30 Things EKU Students Can Relate To
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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
