15 Things All Eastern Michigan University Students Get Nostalgic Over

"I have a class on the sixth floor of Pray Harrold? Gross."

Ah, Eastern Michigan University. There's something on this campus for everyone - and I think that we all can relate to the following list in one way or another. Here's to you, fellow Eagles!

1. You crave Einstein's whenever it isn't open.

It's 8 p.m., I've had a long day, and now all I want is a nice bagel with some shmear. But no, I'll have to wait til the morning because apparently, Einstein's doesn't understand that some kids just can't function some days...and I have poor diet choices.

2. When you do want food from the Marketplace, you just can't bring yourself to walk there.

To you kids in The Towers, though you may be farther away from your classes and the rest of the EMU population, you do have the luxury of this fine establishment right next to you.

3. When you're halfway through the semester and you STILL get lost on your floor in Pray Harrold searching for your class.

Shout out to the guy who shared an elevator with me, walked the complete opposite direction of me, but then ended up in the same class as me. I feel ya, dude.

4. "Oh, an email notification! Maybe it's that professor putting grades in - Oh, nope, just Geoff Larcom."

The man, the myth, the legend. Though 99 percent of us may never see him in person, he always seems to be watching us. You may not hear from him for weeks at a time, or you may receive five emails in a row from him all pertaining to completely different topics. Either way, thanks Mr. Larcom, for keeping us informed on all things EMU.

5. Have something to print before class? Better go 45 minutes before class starts!

Folks, in case you didn't know of the genius innovation that is Papercut, then here is my gift to you! Skip the line and upload the document from your computer to have it go straight to the printer! Also, if you know the line is backed up for a certain printer, then try getting to the one in Porter or Sill -- there's typically never a line for those two!

6. Ypsi the Clown

...need I say more?

7. GRILLED CHEESE FRIDAY!

Thank you, Commons, for making all students come out of their dorms after a long week of studying/binge watching something on Netflix for this weekly holiday.

8. Whether or not you like their species, you're always down to see an EMU squirrel.

They eat out of your hands, scare the daylights out of you when they climb on your window, and they have a Twitter to make your days a little brighter!

9. When Tapingo won't let you order from the one place you wanted food from.

It's not often I want a greasy burger and extra fries, so why did this have to happen this one time?

10. But you still know that no matter what, Tapingo is your lifesaver.

"If my next class is in 20 minutes, Tapingo says my food will be ready in six, then that gives me about 12 minutes to get to class and shovel as much food as I can before the other kids start to give me dirty looks for how quickly I inhaled my food."

11. You're a resident coming back to campus on a Sunday night? Good luck finding parking over in Green Lot.

*scoping out available spots that are far back, yet staying optimistic to find one miraculously in the front*

12. When you leave campus, you have a slight feeling that the potholes just damaged your tires...

...and a piece of your soul is damaged, too.

13. Going to study at the library only to find that your "study spot" is taken.

You then realize that you are staring at this human being maliciously and should probably walk away before they notice.

14. When you're walking in the dark and feel someone walking close behind you, all to realize it's just SeeUs.

Thank you, kind people in yellow, for walking with me to make sure I get back to my building safe!

15. Without Starbucks on campus, we'd all probably be unmotivated and exhausted all the time.

Don't ever get rid of our place of sanity, Eastern.

If you mumbled "me" under your breath to these, then you're not alone, because all EMU kids go through this together. Nonetheless, this place is home for many. Thanks Eastern Michigan University, for changing lives everyday. Have a great year, folks! Go Eagles!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.
