EKU

Between parking struggles, Powell movement, visitation hours, and the naked man, there are some things only an EKU student would understand.

1. Attempting to stay connected to WiFi and getting kicked off in the middle of taking a Blackboard quiz.

2. You blew through your meal plan within the first two months.

3. Everyone attended the Homecoming parade no matter the weather conditions.

4. The main reason you attended City Fest was to score all the free stuff.


5. You never passed up the opportunity to receive a free t-shirt.

6. If you only have a 30-minute break in between class; that’s totally enough time to stop by DSP, take a quick nap, and make it to class on time.

7. You only made the mistake of buying your books on campus once. Then you discovered buying elsewhere was much cheaper.

8. The naked man is the best meeting spot before going to Powell with your friends.

9. Plus, EKU is the only place it's acceptable to say, “Let's meet at the naked man.”

10. Chances are likely you will never find parking besides in Lancaster and Alumni. Even that is a stretch.

11. Two hour delays are the absolute worst.

12. The best time to go to USP is on Spotlight days.

13. You may think residential parking is the worst, but anyone who has been a commuter would have to disagree.

14. When they close half the alumni parking lot for the game, commuters might as well take the day off.

15. Walking to any printer on campus and always reading “toner low” or “error.”

16. The day after Homecoming will always be the hardest.

17. Waving at Big World when you see him off campus.

18. Never escaping the “Hateful Preacher man” when he visits every semester.

19. Debating whether it’s worth going off campus to get food and losing your parking spot or just settling for Powell.

20. That moment you received princess parking.

21. Random acoustic guitar players outside of Powell and Case.

22. That one kid who buys everyone Starbucks at the end of the year because somehow they have leftover flex.


23. Trying to find out if the “Blue Lady” really lives in Keen Johnson.

24. Taking a break from classes and going to “Jigg.”

25. Walking past all of Wylie Caudill’s chalk work and being amazed at how he did it.

26. That one kid on the unicycle.

27. The disappointment when you’re up late at the library craving coffee and Java City is closed.

28. Constantly receiving parking tickets and never getting them appealed. (Sometimes its worth the fine rather than the walk.)

29. The EKU Super fan.

30. Being forever thankful for all the memories you received by attending EKU.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
