If you're from the Midwest, I'd venture to say you probably know how to play Euchre (or you've at least heard of it). It's pretty hit and miss when trying to find people who know how to play on my campus, so I've done a lot of teaching. I love showing people the light, bringing them into the beautiful world of Euchre. It is, after all, a beloved Midwestern card game, and my own personal favorite. Whether you're an avid player or you just like watching other people play, I can bet that you'll relate to these stages of euchre as told by the extremely expressive and ever-theatrical Donald Glover.

1. When there are four people and someone pulls out a deck of cards.

It's. About. To go. Down.

2. When you're trying to let your partner know what you have.

It's not table talk, I didn't even say anything!

3. When you've got three aces but none of them go through.

I did not anticipate this.

4. When someone calls hearts, but you've got the left, ace and king.

What did you call that on, exactly?

5. When someone calls clubs, but you had a loner in diamonds.

You go through the five stages of grief throughout that whole hand.

6. When you go fishing and draw out exactly what you wanted to.

I couldn't have written it any better.

7. When you and your partner are on a serious roll.

I love you so much. I never want to play euchre with anyone else. You are my ride or die.

8. When you call spades and a member of the other team smirks.

I know you're just trying to make me sweat. Right? You are, right?

9. The first time you hear the words "defend alone."

That's not real. There's no way that's real. You're making it up because it's not possible.

10. The very real pain of dealing the other team a loner.

Congratulations...you played yourself.

11. When your partner calls it, but you have no trump.

Are you going alone, partner? Caaaause....

12. When you look at your hand and have all four jacks.

Well, you know no one's gonna call it.

13. When you look at your hand and you have 9, 9, 9, 10, 10.

TYPICAL.

14. When you play things in the wrong order and end up getting euchred.

I think I was asleep for that round. Or on drugs. My b.

15. When you were up by 7 points, but the other team catches up and wins.

Well, I just got crucified.


You never know what you're gonna get with euchre, and that's half the fun. It's always a trip, but the real reward is the friends (enemies) you made along the way. I see you. I will never forgive you for trumping my ace

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.

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.
