Campus Celeb Abraham Lincoln

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Syracuse chapter.

He’s everyone’s favorite Instagram partner and emancipator. It’s Campus Celeb, the Abraham Lincoln statue outside of Maxwell!

Major: Well, I didn’t go to college, but I did teach myself law after becoming a postman. So there’s that. Oh, yeah, and I was President. #famous

Favorite Spot on Campus: Why, right next to Maxwell and Eggers, of course! I’m not as active as I was back in the 1800’s, but I sure know how to find a seat with a view.

Single, Taken, or Freedom? Freedom, always. Those who deny freedom to others deerve it not for themselves.

Are the statues by Schaffer friends or foes? I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends. And they ain’t got nothin’ on me. I’m the Insta-bomb king.

This is true. Instagrammers can expect 150+ likes for a photo with you. Does this fame go to your head? Not at all! I didn’t let presidency make my hat too tight. What’s a couple extra likes on some sick pics here and there?

If you could go to Fac with anyone in history, who would it be? Chancellor Kent Syverud. Hands down. That man is a golden beacon of sunshine and I would be proud to get a Chipotle burger with him.

What are your thoughts on the ESF Lincoln statue? Boy doesn’t know how to work an angle. And his head is way out of proportion; maybe that’s why students are always throing orange traffic cones on it. It’s not my fault no one wants pose with that poser. I’m the OG Lincoln in this area and I’m proud.

Is there any piece of advice you would like to share with our readers? Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.
