How Urban Dictionary Describes Everything At University of Arizona

Dirty T:

What everyone calls Tucson. If you have been here you fully understand the name because it is all-around dirty. I can’t wait to be reunited with all my besties in the Dirty T and start senior year.


Bear Down:

A very short summary: years ago John Byrd “Button” Salmon, the student body president at the U of A, was in a car accident and said to the coach at the time, J.F. “Pop” McKale, to tell them team to “bear down.” #Beardown


The Mall:

The giant green patch in the middle of campus; commonly hosts people with aggressive signs, tents full of people trying to make you sign up for something, giant bouncy houses and other random activities. I was walking across the mall and I stopped to go on the slip and slide.


UAWIFI:

The most unreliable Wi-Fi you will ever encounter. I was in the middle of an important quiz when UAWIFI stopped working.


Red Dot:

The sign that appears on D2L to let you know you have either failed or succeeded. *Signs on to D2L, clicks on the red dot* Aw I got a 64% on the test.


Shibboleth Error:

Still trying to figure out what exactly it is. Every time I try to sign on to UAccess it says Shibboleth Error.


Dayge:

Day + rage = dayge. Are you going to the dayge on Saturday?

Eegees:

A place with flavored frozen ice that happens to be at every event you ever attend. Apparently they also have sandwiches and hot dogs. I’ve never actually been to Eegees but I had the frozen ice at the event last weekend.

Nado:

Coronado, aka, the party dorm. I lived in Nado freshmen year and it was the best time of my life.

AzSo:

Arizona Sonora, the dorm second to Coronado. I lived in AzSo my freshmen year and it was fun but I wish I lived in Nado.

Highland:

Pretty much where the rest of the dorms are. I lived on Highland my freshmen year but I wish I lived in Nado.

Highland Burrito

The best thing to eat after midnight and the cause of the freshmen fifteen. You can get a burrito at Highland Market which is open 24/7. I gained 15 pounds freshmen year because I had a Highland Burrito every time I was drunk.

Monsoon:

This weather thing that makes it pour rain and flood the streets of Tucson while also maintaining a warm temperature. During monsoon season I usually have to take my shoes off at the cross the street to get to class because it is so flooded.

ZonaZoo:

The best student section in the country where you see people in all sorts of costumes and body paint. ZonaZoo stays the whole game (sometimes).

Dead Day Eve:

U of A’s favorite holiday. The night before Dead Day where students go out and then feel dead the next day, hence the name. I understand why they called it Dead Day, I feel dead right now and I can’t study.

Wilbur and Wilma:

The wildcat mascots that are married. Wilbur and Wilma performed such a cute routine at the game.

Ben’s:

Gentle Ben’s, a restaurant with the best chicken tenders of your life that turns into a bar at night. The place to be on Tuesdays. I waited at Ben’s at 10am and still didn’t get a wristband for tonight.

Bag’s:

Dirtbag’s, the place to be on the weekend. I’ll see you at Bags tonight, right?

Frogs:

Frog & Firkin, often pronounced Frog & Frickin because people pretend that’s what it’s really called. Great restaurant/bar for beer, day games, and just day drinking in general. The game is at 7pm so let’s get to Frogs around 10am.

Bursur:

At the beginning of each semester the bookstore allows you to charge whatever you want to your Arizona account so your parents can pay for it instead. I bursured new Beats and told my parents I got my books.

Old Main:

Where people take their senior pictures. Also, the oldest building on campus. I want a picture in the fountain at Old Main before I graduate.

ASU:

The enemy. ASU sucks.

University of Arizona:

The best school in the nation.People who don’t go there: I wish I went to the University of Arizona. People who do go there: Going to the University of Arizona was the best decision I have made in my life.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
