When you opened the envelope and saw the words "Congratulations!" written on your acceptance letter, you were ecstatic to be going to the University of Washington. Moving into your dorm or Greek house was exciting, and you were so ready to start classes and be independent as a college student. Until you realized you had to apply to be in your major, classes in Kane are a joke, registering for classes is impossible, and the campus is a maze. Sound familiar? If it does, chances are these memes will too.
1. Being "boundless" with competitive majors
The words "capacity constrained" bring a tear to your eye.
2. Majoring in CS
Want to be a CS major? You better be talking about Canadian Studies because unless you have a 4.0, a letter of recommendation from the president, and are the founder of Google, then Computer Science is off the table.
3. Red Square is a dangerous place
Even though someone got shot in Red Square that one time, I am referring to how whenever it rains, the bricks turn into that slip n' slide from your 8th birthday.
4. The brand new Suzzalo Starbucks...with two employees
My application to work there was rejected so I know that there are more than 2 people who want to work there. I shouldn't wait for a half hour for a latte.
5. Kane hall's blessing: Panopto
8:30 am classes? Panopto. Raining? Panopto. Hungover? Panopto.
6. Aleks
No one who has ever taken a chem class will name their child "Alex" after having to do Aleks. Triggered.
7. This is library
Hey. Hey. HEY. This is Library.
8. The Health Sciences building maze
If you have a class here, good luck finding it by the end of the quarter.
9. HFS raising rent every year
Get out while you can.
10. Paying money to take a test
Us: Will scantrons be provided?
UW: Hahaha. No.
11. West Campus versus North Campus
West Campus: Modern design, spacious rooms, private bathrooms, large kitchen, huge laundry room.
North Campus: Ted Bundy lived here once.
12. English classes in the fisheries building
Extra Perk: Not being able to schedule classes before or after because walking to Fisheries is the modern-day Oregon trail.
13. Registering for classes
Realizing that you forgot to accept the optional charges for next quarter, and not getting into a single class.
14. Walking on the Ave at night
Aladdins is worth it though.
15. The bookstoreBuying a $40 book, not using it, then selling it back for $3.
