As mentioned in my intro, I'm a student at West Virginia University. For those who are unfamiliar, it's the largest university in America's shittiest state. I got my undergraduate degree from here in accounting and finance, now I'm pursuing an MBA. I've always had the "businessman" mentality- just ask anyone from my childhood neighborhood... I was always trying to make a few bucks.
WVU is a blast. Hands down. We Mountaineers have this reputation of "hard partying" and the desire to kiss our first cousins. Well, not the second part so much, but we fucking party. Most of my posts will be stories and opinions I have from my time here. Recently, during a long, miserable, and unbareable cold spell, I've come to especially loathe WVU.
I will regularly post about things I like, dislike, and plainly believe are inherently stupid about WVU. This specific post will be dedicated to one of it's downsides.
THE BAD:
WVU is built upon mountainous terrain. It is also divided into two campuses. This makes the overall university EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT. For the past couple weeks, temperatures have teetered between -10 and 20 degrees... without windchill... on a daily basis. Add in an inconceivable amount of snow, and you have one major CLUSTERFUCK.
I start my days leaving at 8:15 AM, to return many hours later at 5 PM. Yesterday, on a morning where we received even more snow, I decided to trek to class... because, well, WVU doesn't cancel. We could have extreme weather like that in the movie, The Day After Tomorrow, to the point Dennis Quaid would look outside and say, "fuck it- I'm staying in", and WVU would send all its students an email saying, "What up bitches, classes will resume today, but PLEASE, PLEASE, take precaution." Umm, for reallllzzz? And if you aren't one of those lucky bitches whose professor took the initiative to cancel class on a clearly unsafe school day... good luck getting to class. Hope you don't die.
So, I started walking. It's a 10 minute walk to my classes. My time doubled because none of the sidewalks were clear. A black bear probably couldn't have navigated its way safely down the massive hill I live on. I slipped several times, but gracefully maintained my stature. It was halfway down my walk, after passing several 4 wheel drive vehicles struggling on the treacherous roads, that I caught myself mid-fall and chipped my tooth. It's not a bad chip by any means, but I noticed it, and I fucking love my teeth. I had braces for two painful years, whiten the shit out of them, and I use them to chew my food several times a day. They're at the top my "best qualities" list.
Should I send the bill that I'm inevitably going to incur to correct my gorgeous, chipped tooth to WVU or the city of Morgantown? WVU for blatantly putting students in danger going to class... And the city for being completely incompetent in their ability to clear public roads and sidewalks. I will not stand for this. Will I attend the next city council meeting? No. Will I write the university President? No. What I will do is tweet and blog my anger, for all you bitches to read. If Morgantown put as much effort into snow removal as they did ticketing and towing, I could probably drive a Lambo up 3rd Street on any given day during the winter months. It's fucking ludicrous.
But hey, shout out to all you southern bitches crying about weather in the 40's. Seriously, choke on a massive, frozen dicksicle. Nobody from up here in bumfucked WV care to hear your incessant cries of stupidity.
