Hipsters: They're everywhere, man. And they come in so many flavors. Some are crunchy, some are a weird mix of mustache wax and micro-brews and others are all natural vegans, but everyday is "cheat day." One show has taken to making fun of a particular strain of hipsters from Portland, Ore.: "Portlandia," an IFC comedy on Netflix starring Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein. And you know where else there's a high concentration of hipsters? That's right, Berry College. So here are a few ways the hipsters of Portlandia are just like the hipsters of Berry College.

1. That one guy who really, really loves his Patagonia.

Oh hey, dude, that guy has the same one as you...and so does that guy...huh.

2. How the Berry Bookstore and Oak Hill Gift Shop sell anything and everything with the Berry Bald Eagles on it.

3. Those girls who block the dessert counter because they can't decide if they want the peanut butter cookies or the chocolate chip ones.

Can I just scoot by real quick? 'Scuse me, sorry...sorry...

4. Hanging around after a late night to see if you can take some of the extra food back to your dorm with you.



5. With the new stadium, a lot of people are going to have to learn how to cheer for a sports team now.

"Sports!"

6. The day you mistakenly run into the not-so-friendly campus feminist.

7. When everyone and their grandma are up at the Res.

8. And when there are some seriously under/over prepared people up there too.

9. When you start to realize that Yik Yak kinda sucks, and half the time it's just freshmen looking for hook-ups.

Meet hot new singles in your area or read complaints about D-hall.

10. That awkward sexual experience with one of your peers for the first time.

11. And it's not as spontaneous or satisfying like you expected.

...But there will be sweat and a max of two minutes of cuddling.

12. That one off-campus tourist that feels that it's appropriate to treat you like a tour guide.

Leave the bubble Simba, and never return.

13. And when you finally get that night outside the Berry Bubble.

"Bro! You just spilled your drink on my Chacos!"

Check out "Portlandia" on Netflix today!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
