Perspectives

"Best friends are the siblings God forgot to give us," said an anonymous source. What defines friendship? To me, a friend is someone that I can talk to about anything and always depend on when I need someone to pull me through a rough time in my life. A friend is someone that I can act like a complete moron in front of, and (s)he will laugh right along with me.

Accessibility has been an issue for quite some time. Last March Loquitur reported on how accessible Cabrini's campus was for handicapped students. The report showed that many areas around campus were not made with handicapped students in mind. Last year none of the doors that access The Hamilton Family Foundation Wing, which houses Cabrini's communications center, were accessible for the handicapped.

Even though I shared a room comfortably fit for one with two other girls and didn't have the luxury of my own bathroom, I must say, freshman year in Woodcrest wasn't that bad. In fact, it was one of my most memorable college years. I met a lot of new people and formed meaningful friendships.

Hundreds of things to do, thousands of hopes and dreams, a million expectations and about a billion obstacles standing in my way. Where am I going? What am I becoming? Why am I doing all this? Is it for me or is it to meet those expectations that have been forced upon me by everyone else in my life? I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but inside, I just feel lost.

Picture this. You're a college student, and you're hungry. You wander over to the Wigwam in search of a tasty juicy cheese steak only to find out that because it's Ash Wednesday, a Catholic holiday, meat will not be served at all. Then you go on to find out that meat will not be served at all every Friday until Easter.

Why did I choose to come to Cabrini? Well the main reason, I was told of all the resources that I could use. Being an English/communications major, I was told I would be able to use many things such as: the radio studio, the computers in the Mac lab or the Windows lab, the digital cameras, the video editing room and sometimes the video studio.

Ryan Mulloy What can you do online? Last time I checked, you can do just about anything you want and you can do it in a matter of seconds. But let's say, for a second, that the Internet didn't exist. Let's say that there's no such thing as e-mail. Ready for this little exercise? Great.

In college courses, we are continually engaged with other people's ideas: we read them in texts, hear them in lecture, discuss them in class, and incorporate them into our own writing. As a result, it is very important that we give credit where it is due. Plagiarism is using others' ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information.

After reading Catharine Hernson's perspective "Public safety cracks down hard on athletes," I realized that public safety is cracking down on everyone since last semester. You would think that public safety would be harder on the students in the first semester of school since we are just coming back from a three month break and a little more lenient in the second semester.

Applicable location: Cabrini College. Topic: Oh, no he didn't. Have a seat, boys, this could take awhile. It seems as though a large amount of our time as women is expected to be devoted to primping ourselves for the mere satisfaction of your approval.
