Our Little Uni Just Grew a Bit

The big news this past week is that Webster is growing. Webster University acquired five acres from Eden Seminary, as well as the Wherli Center, The Luhr Library, and the “White House”. Obama was not available for comment.


The first thing that comes to mind is more parking. When I realized this I began to dance around my apartment with an unthwarted glee. But looking at its location, it’s not really gonna help that problem. The only way that could happen is if we acquired Narix. Which I’m all for, cause I almost hit a schoolgirl every day (I know, I should gas it, they’re worth 50 points, but still…).


But then, I read this: “The University will also lease Eden's athletic fields for recreation and intramural sports for seven years”. I really hope they sink some money into the fields, because sports are a great way to bring a school together. But having to drive to other fields for soccer and freakin Illinois for baseball really hurts the team. If we played just a walk across Lockwood, it could really improve the student attendance at the games. 


Plus, I already made this…

Yay pipe dreams…

CHECK IT OUT!

Latent Image, the photography club at Webster University, will be holding a 2 day print sale to raise money for its spring semester. Come out to browse and buy photographic prints from students and staff at Webster. These prints will make great holiday presents.

University Center Common Area

Tuesday December 15th from 11am to 7pm.
Wednesday December 16th from 11am to 7pm.

The average price of the prints should be about $20. All prints will be approximately 8x10 or 11x14 and matted.

I think it’s a great idea. You’re doing a little holiday shopping and supporting Webster photography students. You’ve seen their work all over campus—and if I don’t say so myself their work always looks hella’ good.

Make time for this during finals week

This is it! Last week of the semester and is it ever so stressful. Good thing there’s Zumba classes and FREE massages AND food! I said it.. Zumba! Massages! Food!

When & Where:

Zumba Exercise Class – Monday, Dec. 14th at 9:30 p.m. in the Sunnen Lounge

Free Massages – Monday, Dec. 14th from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. in the Sunnen Lounge (Sign up at the UC Info Desk)

Free Food – Tuesday, Dec. 15th at 9:30 p.m. in the Library Conference Room

Now.. I’m not exactly sure what Zumba exercising is, but it sounds awesome. The name alone makes me want to go.

So kids.. take a breather--- Webster is helping ya’ out and trying to make life a little less stressful during this hell week. Hopefully you heard about this sooner so you get a good time for a free massage.

Good luck to everyone on their finals!

Festive.

Totally Stoked this semester is at an end,

also stoked that we made you as a friend.

So this holiday we want to bring the cheer,

if you see your boy St. Nick, I know he digs beer.

(That's my cute Xmas way of saying, since my name is Nick, you can give me beer as an Xmas gift. Or Hanukkah gift. Kwanzaa gift. Holiday gift. You might not even know me, so then mentally "wish" me a beer for Xmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Holiday....gotta stay PC during these festive times).

Happy Winter Break from all of us.

We made you friutcake but........Matt ate it all.

XOXO.

This is kind of a big deal.. for seniors at least.

With everything going on it’s hard to remember all the little stuff you need to do in order to graduate. Of course, making an appointment with your advisor is always a good start.

If you’re a senior you totally need to make a list of “things to do so I can get outta’ here!”

On my list I have:

Internship credit
Internship approval—I think there’s some paper work Webster needs in order to give you credit.
Appointment with advisor— to make sure I have all required classes and fulfilled categories 1, 2, and 3. My advisor is the bomb, but I am so paranoid about graduating on time and making sure everything is okay that I make 23409234 appointments with him.. I take up quite a portion of his time, but it’s better to be safe than sorry!
Books (sigh.. so much $) then remembering to return them (yay! I get ¼ of the money back I spent on the books?! Pshh! )
My credit hours from other schools—to make sure they transfer over smoothly, certainly don’t want any last minute problems jeopardizing my graduation!
Passing all my classes

And.. most importantly

PETITION TO GRADUATE

Yes, this a small yet IMPORTANT sheet of paper that needs to be filled out in order for you to walk the walk. Just get it over with, fill it out, and turn the thing in. It’s really easy to do, but even easier to forget about.

Here’s the link—download it, print it off, fill it out.. and turn this sucker in.
