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.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
