Thoughts On Having No Air Conditioning

About 99% of Cheyney University's student population can relate to the struggles my roommate and I are going through right now, and school hasn't even started yet. What are these struggles? Is it having to carry mini-fridges up stairs because the elevator is out? No. Is it parties going on and not being able to sleep because of the noise? No. The problem is that the air conditioning is broken, and it's 90 degrees outside. Now for some people this might not be a problem. For say, demons from the pits of hell, living in a room on the fourth floor where the only means of ventilation are two small windows that don't open all the way and central air wouldn't be a problem. But we are human, and we are melting like the Wicked Witch of the West up here!

I have been told that there is a part being waited on for the air conditioning to get fixed. But to be honest the reputation maintenance has with most of the people I know here has me thinking this meme is real:

I'm trying to be optimistic here, and I'm hoping that whatever needs to be fixed will be done soon. However, unless it's been a major crisis I've learned the students have to wait for things to be fixed even if affects our quality of life.

I do have to say that in one night I have gained so much more respect for my roommate, who managed to soldier out the night on her bed, while I - being cold blooded as I am - gave up being a puddle of sweat and slept on the cool linoleum in the kitchen. I'm already planning on bringing at least one very big fan back to school with me after labor day weekend. In the mean time, there are a few alternatives I've considered:

Unfortunately, it feels like anything frozen would last 0.5 seconds in this room right now. Heck, I'm barely lasting in this room right now. My only request to maintenance is this:

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
