The Memorial Union Is The Focal Point For Every ASU Student

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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
