Another great year has come to a close. You're at that point where you just want school to end, but the feeling is bittersweet. As bad as you want finals week to fly on by, you know at the end of it, it's time to pack up and leave. You're now realizing that you'll be away from Syracuse University for months, and with that there are things that will seriously be missed...
10. Marshall Street
You'll miss having everything you need being literally within a mile radius. From Starbucks, Chipotle, Varsity and the bars… you don’t even need a car (unless you live on south). Not only is Marshall good in the daytime, but also everyone’s go to at 2 AM. M Street, Calios or Acropolis is always the move after a night out.
9. Dj’s happy hour
There is literally no better way to let go of your “end of the week stress” than with a $4 pitcher or $8 rum bucket. What will we do on Thursdays from 6-8 PM?
8. Going to the bars
From Dj’s, Harry’s, Lucy’s, and Chucks (if you’re old enough) you know that the bars on Marshall Street are always poppin’ from literally Tuesday-Saturday. I could really go for a fishbowl from Lucy’s right about now…
7. Recapping events from the night before with your squad
When the phrase “what the hell happened last night?” comes into play. You log into Snapchat to relive and try to remember what the hell you did or said the night before.
6. Sleepovers every night with your roommate
They might snore, are too loud while getting ready in the morning, and distract you while you’re trying to study, but you know you’ll miss the person who is always down to order Dominos at 3 AM.
5. Having all of your best friends within walking distance
Start saving every penny you can for gas money because the distance to see your friends over the summer definitely isn’t going to be as close as the walk from Watson to DellPlain.
4. Walking around campus on a beautiful day
If you go here you’re automatically biased about your campus being the most beautiful campus. But really, there is nothing better than 'Cuse on a sunny day... no matter what day of the week, every house on frat row jamming out to music, and trips to Gannon’s Ice-Cream.
3. Tailgates and Day Drinks at Castle, East Adams, and 507
Where is every student supposed to go to neglect their responsibilities when they’re not in Syracuse?
2. Game Days
We’ll miss the days where Otto’s Army shows their Cuse’ pride by filling the Dome doing what we do best… Bleeding orange and screaming loud as hell for our team. Every student at Syracuse will never forget this past semester’s experience with going to the Final Four.
1. Bleeding Orange
We’ll miss the only place where it’s socially acceptable to wear a bright orange shirt any day. But then again… You go to Syracuse University. Wear that orange shirt with pride to remind everyone at home that you go to the best damn school in the world.
