1. You call it “The Puge”

And you get all defensive if someone not from UPS tries to tell you that's weird. But it's not weird. I promise.

2. A class is “too big” if there are more than 20 people in it

Small class size = happy students.

3. You pet at least one dog a day

Look at the instagram "dogsofpugetsound," and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about...dogs and UPS just go together!

4. “TP” isn't toilet paper

Well, if you get deep... I guess you could? But in all seriousness, Todd Phibbs is a wonderful place to live.

5. Birkenstocks are essential

Just like every other college campus, Birkenstocks are the bee's knees.

6. Mount Rainier is a common view

Sometimes we take the beauty for granted, but we are thankful for the view everyday.

7. The slight fear you have of Grizz

The mascot is not only contradicting (a bear dressed as a logger), but it is scary.

8. Todd Field

The soccer/rugby/kickball/baseball/softball/frisbee field accompanied with many hammocks and the sunny-day studiers.

9. The shock of seeing someone new on campus

The campus is so small that at times you can forget that you really haven't seen everyone. But it is always nice to see new faces!

10. Trying to explain to your friends that is a private school but not religious

Very confusing for them, very frustrating for you.

11. “Where is Tacoma?” “Oh…like Seattle”

We all know that hour-long truth.

12. Being mistaken for a packaging company

Need I say more?

13. The “Bay Area”ers

"Where are you from?" "The Bay Area."

14. Oppenheimer and Oppenheimer

"Oh so you live in the coffee shop?" Yes. People live in the coffee shop.

15. The abnormally close relationship you have to your professors

Texting your professors to find out if the due date is accurate, you know, normal things.

16. Feeling as if you're in the presence of a celebrity when you're near an acapella singer

I stood next to one in line at the SUB yesterday and I could feel my heart pumping.

17. Trying to figure out who “Martino” is

Martino. The legend. The parties.

18. Being pata-Gucci

Patagonia is the fit.

19. Smelling like The Cellar

When you and your friends are so hungry before going out so you go to The Cellar and end up smelling like pizza for five years.

20. The terror of cupless Friday

it would be fine if there were actually enough cups for everyone.

21. Collecting stickers for your Nalgene

They need to be in just the right place to give off just the right vibe. Sometimes this will even include saving up for months.

22. You rep UPS hard

All my life I want to be a logger! HACK HACK! CHOP CHOP!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
