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.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
