BeeHive an asset to campus
From the
Editor
I dOD't wan( to seem like I'm beating a dead horse here, but! bave
to say agaiD how much I love the BeeHive. I thiiik it’s the best thing that
could have hai^ned to the Meredith ('ollege community.
Granted, I getobsessive aboutcertain things at first. I'm the type that
sees a movie in the theater three times, listens to a new song over and over
until she hates it (anything by theCouniing Crows being case in point), and spends all her BeeBucks
two days after she gets them.
fiutldon’tlhinkray love for the Beeilive is merely admiration of something new.And,altliough
I love Chick-Fil-A as much as the next lemonade-addicied person, it’s not tlie food selection that
makes it great, either.
The BeeHive has the exceptional ability to bring students togcilier. Both commuters and
residents nock to the snack bar, grab something to eat, and settle like locusts on tlie tables and couches
in Cate Center. Wliere there used to be only the sounds of hushed conversations, there’s now almost
an unbearable din. I love iL
I'hat kind of community is something I always felt Meredith was lacking. No one liangs out in
tlie courtyaid, or in the dorm parlors, or even ui the dining hall longer Uian it takes to fmish a meal.
Studaits hang in the dorms, but that is very exclusive. Roommates stick with roommates, and
suites and halls stick together. Aside from classes, there’s no real OK*ortunity to branch out, to meet
new and diff»'ent people.
The BeeHive has given us that opportunity. Sure, the big-screen television helps, as docs the
computer lab, but nothing brings people together like food. It’s great to sit witli classmates or
acquaintances and converse over a bagel or wafile fries. I think it gives us a place wliere anyone can
go to meet friends, study, and relax. And that, my friends, is what a student center should be.
