15 Signs You're On A FRC Team

1. You barely talk to anyone in school, but are a social butterfly at Robotics.


2. Pit scouting somehow always means button collecting.


3. Actual button collecting time is "Let's try to get the rubber bracelets before everyone else does" time.


4. If you went to St. Louis, your face was like this when you saw the pits:

5. You looked forward to out-of-state competitions because you get to stay in a hotel.


6. When your team got picked to be on an alliance, all of you are like...


7. At competitions, you get excited when they play songs that come with a dance.


8. If the team social involves dancing, you're either a wallflower or you dance to every song no matter how vocal you usually are about not liking it.


"I thought you hated One Direction!"


"Oh honey, that's when it's not first Robotics Day in Chicago."

9. If you normally live under a rock when it comes to pop songs, you aren't after competition is over.

Remember when you didn't know any of the words to "Call Me Maybe" and "You Don't Know You're Beautiful?" Can't say that anymore.

10. This was you when your team won an award and walked through the stands to go get it.

11. During match scouting you're either Harry or Ron.


12. Your mascot is fancy as heck.

13. This is a book about one of your robotics T-shirts, isn't it?

If it's not, it's about one of your teammates' T-shirts.

14. You know who Dean Kamen is.

15.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
