You know you go to Ryerson when…
- You look at your schedule and mentally brace yourself for the marathon from Sally Horsfall/Eric Palin to Ted Rogers
- Sarko, the believe in the Lord guy, scares the crap out of you at Dundas Square.
- You’re used to being covered in used textbook flyers and Freeze the Fees pamphlets.
- You barely dare to dream that the escalators in TRSM might just be working today
- After class, you ask your friend from OCAD to get coffee at Balzac’s and their response is “What’d you just say?”
- When getting lost in Kerr Hall becomes a daily routine and yet you somehow manage to find a new route to class each time.(Editor’s note: KERR HALL IS ON GOOGLE MAPS! YOU’RE WELCOME!)
- You’ve never been more in love with Ryerson than when you have classes in buildings connected by bridges that lead you from one class to the next without experiencing the dreadful outdoors.
- Your twitter is 90% rants about your hour + long commute to and from campus
- The TTC is the bane of your existence
- Your reaction to “the next train/bus/streetcar will arrive in X minutes” announcements is something like this:
- Your BFF is the hot dog man at the hot dog stand, there rain or shine.
- …Except on Ryerson’s non-existent “snow days”
- You know all too well the never ending process of opting-out of the health and dental plan in September…only to finally recieve your cheque. In January.
- You’re a fourth-year student and you still question the point of filling out course intentions
- And then do them anyways because you have hope in your heart
- You wake up obscenely early to go on RAMSS during course selection, and by a minute into your appointment time you’ve lost all faith in humanity
- People begging for someone to drop a course they want is the norm
- You wonder if the people who write the security incident reports are just making things up
- “The subject attempted to engage the victim in conversation, placed his hands inside his pants and gazed at the victim.”
- Any time you feel overworked you just think to yourself, “well, at least I’m not an engineer”
- You’ve seen the engineering stickers all over every. damn. thing.
- You’re used to having class in a movie theatre
- Comfy seats during a three hour lecture put you in an insta-coma
- On Thursdays, you eat and play pool with your pals at the Ram, and the following Friday, you turn up at a Pitman party.
- You’ve seen the tailless squirrel and/or the one-legged pigeon
