Time may fly, but we have our memories
April 23, 2018
The cliché saying that “time flies” is one we should not take lightly. Life has felt like it has been on fast forward since the moment I got here. When I arrived for my first weekend at Eastern in August 2015, I felt nervous but liberated. I no longer would have to live at home with my family,...

It is hard to believe that we are already at this point in the semester again. We only have roughly six weeks left. We at The Daily Eastern News are not the hugest fans of clichés, but we are also human. And because we are human, and we know that you are too, we catch others as well as ourselves saying...

February 14, 2018
Filed under Editorials, Opinions
We think it is pretty safe to say that college students want a job after they graduate. The Daily Eastern News editorial board does not anticipate many angry emails disputing this fact in our inboxes tomorrow. It is also pretty safe to say that in this day and age, going to a 4-year university is al...

For the past two weekends, I said farewell to Charleston to visit my lifelong friends from home at their universities. The first weekend of February I found myself wearing blue and gold in celebration of National Marquette Day. This past weekend, I was fully surrounded in hues of purple, gold and gr...

People truly do not realize how much college changes them. I never thought I would ever go away to school and I honestly thought if I did that I would not have a good experience and I was terrified of losing my friends. I am here to say that I have lost some but others are still near and dear to my heart. Going...

With the constant momentum of taking on another year of school and the pressure to be the best that we can be, it feels like there is no time or room to second-guess ourselves. We are encouraged to follow our gut, but we are expected to make a decision before we can figure out which direction our instincts...

There are parties, drinking, dancing, music and more all over campus and throughout town. You meet so many new people who you quickly become friends with and everyt...

Every time, you were guaranteed a different answer selected from an endless list of job titles, including everything from princess to astronaut. Now, as a young adult, this game can often be discouraging. The...
