Every college has their cliches, right?

10 Signs You're An HLGU Trojan
Alisha Ramsey

So, like I have said in previous articles, I am about to go into my junior year at Hannibal LaGrange University. And to be completely honest, I am really excited, but also pretty terrified. The real world is just around the corner. However, the point is that I feel like I know the students, faculty and school itself pretty well. So I am going to give past and present students something to relate to.

Here we go — 10 Signs You're An HLGU Trojan:

Sign #1:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you have seen the bell flipped upside-down more than you have seen it right-side up.

Sign #2:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you know everyone on campus. Or at least know of everyone on campus. It's pretty small.

Sign #3:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you see the Theatre people and the Wrestlers eating dinner together.

Sign #4:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you have noticed that Dr. Bergen could probably out run you. After you have noticed this you start thinking about how you should probably take advantage of that free membership at the YMCA.

Sign #5:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you either hate or love the concept of "Ring By Spring". There really is no in between.

Sign #6:

You are an HLGU Trojan if your teachers know you by your first name instead of just another number.

Sign #7:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you sometimes feel like life at HLG would be a great reality show with all of the quirky and fun stuff that happens on campus. Plus, the people on campus are pretty entertaining. Who wouldn't want to watch it? You have comedy, drama, romance. I mean, I would watch it.

Sign #8:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you have lost track of how many times you have skipped chapel.

Sign #9:

You're an HLGU Trojan if the singing competition at your school has more choreography than singing.

Sign #10:

You're an HLGU Trojan if you pay money to go out with a guy. AKA The Date Auction.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
