After 3 years in Poughkeepsie, there are certain things you learn and become accustomed to as a Marist student. Whether it is constantly seen on everyone’s Snapchat stories or Instagram feeds, these 26 things help make up life as a Marist Student.

Abroad

Because with over 50% of the student body studying abroad at one point, you either have severe withdrawals right or know how empty campus feels when everyone goes abroad the same semester.

Beck Parking Lot

Capping

Because anyone currently crying in the library or investment center is most likely capping this semester.

Dyson Center

Because it is one of the oldest academic buildings on campus and the only place you can find business students pitching tents trying to get overrides.

Eveready Diner

Because Eveready > Palace

Fake IDs

Graduation

Because graduation means senior week.

Hudson River

Because When the weather is nice and students jump into cross it off their bucket list. (I jumped in the night before Halloween, when it was practically frozen, because the Red Sox won the World Series.)

Irish Pub (Mahoney’s)

Because it's that "senior" bar you can't wait to go to your first few years at Marist.

John Gildard (never forget)

Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight. #seesomethingsaysomething

K&D Deli

Because sometimes Campus Deli is closed.

Lola’s

Because sometimes you need real food and not the dining hall.

Marist Beach

Because freshmen think there is actually a beach on campus...

Netflix

Because is Netflix and chill still a thing?

O’Gills. Darby O’Gills.

Because "Freshman Fridays."

P-ridge (RIP)

Because I feel bad for all those who never got to experience a "late night" CBR.

Queue ball (*cue/Marist Security)

"Hootie Hoo! Hootie Hoo!"

Rossi’s

Because sometimes you need real food and not the dining hall.

Sunsets

Because basic.

Thrifty Cash

Because how else can you get your basic Starbucks every day?

Underpass

Because "It's an underpass, not a tunnel." "No, we do not make your kids walk across Route 9 every day."

Vanderbilt Mansion

Because if you don't take your parents here when they visit do you actually go to Marist? (I have never been here)

Walking Bridge

Because sometimes we like to be fit and walk across the bridge but really just want a cool picture.

Xenodochial (look it up)

Because we have all made friends in the back of a cab coming home one night.

Yellen

Because some people still think DJM is our president...

Zzzz’s

Because whether in class or in your dorm, everyone needs sleep.

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?
