10 Things All UNC Greensboro Students Know Too Well

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

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
