10 Things You Know To Be True If You Went To Louisiana Tech

"Lord, It's Hard To Be Humble When You're A Louisiana Tech Bulldog Fan!"

Louisiana Tech

1930

Meagan Lee

We all know that Louisiana Tech is the best university in the country. But it's the little quirks and special nuances that make our years on this campus so unforgettable.

How 'bout them dawgs??

1. The Spirit of '88 is not just a silly superstition.

Rubbing that shiny bulldog head has helped me pass many an exam; it's physically impossible for me to walk past the statue and not rub it for good luck.

2. It's not weird at all that our Lady Techsters wear a different shade of blue than our Bulldogs...

It's called tradition. And it makes us unique. And Colombia blue is just plain prettier for girls anyway!

3. Your hand is permanently formed into a dawg.

Teaching your parents and grandparents how to make the dawg can be challenging, though...

4. Tulips hold a special place in your heart.

There aren't many things better than the Quad in the spring.

5. Finding your brick for the first time is a monumental moment.

Proudest moment as an alumna.

6. DON'T STEP ON THE SEAL!

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS RED AND BLUE, WALK AROUND IT! DO NOT RISK YOUR GRADUATION!!

7. The Band of Pride is the absolute best.

Director Robkin's white hat is iconic on the field, and there is no one with more school spirit than these guys.

8. The Lady of The Mist:

*To the Miss Congeniality tune* She's beauty and she's grace; she's constantly covered in bubbles or a flag or something ridiculous...

9. Dr. Guice is probably the best university president in the country.

I mean really. How adorable is he? Not to mention he can walk through campus and greet dozens of random students by first name.

10. You hold your finger high and proud to show all that Louisiana Tech is number one in your heart.

"I will ever loyal be to thee, my alma mater."

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

255

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
