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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
