15 Signs You Go To The College Of William And Mary
William and Mary

Bleeding with Green and Gold pride, the College of William and Mary is home to around 8,500 students. Despite the wonderful diversity at the school, there are some common struggles and inside jokes that most, if not all, students understand. Here are 15 signs you go to William and Mary and are a true member of the Tribe:

1. When you tell your friends you're going to "Swem" but it autocorrects to "swim" so your friends think you're going for a swim in the middle of December.

2. You have way more meal swipes than you need so you end up swiping in for coffee and ice cream on Tuesday.

3. You're stuck with watching upperclassmen fill up classes because they have priority registration.

4. You're an upperclassman and finally get the privilege of having priority registration.

5. You avoid wearing flip flops when you're going to study on the third floor of Swem.

6. You remember the terrors of freshmen housing.

7. When you go to The Crust, you get a skillet cookie. No exceptions.

8. You hold your breath every time you go return your dishes at the Caf because the dish return reeks of dirty socks and fish.

9. You're terrified of the squirrels and jump every time you hear rustling from the bushes.

10. You've tripped on bricks at least once.

11. You spend way too many nights walking up and down Richmond Road.

12. When your school's ranked #20 for partying in Virginia, and you didn't even realize that there are 20 schools in Virginia.

13. You always say you're interested in AMP events on Facebook but you never go to any of them.

14. You've gotten lost in the ISC at least once.

15. You spend way too much money on late night Wawa runs.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
