The Memorial Union Is The Focal Point For Every ASU Student

For incoming freshmen, the Memorial Union will become your best friend and for all upperclassmen, it should be.

The Memorial Union Is The Focal Point For Every ASU Student

The MU (Memorial Union) at Arizona State University is the place on campus that is a safe haven for students. The Memorial Union has a Pitchforks, which is basically another dining hall that all students can use their meal swipes on; plus, other dining options like Qdoba, Chick-fil-A, Burger King, Pei-Wei, and much more.

The Starbucks takes precedence over everything else though. As a college student we can all relate, and anyone that doesn't... welcome to college, you'll get used to it. You know I probably shouldn't be having caffeine at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but we all need something to propel us through the afternoon slump, especially when you have a study session at 5 o'clock for your final.

Also, to anyone how says Q-Doba is basically just like Chipotle they are right, but I'm not complaining because when you get to the point when you're studying 6 hours before an exam you need a burrito, I'm sorry but there's no way around it.

The P.O.D. Market at the MU is actually pretty good because they have Kombucha (if you don't like Kombucha that's OK, just read ahead), but trust me they have the good stuff. A Synergy Kombucha and a Middle-Eastern Wrap is the perfect thing to trick yourself into thinking you're healthy and totally didn't eat a pint of ice cream the day before, but that's OK.

Another great thing about the MU is all the study spaces it has. It's honestly one of the best places to study, right behind the tutoring center and the library. The lounge over by the Pitchforks is by far the best spot in the MU because it's the most comfortable place to sit and read or have coffee.

If there's anything going on at the Tempe campus, most likely it'll be in or around the MU. Whether it's a career fair, cultural fair, pride, club fair, etc. there gonna be at the MU. There's always something going on, which makes it the place to be on campus.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
