33 Questions I Have For Eastern Illinois University

Chucktown, Chuck Vegas, the Chuck or commonly known as Charleston, Illinois, is a small town that's home to Eastern Illinois University. You can always count on having a good time when visiting or attending school at EIU. Aside from the good times, during my short time here I have developed many questions that I and other students want answers to.

1. Is there purposely multiple bars within 50 yards of campus

2. How are we supposed to say no to trivia Tuesday?

3. Or ladies night, when the bars are only a few steps away?


4. Why do you always close the dining halls on long weekends even though most students are still on campus?

5. Why can't all professors stick to using D2L and not whatever site they want?

6. When are you going to do landscaping to help campus look nice?

7. Will the construction at McAfee ever happen or be finished?

8. What is the newly built wooden structure by the Tarble Arts Center?

9. Why do we spend money on things like that if they rarely get used?

10. Why is it always a struggle to stay connected or connect to the wifi?

11. Can we get rid of the weird MTV music videos played in the dining halls?

12. When are we going to get a Starbucks on campus?

13. Why do I pay so much for a meal plan, but my extra swipes don't roll over into the next week?

14. Why can't the price for lab manuals be covered in textbook rentals?

15. If I get hit by the impatience drivers while walking across 4th street to class will my tuition be free?

16. Can you put more lights on campus so we feel safe walking around campus at night?

17. Why do you lock the side doors of Lantz on Sundays?

18. When are the dining halls going to get better food?

19. When will you start taking care of and maintaining the athletic facilities?

20. Really though have you looked at our soccer field?

21. Or any of the team locker rooms that aren't baseball or basketball?

22. How about the dirty weight room in Lantz?

23. Why does the Rec close at 6 p.m. on Saturdays and doesn't open till 12 p.m. on Sundays?

24. Can tailgating before football games become a thing?

25. Where do all the cats on campus come from?

26. Why does the loud and annoying alarm system have to be tested so many times within one day and during prime napping time?

27. Why don't the dining halls do take-out on the weekends?

28. Can all professors be required to record grades on D2L?

29. Can you pave the panther trail so we don't have to run on gravel?3

30. Can the classrooms be a normal temperature, not a sauna one day and then freezing another?

31. Why does the library close early on weekends?

32. What do you feed the squirrels on campus to make them so wild?

33. Imperfections aside, is there any better place than Chucktown?

I can answer that for you right now: NO.

Like all of you, I'm happy to call this place home away from home!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
