There is one universal thing that unites us all here at UConn: sweating. You are never not sweating. No matter what. And each sweat is a different sweat. But we have all experienced them, and will continue to, for however long we have left at this moist campus.
The “Welcome Back!” Sweat
For the first two weeks of school, don’t even bother wearing any makeup. It’ll all be off by noon.
The Homer Sweat
Each floor gets hotter and hotter until you’ve reached the sun.
The “It’s Cold In The Morning But Hot In The Afternoon” Sweat
No matter how much you try to master the art of layer, eventually you will be left in a sweat-soaked cami.
The Frat Party Sweat
Take pictures ASAP, trust me. As soon as you enter the basement, you will be hit by a wall of sweat, drunk, and gross.
The Bedtime at Towers Sweat
When it’s so hot that you fall asleep cuddling a cold water bottle with a fan directly in front of you. And it lightly smells of cow manure.
The Post-Gym Sweat
Grab two paper towels: one to wipe down the machine, and one to wipe down your face.
The Darty Sweat
If by vodka you mean boiling Bud Light and by beach you mean the dead grass lawn of Casa Blanca, then sure.
The Surprise Sweat
Keep your hands by your side or else this could happen to you.
The Blue Line Sweat
Because you will be trapped in that hot box for at least 25 minutes.
The Jansport Sweat
No matter how breathable your shirt may be, there is no escaping backpack sweat. Make sure to have a water bottle handy.
The “It’s Freezing Outside But 100 Degrees In Gentry” Sweat
When you finally take a seat in class, you will literally be oozing sweat and snots.
The Men’s Basketball Anticipation Sweat
Because we all know our beloved team likes to give us heart attacks at nearly every game.
The Dreaded Dunkin Sweat
Nothing is worse than when you excitedly order your favorite hot drink at DD but it creates that unfortunate upper lip sweat. Whatever you do, don’t try to lick it off. People will notice.
Stay dry, collegiettes!
