A college campus is an interesting place with so many students, athletes, and quirky professors, you are bound to see some unusual events. It seems like almost every day our campus green here at Marist College is transformed by white tents, scattered with volleyball nets or turned into a full-out carnival for students and families.

I am sure the winter will bring other events, but besides the college's extravagant setups, students take it upon themselves to do things that are quite, well, not something you see every day...

1. The Hammock People

I cannot make this stuff up. As I was walking to the gym a few weeks ago, I noticed a hammock strung between two trees swaying side to side. I had definitely not noticed this before, and I have come to accept it as a usual phenomenon because I continue to see random hammocks set up around campus. I have no idea who these people are or how they found the time to relax in a hammock, but cheers to you, man.

2. The people on a phone call in the library

I am baffled by this. Who takes a phone call in the middle of the silent library? At first, I thought these people would answer and hang up, but no, they continued to chat for a good ten minutes before they figured they should end the call in respect of other people around (obviously).

3. The overdone outfit

Even though I am a fashion major, I cannot relate to dressing as if I am going to eat a steak dinner for an 8 a.m. class. You seriously cannot tell me that those heels and polyester pants are comfortable in this humidity or petite desk. I think I will also categorize the student with an outrageous stuffed tiger backpack in this sector as well, although it scares me more than it annoys me.

4. The underdone outfit

In contrast to the girls in suits and stylish two-piece outfits, there are plenty of college kids wandering the campus in, well, anything but "appropriate" clothes. These people seem to always be in slippers, bathrobes, and of course, flannels. Long gone are the days of "casual Friday," because no one considers jeans and a t-shirt comfortable anymore, and any millennial in joggers and a flannel will confirm it.

5. The scooters

It is totally unnecessary nor logical to bring your scooters around a small campus. A bicycle makes more sense, and where do you even lock up a scooter? These students make it their goal to brush past simple pedestrians trying to make it to class or the library unnoticed. There are even tons of longboarders with shaggy hair around campus; why don't you try that, scooters?
