Dormitory

I hail from a very small town (roughly 2000 people) called Walkerton in northern Indiana. My adventure started my junior year of high school. It was at this time I decided that I wanted to major in film production in college. In Indiana there is really no school that is well known for film, and I knew in order to take this career decision seriously I needed to head to California. It was after this realization that my girlfriend, a senior, mentioned she was considering Azusa Pacific University.…

Living in a resident hall can be a taxing thing for some students. The origin of their struggle can sometimes lie in the dullness and sterile, cramp feel of their dorm room. But resident life doesn’t have to feel that way. With a little creativity and a few simple steps, resident students can transform their standard issued space into a personalized abode. Brittany Weaver, a sophomore biblical and theological studies major and a resident assistant at Foster Residence hall, said utilizing a…

video. The sound of the movie video roars like an airplane taking off. Despite the smell of the clothes, untidiness and loud noises, I appreciate every feature of this place. It might not be obvious to you, but this place was my room in the Memorial Dormitory. It was the place where I have…

What’s one of the most nerve racking things about looking into college? Finding a place to stay of course! Going to college for almost any student can get expensive. A good portion of students who are in school are living on a strict budget. When searching for a place to live, some things to keep in mind are commute, rent price, and setting aside money for food. There are many options for living, but for now we’ll focus on four: renting an apartment, a dorm, fraternity/sorority housing, or even…

Laundry does not seem like a big issue until you are not able to wash clothes in a timely manner. In the Olive residence hall, all residences share a laundry room on the ground floor. With around 15 washers and 25 dryers to share between 429 students, there are bound to be some problems. Given that all of the machines are working, this provides a very limited amount of time and space for everyone to properly clean their clothes. My experience has included people moving my clothes with out my…

God is my Guide When first going through the processes of deciding where to attend college, packing up most of my belongings and moving to a new place with all new people that were so different from where I grew up, I felt exactly like the description in Learn for the Love of God when it says, “I only knew that something exciting and a little terrifying was beginning” (Opitz and Melba 2). My actual expectations for the University of Northwestern, St. Paul were few, but my worries, questions and…

From the time I was very young I had my future planned out. My major and career have changed a few times since then. I am now planning on studying athletic training in college and becoming an athletic trainer. I have researched the University of Georgia, Georgia College and State University, Mercer University, and University of North Georgia and have also gone over their positives and negatives. University of Georgia has many great aspects and very few negatives. Most importantly UGA has a very…

We all the known supermarket/retail store, Target. Target is not the most popular but it also really never has a bad image. Target is some ones “back-up” store. Or at least in my experience. This commercial that I will be talking about is a enjoying, entertaining, short, Target ad. First the commercial started out with two teenage girls that seem to not know each other, it is their first time meeting. The setting is taken place in a small college dorm room that has brand new college supplies…

Some like it, many hate it, but one thing has remained a constant at UAFS since it opened its doors in 1928, which is its status as a “dry” campus. A dry campus simply means that the possession and/or consumption of alcohol is prohibited on campus grounds, regardless of age. Some argue that having a dry campus that many students are being put at risk because of the University policies that urge students to leave campus when it comes to drinking. It has been said that Universities that choose to…

Atwood Narrative As the leaves bristle and the thin sheets of wind intrude through the slender opening of the window of the bus, sat a grey backpack with a variety of stickers scattered onto the fabric in diverse figures and colors, each giving the dull backpack a sense of flare. Besides the backpack displayed a boy sitting on a cold, leather seat, crossing his arms, a picture of his grandfather-who served in Camp Grant, now called Atwood- clenched tightly against his chest. “Now reaching…
