Where do we go next?

If someone asked me to paint a picture of Thayer Hall, or possibly how to get there...this is what I would come up with. For new students and for anyone else that has no idea how to get through Academic Hall, Thayer is confusing. There are signs pointing left and right and until you walk back and forth about 3 times, you finally realize that it's just one big circle. And what about the Academic Hall stairwell? You can take the elevator down to floor one, but instead of walking the stairs down to floor one, you are forced to come out on floor 2 and take the grand stairs to the lobby. How many Freshman or new students do you think have walked down those stairs just to see how far it takes them before they have to walk back up again? Maze I tell ya...

Elevators are irritating...

Although my posts about elevators and food in Lawrence are extremely repetitive, I need to further address the fact that elevators are by far the most irritating thing at Point Park University. I believe that the Dean, or some representative of higher authority should implement a rule that disables anyone from the 6th floor down,(unless you have the occasional ladder or a food cart) to ride the elevator. We all are young, able-bodies with perfectly functioning legs(for the most part), therefore stairs are put there for a reason. The elevator continues to stop on every floor from 20 down, and it does not help keep you on time for class when you have that clown that takes the elevator down from floor three to floor one. The cafeteria is located on floor three, there should be no excuse for not walking two flights of stairs, especially after the 6,000 calorie meals that they are feeding us. Exercise is good for the body, let's practice good habits and use our legs. Americans are stereotyped as lazy, let's help prove them wrong.

Advertising in a flash...

So I have noticed that this banner right outside of the Cafe is changed about every hour of every day. Okay, so I'm exaggerating a little bit, but it must be changed every few days. How are they ever supposed to advertise for something if nobody even gets a chance to read the sign? Last week it was the business idea, the next day it was WEST PAC internships, the next day it was something about something else, and now there is a pointless banner that threatens you to listen to WPPJ. What's next? A banner recruiting potential food providers other than Aramark? I hope so...

At least they look kind of cool...

Well, although these Point Park shuttles look pretty innovative with the crazy new designs, it is a shame that no one can even see out of them from the inside. Maybe they should have made them a little less tinted for safety issues? Drivers backing up into things may not be the best way to keep us on our budget. Or maybe just to give the athletes the ability to see out of them when they are bored on the 30-minute ride to their "home" fields. The sky walk seems to have the same problem and now students can barely view the city from the second floor. The sky walk and its view is one of the most exciting things at Point Park, (well besides the taco bowls in the cafeteria) and if they take that away...what do we have? Struggling athletic records and people in tights? Well hey, at least the designs kind of look cool from the outside right...

Which one is it?

If you use the computers on Point Park's campus often, then I'm sure you are familiar with this Point Park logo and the slogan, "Get There." I'm not really sure what "get there" is pertaining to...but I guess it works? There is also the new slogan: Point Park University, "The metamorphosis of me." This one is plastered all over prospective student brochures and of course on the shuttles with the hippie designs and creepy faces. Where are we getting to? And since we have two slogans all of a sudden, which one is it?

St. Patty's Day

So I Youtubed St.Patty's day, this is one of the first things that popped up...which is kind of strange...I'm sure there aren't many people reading this because you are probably outside at the parade or heavy into your root beer at this time in the day. Happy St. Patrick's Day everybody! Be careful and watch out for those crazy Irish.

Point Park...
