It's that time of year again, folks. It's time for America's Greatest Homecoming. For weeks, people have been patiently building the decks that have made this school so iconic, and it is almost time for all of the hard work to pay off. But first, there's one thing that has to happen: all-night pomp. Through the good and the bad, there are certain things everyone pomping thinks, and here they are.

1. When it's finally time for your shift and you're thinking "I can do this. This isn't so bad."

2. When you realize you're going to be spending a good part of your night pomping

3. When you look around and the pomping room is full and there are suddenly way too many people

4. When all of the seniors come into the room after their bar crawl and are loud for no real reason

5. When the boys are taking forever to pomp so the girls have to take over

6. When you've been pomping too long and you start to get hangry

7. When you start thinking about having to go to class the next morning running on no sleep

8. When you realize that your shift is almost over

9. When your shift is over and you walk out of the pomping room for the last time

10. When you look at your house's deck and proudly think, "I helped make that."
