33 Questions I Have For Eastern Illinois University

Chucktown, Chuck Vegas, the Chuck or commonly known as Charleston, Illinois, is a small town that's home to Eastern Illinois University. You can always count on having a good time when visiting or attending school at EIU. Aside from the good times, during my short time here I have developed many questions that I and other students want answers to.

1. Is there purposely multiple bars within 50 yards of campus

2. How are we supposed to say no to trivia Tuesday?

3. Or ladies night, when the bars are only a few steps away?


4. Why do you always close the dining halls on long weekends even though most students are still on campus?

5. Why can't all professors stick to using D2L and not whatever site they want?

6. When are you going to do landscaping to help campus look nice?

7. Will the construction at McAfee ever happen or be finished?

8. What is the newly built wooden structure by the Tarble Arts Center?

9. Why do we spend money on things like that if they rarely get used?

10. Why is it always a struggle to stay connected or connect to the wifi?

11. Can we get rid of the weird MTV music videos played in the dining halls?

12. When are we going to get a Starbucks on campus?

13. Why do I pay so much for a meal plan, but my extra swipes don't roll over into the next week?

14. Why can't the price for lab manuals be covered in textbook rentals?

15. If I get hit by the impatience drivers while walking across 4th street to class will my tuition be free?

16. Can you put more lights on campus so we feel safe walking around campus at night?

17. Why do you lock the side doors of Lantz on Sundays?

18. When are the dining halls going to get better food?

19. When will you start taking care of and maintaining the athletic facilities?

20. Really though have you looked at our soccer field?

21. Or any of the team locker rooms that aren't baseball or basketball?

22. How about the dirty weight room in Lantz?

23. Why does the Rec close at 6 p.m. on Saturdays and doesn't open till 12 p.m. on Sundays?

24. Can tailgating before football games become a thing?

25. Where do all the cats on campus come from?

26. Why does the loud and annoying alarm system have to be tested so many times within one day and during prime napping time?

27. Why don't the dining halls do take-out on the weekends?

28. Can all professors be required to record grades on D2L?

29. Can you pave the panther trail so we don't have to run on gravel?3

30. Can the classrooms be a normal temperature, not a sauna one day and then freezing another?

31. Why does the library close early on weekends?

32. What do you feed the squirrels on campus to make them so wild?

33. Imperfections aside, is there any better place than Chucktown?

I can answer that for you right now: NO.

Like all of you, I'm happy to call this place home away from home!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
