West Virginia University and all it's glory. If you're ever wondering what school someone goes to, look for these traits.
1. Parking Money < Thirsty Thursday
It’s a Wednesday night. You know you have class in the morning and you have $1.50 in quarters in preparation for parking. You’ll be parked there for more than an hour, but you’ll hope you don’t get a ticket. You look at those quarters on your desk and think, “But it’s Thirsty Thursday…” If you go to Annex you can get drinks for 25 cents, and for all of you who know it by it’s former name, you know it’s glory. Come on, Thursdays are basically free drinks, are you going to pass it up?
2. No Where To Park... Ever.
You’re on your way to class and you’re awake and ready to learn. Most days you’re overtired and groggy, but no, not today. You put your left turn signal on to pull into the Mountainlair garage. Instantly you see break lights everywhere, and guess what? Not one single spot. You drive around and someone’s backing out. You’re waiting for them to back out, then suddenly someone cuts you off and steals it. So, now you get out your phone and text that one kid that always sends you the notes and you take your loss and leave.
3. What's The Move?
You have headphones in on your way to math. You see someone you know, so you take them out to talk to them. They ask you what you’re doing tonight, and the infamous, “Are you going downtown tonight?”, or “Is anything going on tonight?” comes up in conversation.
4. Country Roads, Take Me Home
You’re at a house party with your friends and none of you know who’s house it is. All of a sudden you feel a connection in the room. Yes, Country Roads is blaring through the cheap speakers of a college house and everyone inside is singing along.
5. I Shouldn't Yell This Right Now, But I Will..
Now it’s getting a little out of control because every time you hear the word Pitt you want to scream, “EAT SHIT PITT!” No matter where you are, you just can’t contain it.
When you hear “Let’s go!” in any context you want to yell, “MOUNTAINEERS!”
6. Early Classes Are For The Birds
It’s time to schedule classes and you’re avoiding 8:30’s at all costs. You’re going to avoid 9:30’s as well because let’s face it, 9:30 is an 8:30 in disguise.
7. Hi, My Name's Jimmy Frey
If you recognize this name you're probably familiar with this line: "Hey add me on Snapchat!", and somehow every Friday you hear, "Happy Freyday!" I'm not sure how, but you see him everywhere and everyone knows him. He'll always say, "Put your number in my phone!" and you'll probably reply with, "Yeah, you already have it, I met you yesterday..."
8. Life Science Stairs... Dun Dun Dun
You’re walking to psychology and you’re already pacing yourself. You’re about to take on the Life Science stairs. Say that out loud, you’ll cringe. Don’t worry though, by the end you’ll have phenomenal legs. That’s one of the perks of having a campus with mountains.
9. But At Least I Live Downtown, Right?
You’re looking for a house to live in and you finally found one. It’s falling apart, overpriced, kind of gross; But it’s downtown. You’re sold.
10. Casa Pizza, Is The Pizza For You And Me!
You’re walking up High Street (maybe stumbling) after a night out. You and your best friend look at each other and you both say, “Casa?” at the same time. Sometimes you'll even offer to pay for their slice, and they'll act like it's the best gift they've ever recieved. Yes, the pizza is way better when you’re drunk, and no, it never gets old when you’re drunk.
11. I Have To Get A 100% On My Final To Get A 'B' In This Class...
12. Dogs And Hammocks, Everywhere
The weather is starting to get nice again. There are people just swinging from trees in hammocks. There are dogs everywhere and you probably want to pet them all. People are throwing footballs and baseballs and you're praying you don't get hit. Oh, and if you know about the duck rentals you might see a few ducklings running around.
