Peru State College is known for many different things, from our many oak trees to our reputation as one of the best schools for future teachers. But what makes us students stand out? What makes it obvious you're a Peru student? It's almost as simple as having it written on your forehead. But in case you're having a hard time pinpointing what makes you an obvious Peru student, here are a few specifics describing ways you know you go to Peru State College.
1. Wednesdays have become annual grilled cheese for lunch days.
"On Wednesdays, we eat grilled cheese."
2. If you own at least 50 shades of blue, you know you go to Peru State!
"If you're blushing, you might go to Peru State."
3. When the town's population decreases by 80% when campus closes.
(Towns People) - "...it's so quiet around here in the summertime and during Christmas, but I just can't put my finger on why it gets this way."
4. No matter where you go, you always run into someone you know.
You've met and will meet a lot of great people.. but seeing them 5 different times in one day seems to get a bit overwhelming.
5. When the professors know you skipped because the class sizes are so small.
Remember on the syllabus where it said "syllabus is subject to change at any time during the year?" Well, that time is today because the professor knows you skipped, POP QUIZ!
6. If you have made late night snacking, (Night at the Bob) an every night outing.
Freshman 15? That was so first semester! Let's just multiply that by 2.
7. When you know at least 10 Education Majors.
"What are you majoring in?"
"I'm an education major!"
"Oh, no way, me too!"
8. If you understand the struggle of wearing 4 layers of clothing during complex/campus walks in the winter.
Better grab a coat.. or three! You know what, I'll just bring a blanket as well.
9. When your roommates turn into family.
Through the good and the bad you keep remembering that you can't chose your family and although they aren't blood, after a year of living with them, you couldn't imagine them as only friends.
10. Last but not least, you know you go to Peru State when you've loved your unique experience so much that you can't wait to return!
It's about time summer is over! Peru State College is our home away from home!
