Just some Keuka College things that all students at Keuka can relate to. Going to a smaller college has its perks and we have some pretty unique things that only Keuka Students know about. And at the end of the day, we wouldn't have it any other way.

1. Bingo night is no joke at Keuka.

When you can win prizes like Ipads, smart TVs, apple watches and other awesome prizes, its no joke. Bingo is a big thing and no one messes around.

2. Chicken fries are hands down a Keuka signature.

Chicken fries are a rave at Keuka. Everyone loves them. Enough said.

3. Finding a good parking spot is the equivalent of winning the lottery.

It's rare and feels like winning the lottery when you actually get a good parking spot at Keuka. Parking is a well-known issue, and you hear about it ALL THE TIME. I mean who really wants to park in V lot. At least V lot, has some crazy gorgeous sunsets.

4. The lakeside campus.

It's hard to not fall in love with the crazy views and lakeside campus. Swimming, kayaking, canoeing, or lounging by the lake whatever you prefer, it does not disappoint. Not to mention is makes for a pretty incredible sunrise.

5. Wednesday night wing nights at Lloyds.

Wednesday night wing night is a big deal. Wings are cheap and lets be honest we are all broke college students. And who doesn't like chicken wings?!

6. You cannot go anywhere without bumping into someone you know.

Keuka is such a small campus, it's hard not to see someone you know, everywhere you go. Even the people you don't want to see. It's both a blessing and a curse.

7. Late night breakfast

Late night breakfast only happens twice a year, but the lines always long to get in and the foods pretty good. We all know Keuka closes dinner around 7:30, so late night breakfast fulfills those late night cravings. It's also right before finals so it's a good study break! Go load up on waffles, pancakes, sugary donuts, eggs, and all your favorite breakfast foods before getting back to the books.

8. Seneca farms is a Keuka student hot spot.

Fried chicken, mac and cheese, wedge fries, and do not forget the homemade ice cream. Another place you cannot go without seeing a Keuka student. Need a study break? Bored of the weekend? Need a late night ice cream run? Seneca Farms is the place to be.

9. Outlet trails

Hiking is a big thing around Keuka. There's so many trails and falls to go to. The Outlet Trails are about seven miles of beautiful scenery and waterfalls. Another place you see lots of Keuka students on the weekends.

10. Wolf Wednesday

Wolf Wednesday is no joke. On Wednesdays, you wear Keuka gear, and some your school spirit. In return, you get cool free stuff like shirts, water bottles, hats, towel and a whole bunch of other stuff.

11. Garrett's Chapel

Garretts Chapel is beautiful and super close to Keuka College. During the fall the view of the lake and all the color changing trees is incredible. It seems like everyone goes here at least a couple time a semester. A good get away for sure!

12. Socrates challenge.

The Socrates challenge was created by a professor on campus. The professors different classes compete to find the little hidden statue of socrates somewhere within yates county. It's a great way to get out and see the wonders of the area and discover new places. And whichever class finds it, gets bonus points. A little friendly competition, and the students love it.

13. It's like a family

Needless to say Keuka has its little-hidden things. Things that make the campus unique. At the end of the day we're like a little family. I have met some of my best friends here, gone through some of the biggest challenges of my life so far, had ups and downs, and most importantly have grown with the people I have met at Keuka. We may complain, but at the end of the day, we are all part of the Keuka Wolves.

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.

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. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
