1. Squirrels cause power outages
…twice
2. Your favorite gas station is Wawa
Where else can you get gas, a great sub and a milkshake all in one trip? (and without possible food poisoning)
3. Late night Taco Bell runs
Because what is better than a Crunchwrap Supreme, a Beefy Frito Burrito, Cinnabon Minis and a large Mountain Dew Baja Blast after a party?
4. At some point, you’ve had a student pass to Busch Gardens
Being able to go in the middle of a weekday afternoon means no lines…score!
5. You’ve taken on the Ybor nightlife
And if you haven’t gotten a tattoo or piercing there, you totally went with somebody who did

Which includes the big cheese and castle, of course
7. You know who Gregory Bowers is
And he has answered at least one of your embarrassing freshman questions
8. Campus is gorgeous
Seriously, just about everywhere on campus is near breathtaking
9. Especially the MLK Plaza
AKA where everybody takes their graduation photos, popping champagne in the fountain
10. There is always something going on
Something is going on all the time, and a lot of the events have some form of free food.
11. Bull Market is basically a weekly holiday
12. with free food, goodies and more
13. Judy Genshaft is queen
If you ever see her in person, you are obligated to take a selfie with her (and the bulls symbol, of course!)

Even though you weren’t supposed to…
15. Watching the preachers outside of Cooper Hall is daily entertainment
You have seen just about everything now

17. But you have plenty of school spirit at all games
S-O-U-T-H F-L-O-R-I-D-A, SOUTH FLORIDA, SOUTH FLORIDA, GO BULLS!
18. Post-classic traffic is the worst
Especially if it is on Fletcher and 42nd Street.
19. Parking is always scarce
20. as is a good parking job
21. Police ticket like it’s their job
okay, so maybe it is their job but it is still excessive
22. You’ve taken on CDBs at least once
It looks like a cute family-owned pizza shop, right? Wrong…
23. International Mall is worth the half hour drive
You can’t afford many things there but it sure is great to look and dream
24. You avoid the UMall at all costs
Although the super clearance Dillards is worth the trip once a semester
25. Downtown Tampa is your own slice of a big city
It is the perfect getaway for an afternoon
26. You’ve always wanted to go to Eddie & Sam’s NY Pizza
Seriously, their pizza is huge and looks absolutely delicious
27. and one of the hip juice bars downtown
And if you don’t post a cool photo of your juice on Instagram, did you even go and get juice?
28. or gorge yourself at Datz
29. oh, and taco tuesday is absolutely insane
30. and Chipotle is always packed
But you always wait in line anyway

Complete with belgian waffles, cereal, ice cream, etc.
32. and made special trips out to Champions Choice
Especially for the freshly ground peanut butter.
33. You’ve taken one of the fun cardio classes at the Campus Rec Center
Club Cardio is the best, hands down.
34. You’ve found your home away from home
35. You bleed green and gold
36. and love Rocky D Bull
No wonder why he won the best mascot nationwide!
37. You know that you go to the best college
GO BULLS!
