ETSU Suffers Huge Loss

Johnson City to lose a staple of it's small college town.

ETSU Suffers Huge Loss

Whether you're a past, present, or future Buc you have probably heard of the legendary Poor Richards, better known as PR's. Not only are they known for karaoke Tuesday but they also have a good reputation for their food. Now if you've ever been lucky enough to call ETSU your home you've most likely spent a night or two at PR's. From sorority mixers to celebrating the end of finals week - we've all enjoyed this Johnson City staple.

PR's is one of the only nightclubs that has stood the test of time and remained open throughout the years. Each school year a new club appears, but somehow students always end coming right back to the familiar name. However, I have some bad news for you folks. Rumor has it that PR's will no longer be opening their doors. Now I don't know about you all but to me this is heartbreaking news. My 21st birthday, my first time going out with my first college friends, first college bar fight, drunken nights signing Dixie Chicks at the top of our lungs.. We've all had our fun times. Tell any alum you go to ETSU and you'll get the same question every time, "is PR's still standing?" It's not just a bar it's a part of the ETSU experience. What other bar can you go to in nike shorts and a t-shirt and it be completely acceptable?

The incoming Bucs will never experience nights spent at Poor Richards. They will think "The Library" is what a fun night consist of, not knowing of what they are missing. I am truly sorry for those of you that this pertains to. To those of you who will get to carry on in life remembering the nights spent at this JC staple, I hope you pass on the stories and never forget the memories made.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
