Now that Humans of Marist College has been revamped, I figured I'd join in and shed some light on the most notorious humans among us, the celebs. You've seen them around campus. You know their name, their story, or at least their face. No, word has it they will not be at the Oscars -- nor will they be boycotting. They simply weren't invited but, nevertheless, they are still celebrities. In fact, they are our very own and very favorite celebs. Who are they, you ask? Heroes masquerading as common folk on our campus, that's who. Leaders of a movement they never even realized they started (the DJM selfie, the John Gildard cult following during winter months, etc. etc.).
1. DJM.
Please don't leave us. Please.
2. These two adorable women in the caf with Italian accents.
Never change, xoxo. (They're also best friend goals).
3. SHOOTER the fox.
The world's only domestic fox.
4. Runner girl.
I don't care if she graduated, her legacy lives on forever in the hearts of all who knew her.
5. Whoever your OLs were.
Be honest, you remember exactly who they were.
6. These guys.
Merry Christmas, ya' filthy animals.
7. Your favorite RA.
8. Deb DiCaprio.
9. Every athlete who's ever been on your table's napkin box.
Who are you? Did I invite you to eat lunch with me? Why do you keep staring at me?
10. Bro Frank.
Second only to Jesus.
11. The early morning crew (no, like, literally).
Hanging on high school counselor's walls across America.
12. John Gildard.
Smiling because he's about to give you a snow day.
13. And last, but not least, my personal favorite -- the iLearn gang.
This lady will never see the hand raised in the back of the room, this student will forever be stranded in the library with her unfinished coffee, and these boys will never complete their group project. These poor, poor ghosts of Marist past..
Honorable mentions
That lady who works in the caf and always laughs at her own jokes, but you never really get it so you just smile and nod and take your sandwich as you walk away confused.
The security guard(s) you became chummy with freshman year, and the one(s) that you weren't exactly quite fond of.
Some random beautiful person who you had class with once, and your heart still goes pitter patter when you see them around campus (even though you definitely never talked).
That little old lady in the library who's always wearing a vest and looks like she came straight out of a British child's fairy tale (only real library lurkers will know this one).
The groundhogs. Those little critters stole my heart.
Marist sunsets. Not human, but with the amount of pictures taken of them, they're definitely a celebrity.
