Football Team? No Way

Does UNCW need a football team? No of course we dont need one, adminstrators at UNCW have been doing just fine for years without dealing with the hassles an added sport would bring. Besides costing huge amounts of money to build a football stadium, there is already enough construction on campus, to add to that would drive current students (myself included) insane. Dont get me wrong, the construction will result in an even more aesthetically pleasing campus, but the noise pollution it brings can sometimes be overwhelming. Also, to build a stadium, there need to be a place to put it, the sports area seems a little crowded to me, i wouldnt know where to begin to look.

Like i said before, financially, i dont think football is the right thing to do right now, we need to focus more on academics rather than sports. Better teaching equipment, nicer desks, and the list goes on. My highschool has better technology than some of the buildings on campus, although the newer buildings are quite tech savvy, im talking about buildings like Morton and Bear.

Finally, having a football team means tailgaiting for students, and tailgating leads to drinking...mass drinking, and mass drinking could potentially lead to deadly riots. These riots could be the result of college kid stupidity when they are drunk and someone could easily be killed. Therefore lowering the reputation of UNCW campus saftey, decreasing popularity and application rates would drop.
So lets wrap this up, my main arguments include:

• Finances
• Construction
• Riots

Those are the reasons why UNCW should not have a football team.

P.S.-I secretly would love a football team

Clean Room

This weekend was a beautiful weekend...if you love rain! Yes, this weekend was not one of the better ones in the time of been in North Carolina. Rain, rain, and more rain, thats what the weekend was like. I even hear some thunder as im writing this. Although, the rain took a break for a while saturday night, and became more like a light mist. I took advantage of this and went to this awesome thai restaurant. Since we dont have a car, we had to walk, but it is well worth it in the end. The food is really good, I ordered pad tsee eww (im pretty sure thats how you spell it) and my friend ordered soup served in what they called a volcano pot. This pot was amazing, it literally looked like a volcano and when it was served to us, fire was coming out of the middle through a metal spout and then there was soup all around that.

Ever since coming to college, I have really been brushing up on my cultural side. I have eaten both mongolian and thai food, the "real" food. By "real," I mean that the food was from and made by the recipients of that country, not made to impersonate it. Both the Mongolian and Thai foos was really good, although the origins of the food are similar each has its own eclectic taste. Curry is a food that made an impact heavily on most asian cuisine. I, myself, am not fond of curry, its too spicy for me, after all it is spices made into soup.

After waking up to a stomach full of asian food, I decided my room neaded to be cleaned. I vacuumed it about an hour ago, and the floors were absolutely disgusting. The vacuum I have is not one of the best, but it is still efficient. I call it the Devil, since its brand name is Dirt Devil. While vacuuming, I noticed it wasnt picking up the obvious stuff on the carpet, and it was annoying me. So, instead, I tried to use the small tube like thing that you use to get corners on the whole carpet. It was demanding but was working until that got clogged by mass amounts of hair...yeah I know thats disgusting. I had to pick it out with my hands and throw it away. Then I saw the other part that wasnt working as well and figured out why it wasnt picking the dirt up...it was also clogged. So then it took me a good five minutes to maneuver the dirt out of the tube. After I was succesful with that, I really got going with my cleaning and now the carpet looks stunning. I can now walk on my carpet with my socks again, all thanks to Devil. =)
