If Going Back To Villanova Means Carrying A Portable Chair Everywhere, Count Me In

The creative solution we didn't know we needed.

As many of you probably already know, Villanova recently released their Health and Safety plan for return to campus in the fall. It seems that students focused in on one hot topic: the portable chair situation. So, let's address it.

In my humble opinion, the portable chair plan is brilliant. It is a creative solution to a multi-faceted and constantly evolving problem.

Just picture it...

Freshmen, it's a beautiful day in your brand new chair on the sand of the beach volleyball court outside of McGuire. Close your eyes, and it's almost like you're down the shore.

Attention sophomores. Quad bools are going to be on a whole new level. Enough said.

Juniors. Looking to furnish your new apartment? Whether it be courts, commons, west, or props, no need to fear the portable chairs have you covered. Maximize space and save money with this new affordable option.

Seniors. Commencement. 2021. BYOC.

In all seriousness though, Villanovans should be thankful our administration has put time into formulating creative options to bring us on campus in the fall. Many students are not as lucky as us and will have to continue learning behind a screen or interacting with peers and faculty virtually. The Health and Safety plan was formulated with careful thought keeping the health of all Villanovans as first priority while still encouraging on-campus events that will maintain the community we all love. I don't know about you, but if going back to Villanova means carrying a portable chair, count me in!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
