15 Photos That Won't Make Sense To Someone Who Didn't Go To EIU

To outsiders, EIU is just another state university, but to students, current and past, it's a way of life. There are just some things only EIU students would understand, no matter what year they graduated. Eastern Illinois University is said to be 'The Harvard of the Midwest', and if you didn't or don't go there, you definitely won't understand these photos.

1. When you have at least 15 pictures just like this on your camera roll

2. When you're too lazy to walk to class, so you take a chance and park in the staff lot

3. When someone says, "Eastern's fun and all, but I'd never go there"

4. When the person working the Stevo grill puts someone else's egg-veggies on the grill even though you put yours down first

5. When the school charges you $120 for a 'damaged' textbook you used a max of 3 times the entire semester

6. When it's Krispy Kreme Thursday

7. When you make the mistake of going to the rec at 4 PM

8. Whenever you walk into Doudna

9. When you go to a Thai restaurant that isn't T Garden

10. When you're the only Illinois state school that doesn't get classes canceled during a blizzard

11. When you're walking to class and Brother Jed calls you a whore

12. When it's been 10 minutes since you finished your dining hall meal

13. When you have a class in Old Main that ends at 11:50, and a class in Lumpkin that starts at 12

14. When you ask your professor a question and they respond, "The answer to that is on D2L."

15. When people ask if you like/liked EIU

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
