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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
