There’s something special about being in this tiny town in South Carolina. Whether you come to Clemson on a gameday in the Fall or on a sweltering, Summer day, Clemson is a truly amazing place. If you’re a Clemson Tiger, you’ll know these __ things to be true.

1. Your closet is full of orange and purple

2. The Tiger is your favorite animal

3. The Tiger mascot is your favorite person

He’s the perfect symbol to get you pumped up for game day. He’s great with kids and is always willing to take photos.

4. Walking across campus is your “leg day”

There is something in these hills - and it’s muscle gain. If you’re a Clemson Tiger you know that walking across campus is a major workout.

5. Hearing the Tiger Band is music to your ears

Having an amazing band on game days adds to the atmosphere. Hearing them play the alma mater is the perfect ending to a game - win or lose.

6. The fall is your favorite time of year

Clemson football, tailgating, not to mention the beautiful scenery on campus, could you ask for a better time of year?

7. You’ve mastered how to deal with the weather

One day it’s 70 degrees, sunny, and all around beautiful. The next is 35 degrees and snow is falling. In the morning, it’s freezing. By afternoon, you’re sweating walking across campus. Being in Clemson, you’ve mastered how to prepare for the unpredictable weather.

8. You never miss a cadence count

C-L-E-M-S-O-N T-I-G-E-Rrrrr-S Fight Tigers! Fight Tigers! Fight fight fight! If you’re not leading the cadence’s count, you’re screaming it.

9. You know that Dabo is a gift from God

He’s classy, kind, and the best damn coach in the country.

10. Parking services makes you want to suck it up and walk to campus

There’s never any parking available, and when there is, you somehow manage to get a ticket.

11. You care more about getting your TTT’s shirt on your 21st birthday than actually drinking

12. Your Clemson family means the world to you

If you’re a Clemson Tiger, you know the meaning of being a part of the Clemson Family. They’re your support system and they’ve got your back no matter what.

13. Getting your class ring is one of your top motivators to continue studying

Not only is it beautiful, but the symbolism behind your class ring will make all the all-nighters worth it.

14. You opt to study abroad in the Spring semester so you don’t miss football season

15. You seriously consider sticking around for an extra semester to get one more football season

16. You take solid orange Friday very seriously

17. You wouldn’t want to go to school anywhere else.

Clemson is home, it’s your family, and it will hold a special place in your heart long past graduation.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
