Why ECU Is The Most Fun School in North Carolina
Pool Parties

ECU is known for their epic pool parties. Pool party season is definitely a favorite of most ECU students. This epic season takes place from August to October and from March to May. So if you have friends planning on visiting ECU, make sure you tell them to come within those months!


Football Games

Pirate football is the best in North Carolina. Not to mention we beat UNC 70 to 41 this year. We were also ranked in the The AP Top Poll this year! There is no doubt we have the most football pride and the best fan section out of all of North Carolina. 


Tailgating

Win or lose, we still booze. Tailgating is a practically a sport at ECU. Tailgating starts hours prior to kick off and still goes on well throughout the game if you don't have a ticket (or can't make it). Also, with so many fans who come to Greenville on week day game days, classes are usually cancelled, so students can start tailgating earlier! The university is always on our side. 


Downtown Greenville

Downtown Greenville's nightlife is always a good time. There are bars open 7 days a week. I repeat, 7 days a week. Why just drink on the weekend? Downtown also has specials during the week days. Mondays: Mug Night at Supdogs; Tuesdays: $1 drinks at Halfway House; Wednesday: Karaoke at Fitzgeralds; Thursday: Ladies Night at all the bars!


Frat Parties
ECU isn't only a bar school it has many other things to do, like fraternity parties. ECU has over 20 fraternities on campus. If the bar scene is not your favorite there are always so many frat parties going on to go to. 


Halloween
ECU has the best Halloween of any college in the United States. Downtown Greenville is completely blocked off and turns into a huge block party! Also River Walk has a huge block party every year and it keeps getting bigger and bigger. You definitely need to cross ECU halloweek off your list one year if you have not already. 


The reasons of why ECU is the most fun in North Carolina could go on and on, but above are just a few reasons why it is the absolutely best! You can't spell parties without pirates!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
