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.

P-ridge (RIP)

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

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
