The University of Nevada, Reno is right in the heart of Reno, Nevada, the biggest little city in the world. Established in 1874, the university is home to over 19,129 students (enrollment as of 2013). Each student who becomes part of the Wolf Pack knows there are a few things that will always remain true to their school of the silver and blue.

1. It's Nevada, not Ne-vah-da.

Students are taught day one in orientation to say it right. I understand the other side of the country put some sort of weird spin on it, but it is our job as students at the University of Nevada, Reno to correct them and make sure our state is pronounced correctly.

2. We NEVER wear red.

Our pack stays away from the colors of our rivals at that college there in southern Nevada. We wear our colors proud and are encouraged to throw out anything that resembles the color red.

3. You're either from Las Vegas or the Bay Area.

There are a few exceptions. I've met the three students from Alaska, and there are the ones who come from abroad, but the main chunk of our student body comes from one of the two places listed. Even more so, I've come to realize that anyone at the University of Nevada, Reno who is from California claims it is the Bay Area (so sit down all you LA kids who think I missed you).

4.You know who Brian Kehoe is.

OK, maybe you're too young to have seen him on Janice Dickinson's Modeling Agency, but we all know that 30-something guy who lived in the dorms. (Cue all the "ohhs"). He's the patriotic poster boy of the university and a proud Sigma Nu and this is supposedly his last year at the university (Mr. Kehoe, I do not mean to offend. You're just the closest thing to fame we have, and I will use that for publicity any day).

5. JC is another mascot.

When we all attended orientation, there was no mention of the crowd-pleasing, spirit booster that is JC. His long brown hair and familiar garbs grabbed the attention of all fans as we've taken him in as another mascot for the university. Because he graduated this past fall, we will be on the look out for his disciple, but nothing will ever compare to you ("not Royce").

6. You didn't understand the girl wolf mascot.

Most schools have their one mascot who runs through the stands and gets the crowd going. At the University of Nevada, Reno, we have three and that's not including JC, who I added a minute ago. We have Alphie, Wolfie Jr., and Luna. Alphie was the OG mascot, and fans welcomed Woflie Jr. because he has the nice eyes. Then we felt the need to add another to the pack, which I guess made it an actual Wolf Pack rather than a wolf couple, but no one really gave that much interest to the female addition. How are you even related? At least there's some supposed uncle-nephew thing going on with Alphie and Wolfie Jr.

7. You knew the Wolf Den would eventually be closed.

I mean, do I even need to explain this one? Don't get me wrong, like many of my fellow students, I loved the Wolf Den because there was great food among other things. But come on, you can't serve to that many minors and not expect to get your liquor license taken. Still, thank you for all the great times, and I hope to see your doors open again one day.

8. You know that Sterling Sierra's rebranding to The Republic is not going to help.

A car crashing into your pool can't just be taken away with a different name. It doesn't work like that. I'm pretty sure things have been broken there more often than Taylor Swift's heart (and we all know that's a lot). I'm sorry, Sterling Sierra or The Republic or whatever you're going to switch your name to next. Things will always be broken there, just like the leases you're begging people to sign.

9. You would always pick the DC store over the actual DC any day.

Now, in college, everyone complains about their cafeteria, but from my days, no one would complain about the grilled cheese at the DC store. We would all wait until the DC closed just to get it. Even if that meant we didn't have dinner until 9 p.m., it was so worth it.

10. You love your school and couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

The University of Nevada, Reno is a school filled with pride, opportunity, and success. It's a Tier 1 school with true quality education, sports, and people. There's nowhere else I would rather be.
