You know you're a UNC student when...

I thought it was about time that I made a post like this. So, if you aren't already aware, I go to UNC Chapel Hill (woot Tarheels *mock enthusiasm*). I am preparing to graduate come May, and of course, I am making the most of my time by working doubly hard and hoping that I can salvage whatever is left of my college experience. (Thanks for nothing, college preparatory schools...). In my past 3.5 years on this campus, I have learned many things. Most importantly, I have learned that there is something special to being a college student, at least a UNC student. I'm sure other college students can agree with the following list that details how you know you are a college student. It's been done time and again, but this is my personal take:



You Know You're A UNC Student When
  •  You're preparing to disagree with everything on this list.
    • Now you feel bad.
  • You nod approvingly at people who trip on the bricks, especially if they are future students. You see tripping as a rite of passage as opposed to embarrasment.
    • Corollary: You have already picked out which brick has tripped you enough to be granted the honor of going home with you following graduation.
  • It confuses you when the Bell Tower doesn't play Do Re Mi at 9PM.
  • You judge the quality of your day on the blueness of the sky in comparison to Carolina Blue. 
  • You don't understand why your family doesn't understand your penchant for going to sleep at 5AM and waking up at 9AM as if it's the most normal thing to do.
    • Corollary: You understand even less the idea of going to sleep before midnight. Ever.
  • You've memorized the announcements in Davis library in regards to the closings of the Reference Desk and the Microforms Desk. 
  • Discussions about mathematical, chemical, or biological theory pop up all the time, except for when you are supposed to be studying said subject(s).
  • Flip Flops.
  • Finding your bathroom floor covered in suds causes you to nod in approval, as if this was expected, if not necessary.
  • You're paranoid that your dorm fire alarm hasn't gone off once this year...
  • You've been hit -- or nearly hit -- by a bike.
  • You've used blackboard to friend people in your class on Facebook.
    • You spend more time on Facebook than you do on Blackboard.
    • You hate Blackboard and CCI printing. 
      • Corollary: You're convinced that your local printer has it out for you.
      • Fact: Your local printer has it out for you.
  • You think you can do better at this list.
    • You're already trying to make a better list in your head.
  • Sporcle is just as entertaining to you as Facebook.
  • You came here hating coffee and now have an addiction to one of Starbucks' many caffeinated products.
  • You've gone out of your way to get a free sandwich from the Jimmy John's box.
    • Corollary: You also go out of your way to get a free Red Bull from the Red Bull buggy
  • Pit Preacher Gary is the highlight of your Spring.
  • You have a new found hatred for construction.
  •  If you're an English major, you're mad at me for using the word "corollary" so flippantly.
