1. We're better than Waubonsie Valley.

We're like Waubonsie 2.0, the newer, better version of the Valley Schools.

2. Metea who?

As much as they try to be a part of the Valley Schools, Meatea Valley just doesn't register as competition to us.

3. Neuqua isn't that hard to spell.

You just have to remember the two u's.

4. We've got 7+ Grammy Awards.

Which means that our school's music department is da bomb (this is one of those things we take pride in...even if we're not in the music department ever).

5. Keith from the Try Guys went to Neuqua for his senior year.

Is there anything we can't do?

6. Upstate Eight was better than DVC.

Can you tell I'm bitter we don't have a literary festival anymore?

7. Even though Waubonsie is our rival, if we didn't win, we'd rather they win than any other school...say Naperville North for example.

If we lose (which we don't), we'd rather lose to the winners.

8. District 204 is better than 203.

It's simply a fact.

9. Even though you go to Neuqua for 4 years, you still have middle school allegiance.

Where are my Scullen kids at?

10. Long live the Neuqua Goose.

Despite your talent at scaring the living shit out of us and attacking every human that dares to sully you with their presence.

11. If you've ever walked the Catwalk, you're basically a Legend.

Because who doesn't want to walk the Catwalk.

12. Calc 3 was death

But the stories were worth it.

13. The Birkett Freshman Center (BFC) is still the Gold Building.

Yes, I know it's supposed to honor staff...blah blah...it's still the Gold Building.

14. Kevin Cordes went to Neuqua.

If having an Olympic swimmer as an alumni isn't cool, I don't know what is.

15. Writer's Week was an awesome time to chill.

And even if you didn't enjoy the writing, you at least had a week off of English classes.

16. Who the fuck was Yifan Zhao?

You know, the guy who walked passed 95th every day...like who is he really?

Note: I mean this in the nicest way possible. To Neuqua students, Yifan Zhao is a mystery, a legend. I do not want anyone to mistake this as him being weird or somehow a mean person. In fact, I have been assured by a friend that his is a nice guy... however, for now, to Neuqua, he will remain a mystery.

17. Deathrow Derrow is actually a badass.

She stared down two muggers with a gun, and stared them dead in the eyes and told them to shoot.

"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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
