5 Reasons You Need Kirkwood Stacks In Your Life
Madyn Lewis

Over the summer, Kilroy's closed the 18+ nightclub, Recess. This was obviously devastating for a lot of people, but then it was replaced with the newest bar, Kirkwood Stacks. Personally, I would consider myself somewhat of a Stacks ambassador. I love everything about Kirkwood Stacks: the games, the people, the atmosphere, etc. Below are some detailed reasons as to why you should check it out!

(This post is not sponsored!)

1. An outside deck complete with giant Jenga

Stacks has a variety of games to choose from on their outside deck, a perfect place to enjoy some fresh air and a game or two of Baggo (some people say bags or corn hole)! They also have beer pong and giant Jenga – a perfect conversation starter.

2. $2 Tuesdays

On Tuesdays, Stacks has drink specials for only $2, so if your bank account is lacking and your classes start after 10 am I would highly recommend it.

3. They have vintage video games! 

If dancing's not your style, Stacks has vintage MarioKart and other Mario games for the Xbox that you can play right next to the bar!

4. If dancing is your style, they have a dance floor

There are still some components from the original recess left, like the dance floor. If you're ready to dance its an awesome place to get down!

5. The overall atmosphere is fun

Even when the bar isn't packed, it's fun to hang out there with friends! The people there are incredibly friendly and fun to be around.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
