Parking struggles, two hour delays, and poor WiFi are only the beginning.

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.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

It's so rude that we have finals.

1. When you look at your finals schedule and become immediately overwhelmed:

2. When your professor says that the final is only going to be short answer questions:

3. When you text your parents to tell them that you're going to have a mental breakdown and drop out of college and they're just like:

4. When you're trying to study with friends, but then you realize that you haven't gotten anything done:

5. Then you just end up going on your phone.

6. When you're two weeks away from finals and your professor tells you that you should probably start studying now:

7. When you sit down to take your final and the first question hits you like:

8. When you start the practice problems and you're just like:

9. When you're in your final and find a question that you actually know the answer to:

10. When that one annoying kid in your class says that the final was super easy and they aced it:

11. When you come back from your 7:30 a.m. final and crash:

12. When your professor tries to teach you new material a week before the final:

13. When you decide to eat away the pain that is finals week by ordering massive amounts of food:

14. Filling out course evaluations for that one difficult professor like:

15. When it's right before your first final and you're just like:

16. When your professor tells that you the final is cumulative:

17. When the kid next to you keeps looking over at your test:

18. Looking back on the outfits that you wore during finals week like:

19. When it's been two hours and you've only gotten through five notecards:

20. When you finally make it to the end of the week:
