14 Signs You Might Be a Catamount
Kaitlyn Yow

When you attend a small liberal arts university in the middle of nowhere, there are always things about it that make it unique and make the students proud to attend. I can definitely say there are a few things I've picked up on since I have started school at WCU. As a Senior, I've made up a pretty good list, so let me tell you a few things that might mean you attend Western Carolina.

1. Parking is scarce.

Oh my Lawd, the parking. If you attend Western Carolina, you know that finding a parking spot is about the equivalent of finding Channing Tatum in the café...not gonna happen, homie. If there is the rare occurrence that you do find a spot during the day, you feel like you conquer the world.



2. The Cat Tran is probably not the best way to get to class.

When I first got to Western, I thought the Cat Tran could possibly be a good idea. My, was I wrong. Firstly, they are never on time. You could walk way faster to the other side of campus than ride the kitty cat tran. Plus, if you have ridden it late at night, you know it has some of the most interesting people on it. The drivers are insanely nice though, and always seem to make your day. Just beware of the passengers and long wait time.


3. There is nothing "express" about the village express.

Really though. No better time for a Spongebob reference.


4. When you're trying to leave Tucks but you're too turnt.


5. You've been warned at least a million times not to walk underneath the clock tower in fear of not graduating on time.


6. You have probably had at least one ratchet night here...



7. It isn't out of the ordinary to see Enos randomly hanging all around campus. #mountainlyfe



8. You have probably more than likely posted a picture like this for the 'Gram.

9. The horror of when you have to have one of these.

10. If you are a health related major and you feel like you live at the HHS building.

11. You get super confused when you see Appalachian Stickers on people's cars on campus.


12. No matter how good or bad our teams plays in a season, we take Catamount athletics very seriously. And not to mention our Chancellor > yours.


13. Pedestrians are basically asking you to pay their Tuition.

Girl, this ain't Frogger.


14. Overall, you love Cullowhee and all the things this small school we call home has done for you. #GoCats

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
