14 Signs You Might Be a Catamount

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

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
