10 Things All UNC Greensboro Students Know Too Well

Ciara Gazaway

If you're one of the 20,000 lucky students that get to attend UNC Greensboro, you know there are some things that are only a part of a Spartan's reality! Here are the top 10:

1. Seeing squirrels do parkour in the trees no longer phases you

Whether it's holding an entire bag of chips in its mouth or doing flips from branch to branch, you learn to embrace the crazy squirrels and never get in their way.

2. The Clock Tower is no joke

"I don't believe in superstitions!" Okay....but I know you're not going to walk under the Clock Tower until you have your diploma in your hand!

3. No one likes to admit it, but Minerva is the real deal

We've all had the one class where you really just need some extra help, and Minerva always works her magic!

4. You MUST look both ways before crossing College Ave otherwise a biker will take your life

No explanation needed.

5. It doesn't matter if it's the middle of winter, you will still get ice cream from Yum Yums

It is always the perfect weather for a Yum Yum's hot dog and ice cream!

6. All your friends who go to other schools are jealous of our rec center

The 92 Million dollar beauty that is the Kaplan Wellness Center is the new selling point of UNCG and it's no secret that other schools are a little envious.

7. Ms. Brenda is a precious human being and we must protect her at all costs

If you don't know who Ms. Brenda is, do you even go to UNCG?

8. Spartan Village Phase II was the only good thing that came out of 2017

Pita Delite, Taco Bao, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Homeslice Pizza, and The Den..What more do I have to say?

9. Going through the EUC at class change time? Headphones in, head down, and try not to make eye contact with someone handing out a flyer

Again, no explanation needed.

10. You proudly say our football team is undefeated

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
