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

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
