10 Things All UT Dallas Students Know To Be True
UT Dallas

The culture at the University of Texas at Dallas is unlike anything you will find elsewhere. The campus is full of incredibly unique people with different passions that make the campus so diverse and special. Whether you live on campus or are a beloved Road Warrior commuting, each UT Dallas student has their own experience and these the ten things each of us know to be true:

1. Your all time favorite joke is telling people that UTD's football team is undefeated.

Undefeated since 1969, baby!

2. UTD's mascot is something from your nightmares.

Think you've seen that grin peeking out from your closet at night? It's probably just Temoc. His name is COMET spelled backwards, because our school is creative like that.

3. Trying to find a parking space has made you a better stalker.

Whether you're blessed to have a gold or green sticker, we're all in the battle together, so enjoy your thirty minutes of daily afternoon stalking.

4. You'll graduate with a record number of parking tickets.

You have no proof, but you know they're out to get you.

5. Oh you want some Panda Express for lunch? Enjoy your hour long wait.

Don't even think about cutting out of line to go to Subway or Chick-fil-a. It's not any better. If you want to skip the lines all together, just pop on over to Ben and Jerry's. According to childhood science, It's okay to have ice cream for lunch every day.

6. The campus has been under construction since your freshmen year.

"Oh we need new sidewalks? Let's shut down the entire north side of campus for eight months." Best idea we've had all year!

7. You've perfected the Whoosh and have used the mini-whoosh on appropriate occasions.

Got that cute girl's number? Mini-whoosh. Scored an A+ in Chem 1? Mini-Whoosh. It's the sound a comet would make if there was any sound in space. Obviously.

8. You've become an avid supporter of the chess team.

Did you know they can play chess blindfolded too? PROTECT YOUR BISHOP, GLENN!

9. Finals is almost like UTD's own special family holiday. Everyone is celebrating together in the library without any shoes on. It's fantastic.

Ah, the smell of McDermott in the wee hours of finals week. We here at UTD do not believe in deodorant or any kind of perfume... especially during finals week.

10. No matter what organization, major, or residential hall you are apart of, you love UTD no matter what. It is your home and you wouldn't change a thing.

Well, except for the parking... and the constant construction... but other than that it's great!

So have a fantastic semester Comets, and continue whooshing your way to graduation!

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"
