lady at Classic Comforts in Lawrence always calling everyone baby.

So, in these final weeks, relax and enjoy, nap freely and without responsibilities, and dream of the possibilities of Fall '16. See you soon, fellow Rams.

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.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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?
