Oh how I love the amazing sunsets, dollar nuggets, Union Bar, job placement and the most beautiful campus around. Marist rarely has a bad day — the college strives to please its students who are paying for the best education and hoping to secure their dream job. But let's take a moment to remember all of the quirks and struggles we go through that make Marist, well ... Marist.

1. The Hudson River wind/Student Center wind tunnel.

2. The morning egg station line in the Dining Hall (along with occasionally undercooked omelets).

3. The registration Hunger Games.

4. Wednesday morning classes after Tower Tuesdays.

5. Finding a seat in the dining hall at 6:30 p.m.

6. Finding ways to sneak a car freshman and sophomore year if you're less than the recently raised credit minimum of 50.

7. Paying for Cabaret food which is the same quality as Dining Hall food, (especially after running out of that free 25 dollar thrifty cash at the beginning of each semester).

8. Avoiding geese, geese poop and groundhogs.

9. Not being able to take a cliché Marist campus Insta pic since the Rotunda being under construction for over a year.

10. Having a day full of classes on a beautiful day while others lounge on Marist Beach.

11. Having to go to the library, but deciding not to because you don't want to climb its endless stairs.

12. Going to the Cabaret after they have "closed the grill."

13. The main struggle is finding struggles because Marist is close to perfect, almost as perfect as their landscaping and groundskeeping.

People can make fun of Marist all they want, but just remember, if Billy O'Reilly could do it, anyone can survive the fox den. See you soon!
