17 Signs You're Back at Pitt
Incoming Student Resources

Another year at Pitt has finally arrived! From South O to North O and everything in between, here are 17 signs you've made it back to your favorite school on earth.

1. Sylly "week" lasted for all of a good ten minutes

IF YOUR SCHOOL HAS AN ENTIRE WEEK OF NOTHING, DON'T TALK TO ME.

2. You raided the activities fair to get all of the free stuff


3. The line for Cathy Cafe is out the door

4. Meanwhile, the line at the bookstore is approximately seven miles long

5. You have browsed through all the new script gear and considered buying Chuck's entire tent.

JUST LOOK AT IT! BEAUTIFUL!

6. The Pete is PACKED.

It's like New Year's in August. Give it time.

7. You have crashed freshman orientation events to get free food and/or stuff

Why yes, I am a first year moving into the Quad. I'll just take this ice cream bar and be on my way.

8. Speaking of freshmen, you see them walking around in groups of 86

9. You're so ready for football just because you want to sing Sweet Caroline

10. You always check to see if you have your ID before leaving your room.

Because the one time you forget to check, you won't have it.

11. You already had to tackle the *gulp* hill

12. Market and Perch food is at its peak for about three days

(Sorry to any freshman readers, but your best days are behind you)

13. The thought of getting hit by a bus for free tuition re-enters your head

"Some people swear they saw me push her in front of the bus. That was an even worse rumor."

14. Rainy days are filled with anxiety over untrustworthy buses with large splash radii.

15. The Fifth walk sign is already on your last nerve

16. You keep getting emails about student health Insurance

But everything is A-ok because

17. You get to see your favorite tall building every day

Is this what true love is like?


Welcome back and Hail to Pitt!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
