Why You Should Aspire To Be As Cool As Ezra Koenig
eecue.com

Most everyone has heard of New York indie band Vampire Weekend. They're super cool and hip. The band's members all met while studying at Columbia University. They've become very well-known amongst the younger crowd because their songs talk about youth fading fast, which is pretty relatable. Over the years, Vampire Weekend has increased in popularity because of lead singer Ezra Koenig. His hilarious Twitter account and cool factor has fans going crazy. Koenig makes 'being cool' seem effortless, and he makes you want to embrace your weird side. Because of this, I've compiled a list of reasons why you should aspire to be as cool as Ezra Koenig. Let's all be cool together!

1. He used to be an English teacher. Dang I wish he could teach me English.


2. He rocks a dog sweater.

3. He has a copyrighted facial expression.

4. He holds his guitar in the best angle ever.

5. His hair is majestic af like dayum son. Makes you just wanna run your hands through those luscious locks. So powerful.

6. His Vines are incredible. Like wow. Art.

Dayum his voice is so deep.

7. His Twitter account is gold.


8. Best. Selfie. Taker. Ever. He's got all his angles down. What an expert.


10. He was able to rock this outfit. Like he's the only one who could ever do this. I promise you, no one else could pull this off so yeah don't try it. You'll embarrass yourself.


11. Also, he can pull off headbands, which is very difficult to do.


12. He wrote a song with Karen O. from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and then performed it at The Oscars. It was so beautiful.


P.S. Everybody wishes they were Karen O.


13. His laugh sounds like happiness.


14. He's pretty wise.



15. He actually cares about politics and got the opportunity to sing "This Land Is Your Land" with Bernie Sanders to show support at a rally.

16. He also wrote a song with Major Lazer (so cool) called "Jessica". It sounds dreamlike, and his voice makes you want to cry because you realize he's so talented and you could never be or sound that cool. Dang.

17. He's friends with Chromeo, who are like one of the greatest duos ever.

18. He didn't give up on learning "Crash Into Me" by Dave Matthews Band, and he sure as hell didn't let the haters get to him.

19. And lastly, he somehow always looks super cool. There's no denying it. I don't understand how that's possible. How can you just 'look cool' without trying?



God bless you, Ezra Koenig. May we all achieve your level of coolness one day.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
