🚌 HU Shuttle: Grocery Run or Budget Horror Film?
Welcome back, everyone. AliasRZ here—finally—after another long wait.(Yeah… I know. I’ve been juggling school, work, and a sprinkle of good ol’ procrastination. Sue me. 😤) But I’m back—and I want to talk about something that should be helpful… but instead feels like a punishment: the HU Shopping Shuttle. 🛒 Great on Paper, Terrible in Execution So here’s the idea:Every couple of weeks, the university runs a shuttle bus to a nearby shopping plaza so students without cars can grab groceries and supplies.Sounds useful, right? Well… They send one regular-sized yellow school bus—the kind you’d expect to see outside a suburban elementary school.Not a city bus.Not a coach bus.Not a shuttle…

🎓 Professor Problems Pt. 3 The Final Boss
Heyo everybody, it’s me, AliasRZ, back with another post. Today, I wanted to focus on the long-awaited part three and final chapter of The Teachers I Have Problems With at This School. So let’s talk about this teacher.We’ll call him James. Now, James honestly looks like a pretty pleasant guy in his faculty photos. He’s clean-cut, has a friendly smile, and gives off “helpful advisor” vibes. But in practice?He’s a pain to deal with. And not even in a fun, quirky professor way. Just… frustrating. Week 1: And So It Begins Let me paint the scene. It’s the first week of the semester. Everyone’s getting settled. Schedules are kicking in.…

Rant Entry: The Job Market Is Dogshit and I’m Tired
AliasRZ here.Sorry for not writing in a while. I’ve been dealing with the unholy combo of writer’s block and general laziness (lol). Nothing exciting has happened lately… unless you count the slow burn of rejection letters and employment rage. This post isn’t really about HU stuff directly, but honestly? It falls under “Complaints about the Harrisburg Area” so I’m throwing it on the blog. 💼 The Job Hunt from Hell Let me start by asking a serious question: Why is the job market so dogshit? Last year, I applied to jobs using all the “right” platforms—Handshake, LinkedIn, and Indeed. Most of them either: Also, sidenote: I was almost tricked into…

Updates to the site and how we’re moving forward
Good evening, night, morning, whenever you’re reading this entry. I’m AliasRZ, and welcome back to Room Zero. We’ll be focusing on some simple announcements regarding the platform. So, as you can see, we switched themes! We moved from the Jaida theme to the Ashe Theme by WP Royal due to compatibility issues in managing the site. At Room Zero, we dealt with unfortunate limitations that made the site difficult to access, not only for us but also for our viewers, since Jaida is a block theme, and unfortunately, the geniuses at WordPress made it a pain to find themes that didn’t hide or lock necessary features. (No, seriously, there isn’t…

Where Did All the Clubs Go?
AliasRZ here back again, and this time we’re diving into something that should’ve been a strength of student life at HU… but instead feels like a slow-motion collapse. Let’s talk clubs. Before I started Room Zero, I did what many students do: I looked up clubs on the official HU pages. And wow—on paper?We’re stacked. Pretty stacked, right? Well… 💥 The Reality Check None. Not a single hobby group, niche fandom, identity-based collective, or casual social outlet is active right now. Interest Groups Status: 🪦 “No Interest Groups are active at this time.” Let me repeat that: What’s Really Going On? This isn’t just bad luck. It’s a collapse in…

🕳️ Quiet Halls, Empty Lobbies: Where Is Everyone?
Welcome back to another Monday and another week back to the grind at HU. Today, I want to take a second to talk about something that doesn’t get mentioned enough: student life… or the weird lack of it. Ever notice how empty certain areas feel?The library.The ROM first floor.Even the HU lobby. It’s like the building is open—but no one’s home. 🤔 So, what’s going on? I’ve seen people online call it out too—how events come and go with barely a soul showing up. Others say students just don’t leave their dorms, even when things are happening. But honestly? Can you blame them? 😶 And then there’s the people factor……

🚪 ROM’s Front Door Fiasco
Posted by AliasRZ Happy Sunday, everyone. Hope you’re enjoying your last few hours of freedom before classes kick your teeth in again. Today’s rant is dedicated to a recurring issue that just won’t die:The ROM front doors.Yes, those doors. If you’ve been lurking on Discord lately, you’ve probably seen the constant pings begging for someone—anyone to come open the doors. At this point, I wouldn’t be shocked if someone gave up and tried to dropkick their way in. Honestly? I’d respect it. And no, this isn’t some new, temporary issue.This has been happening since last year.Let that sink in. You’d think someone—anyone—would’ve fixed it by now, but clearly, we’re asking…

The Struggle is Real: When Professors Make It Worse Part 2
AliasRZ here—back again and ready to rant. Hope you didn’t miss me too much. 😌 Let’s talk math. Now I’ll be real with you—it’s not my strongest suit. And yeah, I know what you’re thinking: “You’re in a STEM school and struggling with math?” Well guess what, that’s exactly why I’m taking math classes—to learn, not to suffer. 🎓 Enter Mr. “Dave” On the surface, Mr. Dave’s a pretty chill guy. Seems nice enough. But let’s be honest—being nice isn’t enough when students across multiple years, Discord servers, and even Rate My Professors are waving red flags like it’s a parade. Let’s break it down: Oh—and this class only meets…

HU Professors Who Make College Harder Than It Needs To Be
Heya everybody, it’s me AliasRZ back again and ready to rant. College is already a headache. Assignments, deadlines, trying to stay sane. But some professors really go out of their way to make it worse. I’m not naming names for obvious reasons, but I’ve dealt with three so far that pushed me right to the edge. Let’s start with Mr. “Angelo”. He’s the type who thinks dropping F-bombs every other sentence makes him cool and relatable. Like a middle schooler who just discovered swearing and can’t shut up about it. I’m not against casual language. It’s college, not church. But after the fifteenth unnecessary one it just gets old and…

📦 HU Mailroom Situation: ROM vs PA Place, Which One Sucks Less?
Well, welcome back, everyone, to Room Zero. It’s me, AliasRZ, here again with another post about the HU Experience.To keep the platform active, I’ve got something that needs to be talked about: the mailroom situation.Simply put? It’s annoying as hell, especially depending on whether you’re stuck in PA Place or ROM. ROM First (Because Of Course It’s Worse) It’s a mess. Packages have to go to the main school building first (because why not complicate things), and then you just wait. You hope the unpaid RAs actually dig through the mailroom, find your name, and hand over your stuff. But you can’t just grab it whenever. Nope. You have to…
