30 Things EKU Students Can Relate To
EKU

Between parking struggles, Powell movement, visitation hours, and the naked man, there are some things only an EKU student would understand.

1. Attempting to stay connected to WiFi and getting kicked off in the middle of taking a Blackboard quiz.

2. You blew through your meal plan within the first two months.

3. Everyone attended the Homecoming parade no matter the weather conditions.

4. The main reason you attended City Fest was to score all the free stuff.


5. You never passed up the opportunity to receive a free t-shirt.

6. If you only have a 30-minute break in between class; that’s totally enough time to stop by DSP, take a quick nap, and make it to class on time.

7. You only made the mistake of buying your books on campus once. Then you discovered buying elsewhere was much cheaper.

8. The naked man is the best meeting spot before going to Powell with your friends.

9. Plus, EKU is the only place it's acceptable to say, “Let's meet at the naked man.”

10. Chances are likely you will never find parking besides in Lancaster and Alumni. Even that is a stretch.

11. Two hour delays are the absolute worst.

12. The best time to go to USP is on Spotlight days.

13. You may think residential parking is the worst, but anyone who has been a commuter would have to disagree.

14. When they close half the alumni parking lot for the game, commuters might as well take the day off.

15. Walking to any printer on campus and always reading “toner low” or “error.”

16. The day after Homecoming will always be the hardest.

17. Waving at Big World when you see him off campus.

18. Never escaping the “Hateful Preacher man” when he visits every semester.

19. Debating whether it’s worth going off campus to get food and losing your parking spot or just settling for Powell.

20. That moment you received princess parking.

21. Random acoustic guitar players outside of Powell and Case.

22. That one kid who buys everyone Starbucks at the end of the year because somehow they have leftover flex.


23. Trying to find out if the “Blue Lady” really lives in Keen Johnson.

24. Taking a break from classes and going to “Jigg.”

25. Walking past all of Wylie Caudill’s chalk work and being amazed at how he did it.

26. That one kid on the unicycle.

27. The disappointment when you’re up late at the library craving coffee and Java City is closed.

28. Constantly receiving parking tickets and never getting them appealed. (Sometimes its worth the fine rather than the walk.)

29. The EKU Super fan.

30. Being forever thankful for all the memories you received by attending EKU.

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

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
