You Know You’re From SCU When…

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

Everything, every year, every distinct moment in our lives has different songs, images or stories that help you identify and represent those unique moments, people and places. For example, every time you hear “Wrecking Ball” in the future don’t tell me you are not going to think of the first three months of this school year…thanks Miley. You go girl.  So in light of such “sensors” I thought I would make it more personal, more close to home…

Ladies, loud and proud, you know you are a chick from SCU when…

  1. Yoga pants are your go to…more specifically your Lulus are the signature item in your closet.
  2. You worry that irregular gym hours will mess with your daily routine more than irregular library hours.
  3. You talk about beer die…but you have never actually played.
  4. You know that the gym feels like a middle school dance – boys on their side girls on the other.
  5. High-waisted shorts, Brandy Melville, Lululemon.
  6. Your first date with your current boyfriend was a date and a fifth.
  7. Although it’s cheaper and nicer living in the Villas, you prefer off campus…you wouldn’t dare make that walk.
  8. You have been to the Santa Clara pool many times, but have you ever actually swam in it? No way, you can’t tan properly in the water.
  9. Mixed ingredients in the salad bar is the low point in your week.
  10. Mission Bakery may brew Starbucks coffee but it’s not the same as your ice decaf skinny soy non-vanilla latte from the actual Starbucks.
  11. It’s bathing suit season all year long—day parties in 58 degree weather? No problem, you’ll bear that cold to show off that bod. You know the saying, if you got it, flaunt it.
