22 Ways You Know You Go To Judson

We love our school!

22 Ways You Know You Go To Judson
Miranda Brown

1. We say stuff like MBS, MLS, MTS, etc.

This is in reference to the big/little sister program we have at school. MBS = My Big Sis, MLS = My Little Sis, MTS = My Twin Sis. We also say MRM = My Roommate

2. Serenades

Our seniors dress up in caps and gowns and sing songs to the underclassmen almost once a month.

3. We walk to church together.

Whether on Rose Sunday, or just an average Sunday, one of the things I like most is walking to church with my friends.

4. Our President, Dr. Potts, sits on the floor and asks students what classes they plan to take.

5. We make each other signs for everything.

These are just simple pieces of decorated scrapbook paper, but they can make a bad day turn into a good one if a sign is left at your door.

6. Sparkling Grape Juice

We drink this stuff like it is going out of style.

7. "Judson Code"

This is something unique to Judson. Included below is our Pledge of Honor.

"On my honor as a member of the Judson College community, I will at all times strive to be honest in thought, word, and deed; to be responsible for my own actions; to maintain my own integrity and the integrity of the College; and to earn the trust of the rest of the community."

8. We are close to our professors.

We have class at professors' homes sometimes. We are able to have better relationships with our professors because we have smaller class sizes.

9. Step Sing

Whenever we have traditions on campus, we host a Step Sing for guests who come on campus. We stand outside on the main steps of Jewett Hall and sing songs that have been sung before we were even born.

10. "Is that JCA?"

JCA = Judson College Appropriate. We respect not only ourselves, but also our school.

11. Pageant

A pageant that is not actually a pageant. Pageant is actually a play that the little sister class puts on for their big sister class.

12. We know maintenance, security, and housekeeping by name.

13. We know everyone we pass on campus.

14. We know not to have glitter near the pianos.

15. We sing the blessing together during lunch at least once a week.

16. Field Hockey

17. Animals

Not only do we wait a semester to claim our littles, we also belong to animal families instead of popular sororities. Parrots rock!

18. Dr. Betty, Dr. Wilson, and Dr. Williams

If you don't know this golden trio, I feel bad for you.

19. Senior Privileges

If you make it to the top, you are rewarded with many awesome privileges, like eating lunch first on Tuesdays after chapel.

20. Sisterhood across the times

We feel connected to the women who have come before us and the women who will come after us.

21. Group student emails

These can be some of the best emails or some of the worst emails.

22. You can wake up 10 minutes before class and still make it on time.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Top 10 Lessons I Learned My Freshman Year

The first year of college opens your eyes to so many new experiences.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
