Signs You Are Almost in TigerTown
 
     As students, we will make the trek to and from Clemson multiple times over the 
 
course of our four (or five) years. It becomes a routine and a pattern. We feel we 
 
would be able to find our way blindfolded (though I don’t recommend that if you are 
 
the one driving…safety first). We feel we know the landscape of these hills like the 
 
actual back of our hand. So to help those who have yet to memorize the roads that 
 
lead home, let me help you with some signs you are almost in TigerTown. 
 
1) Long sections of interstate that stretch for miles
 
 
2) Multiple texts from your college besties counting down the minutes until y’all 
 
are reunited
 
3) Trees, lots of trees
 
 
4) Every other car has at least one Clemson bumper sticker
 
 
5) Passing through the big city of Greenville
 
 
6) Getting of exit 19B
 
 
7) Passing the Smokin Pig
 
 
8) The Experimental Forest
 
 
9) The orange pawprints on the road
 
 
10) The Clemson snapchat geofilters reappearing when you open the snaps
 
 
11) Spotting Tillman
 
 
12) Driving up to your dorm
 
 
13) Uncontainable joy billowing in your chest at being in TigerTown, our home 
 
away from home <3
