15 Things Every UNC Charlotte Student Is Guilty Of
UNCC Advising Center

With over 28,000 students enrolled at UNC Charlotte, you would expect every student to have a completely different experience during their four (or five) years as an undergraduate. But if you're a true 49er, you should be guilty of all of the following...

1. You've been to a tailgate without ever actually attending a game.

Everyone simultaneously evaporates into thin air. Nowhere to be found.

2. You've walked into Peet's or Starbucks for a coffee and left because the line didn't move at all.

There's actually a freshman in Fretwell right now waiting for a coffee he ordered on the first day of class.

3. You've been harassed by a goose.

UNC Charlotte Demographic: 24 percent female, 32 percent male, 44 percent geese.

4. You've cancelled plans with your friends to avoid North Tryon traffic.

1.2 miles away. 45 minute drive.

5. You've ordered an Avalanche at Pelican's.

Okay, maybe this was just me.

6. You've had to drop a class because you couldn't figure out what language your professor was speaking.

A Russian dictionary might as well be required reading for the course.

7. You've successfully avoided the 'Freshman 15' thanks to all of the stairs you're forced to walk every day.

Every day is leg day.

8. You've had Jimmy John's delivered to Atkins countless times.

You know that your total with delivery and tax is $8.39 exactly. And it's worth every penny.

9. You've suffered serious digestive issues from eating at Crown.

"I can't come to the library tonight. I'm......uh......sick."

10. You've taken a snapchat of the Belk Tower preachers attempting to convert everyone to Christianity.

Have you ever been told that you're damned to hell and on a path of complete self destruction by a man you just met six seconds ago? We have!

RIP Belk Tower

11. You've spent hours looking for your classroom in Colvard.

Who is responsible for the design of this building? We all have some serious questions for you.

12. You've stood in line for an hour to return/sell back your textbooks.

*Waits for an hour and gets $6 back*

13. You've skipped a class because you couldn't find a parking spot.

This must be a sign from the universe to go home and take a nap.

14. You've had to skip lunch because Bojangles ran out of chicken.

You had one job.

15. You've spent the last three semesters trying to register for that one last class you need to finally declare your major.

I'll just change my major. That sounds easier.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
