I would love to create a talk show on Queen's U Radio, discussing the general view of life as a Queen's student and miscellaneous. But the blog is where I'll begin my campaign for incessant nagging and obnoxious rambling and ranting against the very society and structure we hold dear to us: Queen's life and all that it engulfs.
Queen's is a joke. Let's not beat around the bush here, this place fucking blows. And if Queen's was to be an actual "Joke", it wouldn't be fuckin' funny... It would be the type your dad tells at the dinner table to his friends with a really dry sense of humour. The school is in the process of reconstructing its campus, which, if all goes well, should no doubt be completed on schedule in the year 2065. That shit storm of a construction site behind Vik hall was supposed to be completed 2 weeks ago, just like University and Union were supposed to be completed in September, but was done RIIIIGHHTT before exams.
The only thing that keeps this place refreshing, appreciated, and enjoyable is the student body. The parties, the organizations (which even I think can be fucking ridiculous at times), and the social gatherings. This place is a fucking write-off for us; most of us dick around all day in class, do some readings, then get hammered in the last three days of the week. It's an ongoing vacation with some work to do.
So I'll get this straight for you... This is my first post and it's not going to be as interesting as when I begin to have better things to post. Aside from the obnoxious egocentric professors who probably need to get laid a little more, the Queen's Journal which attempts to be so fucking melodramatic and over-exaggerates every little detail to make Queen's news seem SO much more interesting than it is, aside from that which is called QCard (the bane of my freakin' existence... What kind of blind retarded Norwegian douchebag invented that shit!?), the lack of alcoholic cheers that the Gaels can no longer chant and the lack of drinking encouraged on frosh week (shout outs to the fucking assmunchers that came up with cheer cheer cheer instead of beer. FAAACCKKK YOOOUUUU) it may not be so bad here. Aside from the poor lack of communication between departments, registrar, and faculties who can't get their heads out of their asses that we pay good money for tuition and more, aside from the StuCon's who just LOVE to take what little fun is left out of EVERYTHING, aside from the terrible shit we woof down our throats in the cafeteria, and later poop it out still exactly as we ate it (perhaps a little discoloured), and aside from the distance of God damn West University, i guess it's not so bad here. Aside from being so severely overbudget and seemingly not giving a shit, I guess the actual structure and stability of Queen's is not so bad.
Oh wait, I guess that leaves next to nothing?
.........At least we can smoke on campus!

Not to be picky, but the construction on University was actually finished during exams. I went into my POLS exam, barriers were up. Within those few hours, barriers were down and I almost got hit crossing the street. It's really just a small addition to the already satiric narrative
On the positive side of things, I am seeing a great improvement in the technological side of things at queens. We have a better email server with a new innovation of the file server data sharing. We also have better organized websites for the AMS which allows easier access to information. I've definitely also seen an improvement in the communication between the ASUS department and its attempt to reach out to the student body on information about student awards, clubs nights, events around campus that is summarized in a new Queen's Agenda. At the end of the day, the most vital parts like our education and access to information matters over things like construction and the Queen's Journal making a sad attempt to inform students on events around campus. The good is starting to outweigh the bad, finally!
Perhaps you are right. But when you look at the overfilled residences, the constantly shrinking course selection, and the steady decrease in faculty; I find it extremely fucking hard to believe that the most vital parts like our education aren't in jeopardy. The priority of the university is to make money, I'm starting to think they don't give a shit about our education.
