1. You understand that looking for a study room in the science center is like competing in the    hunger games.

2. You’re able to say that your football team has been undefeated since 1960.

3. Should you rush Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma, or Zeta Phi Beta? Lol, jk. We don’t have Greek    life here.

4. You know that a snow day really means Snow Kegs.

5. You countdown to that special day in March, it starts at 6 a.m. with bad bagels and mimosas… aka    Parade Day.

6. You leave your wallet on the tables on 3rd floor without any fear of it going missing.

7.  You have an allegiance to Oscars or Cockeyeds and feel bad when you leave one to go to the     other. 

8. You stand in line at Starbucks 10 minutes before class and think “well my professor is going to be    extra mad because I’m walking in with my GTL.”

9. You have to leave 15 minutes early to make it down the commons and to Hyland in time for class.

10. Who is ready for this Saturday’s tailgate?! Ugh, I can’t wait to get dressed up in all things Royal.      Hahaha. JK.

11. When you miss home, conversations with Flo make you feel a little better.

12. What the heck maintenance doesn’t clean my room this year?!

13. The purple umbrellas are up! The purple umbrellas are up!

14. When it comes time for housing registration, may the odds be in your favor.

15. You impatiently watch your omelet being made at brunch.

16. You wander around the science center thinking, wait am I lost?! Three years later and I still      don’t know where I am.

17. I really wanted to go to fifth floor today but I’m wearing flip-flops. Cue the judgmental looks.

18. FREE T- SHIRTS!! You beg your friends to do the activity with you to get one.

19. You know Bleeker is where they don’t accept your meal plan and a smile comes on the side… if      you’re lucky.

20. You know that Christmas on the Commons includes a tree lighting, gingerbread cookies, an      ice-skating rink and all things Buddy the Elf would approve of.

21. Spring Fest, the day where you sit on the green, think my school is so cute, and pretend it’s not      mid-finals week.

22. You realize that your night is basically over because you’ve ended up at CK’s.

23. On nice days you either brave cliff jumping in Nay-Aug or cringe at those who do.

24. Your sunny weekend days are spent at kegs and eggs…. minus the eggs.

25. You’re used to this response: “Yes. Scranton. Like where the Office is.”
