The ABCs Of Marist College

A school so great that we now have about 10 geotags.

The ABCs Of Marist College

Marist is a one of a kind place. We live it, we breathe it, we love it. Here are the ABCs of Marist College:

A is for Ace Taxi

Phatz, Eagle Taxi, etc., etc. Familiar names we've all learned to love. Thank you, cab drivers, for allowing us to be our true selves during our five-minute rides. We owe you one.

B is for bacon, egg and cheeses

A Marist staple. It's always a pleasure to see students drooling in Campus Deli/Red Fox on Saturday mornings-- typically in their pajamas.

P.S- Campus Deli delivers. What a time to be alive.

C for construction

Lol. Thank you, Marist. But really, chill.

D is for Darby's

If there were a tour of Poughkeepsie, I would definitely take customers to Darby's on a Friday night to see the creatures of Marist College in their natural habitat.

E is for Eveready

The answer to all your problems is always Eveready. ALWAYS.

F is for FoxNet

Pretty much the worst. Consistency is key, FoxNet.

G is for groundhogs

Kind of starting to miss those guys right about now... Come back and play with us, friends.

H is for the Hudson

Marist's main selling point and always on your Instagram feed. Pics on the walking bridge or it didn't happen.

I is for IDs

TBH, an ID is the only thing a Marist student needs to pack for school. It is our means of survival.

J is for John Gildard

A name we've learned to love. Thank you, John, for filling my inbox with joy.

K is for karaoke night

A night where Pocals and Marist students can unite for the concert of a lifetime.

L is for Lola's

A. Delicious. Place. To. Eat. Sandwiches (and peanut noodles).

M is for Mahoney's

Delicious restaurant by day and a 21-year-olds playground by night.

N is for Netflix

As Marist students, we have a lot of time on our hands. That being said, I've re-watched "The Office" three times. Self-explanatory.

O is for overrides

I have PTSD from registration week and those ugly yellow pieces of paper that constantly fail me.

P is for P Ridge

Would honestly pay to be a P Ridge employee on a Friday night.

Q is for quality people

Marist actually has some quality specimens. Thank you, friends. You're pretty cool.

R is for River Station

A place to have fun! That's pretty much the only way to describe it.

S is for selfies with DJM

Guilty. Get your selfies in by May, or feel forever unaccomplished. Honestly, just transfer if you don't get a selfie before he leaves.

T is for Tower Tuesday

Giant Jenga and towers! What could possibly go wrong?!

U is for Union

Happy Saturday :)

V is for very likely to get late night McDonald's

I'm talking to you, Gartland residents. I mean, honestly props to the person who decided to put a McDonald's next to a college campus. Genius.

W is for wind tunnels

^ Actually me walking to class (minus the frozen tail).

Y is for yikes, I'm poor

No, really. Can we lower the price of tuition to like a dollar?

Z is for Zzz's

Constantly sleepy. Constantly napping. Marist in a nutshell.

*this alphabet does not include the letter X because no words that begin with X relate to Marist.

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.

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.
