How PC are you?

26 Signs You Go To Providence College
John Fischer

Providence College (aka Friartown) is a small, liberal arts college that's located on the outskirts of Providence, R.I. It's community, like other colleges/universities, composed of students, faculty members, administrators and staff members. Its community, however, is also what separates Friartown from other colleges/universities. This is because the other college/university communities are not composed of the same individuals who make up PC's community. Consequently, there are many different signs that, collectively, identify you as a member of Friartown's community! Here are 26 signs you go to Providence College:

1. You know who lives in this house.

2. After sitting down on one of PC's many outdoor benches, a squirrel has jumped out of a trash can and scared the crap out of you.

3. While walking to and from class, you've noticed that people look down at the ground when they see someone they know. Just as they're passing each other, however, both parties look up and say "hey" to each other and then immediately look down at the ground again.

It's painful to watch.

4. You order take-out from Big Tony's, Wings Over Providence, Golden Crust, Lili Wok or Little Chopsticks.

5. When you go out to dinner, you go to a restaurant on either Federal Hill or Thayer St.

6. The Abbey is your favorite place to grab a burger and a beer.

7. Vineyard Vines, Vineyard Vines everywhere!

8. If you're a girl, you wear Lilly dresses during the spring.

9. If you're a guy, you own at least one pair of nantucket red shorts.

10. You constantly accuse Ray Dining Hall's food of having laxatives in them (gross).

11. You hate your PC ID picture because you look totally different than you did at the beginning of your freshman year.


12. You've come to terms with the fact that Friar Dom is probably the creepiest mascot in the country.

13. You either loved or despised PC's Development Of Western Civilizations Program.

14. Each year, you venture out to see if anyone does anything stupid during Civ Scream.

But you're usually disappointed because Civ Scream usually just ends up being a large crowd of students who are standing in a circle complaining that nothing is happening.

15. You refer to Providence as "Friartown" or "Prov."

16. You think that Providence College, not Brown University, is the most iconic college/university in Providence, R.I.

After all, the city's name is in the name of our college.

17. When you see people wearing these jackets, you immediately know what club they're a part of.

18. You go to the bars on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

19. On the weekends, you pre-game in Suites Hall or in one of the on-campus apartment halls.

And then you go to the bars and/or the house parties on Eaton Street.

20. Until it became our school's mission to shut it down, Golf Party was the most fun party of every semester.

21. You have Instagrammed a picture of St. Dominic's Chapel at least once per season or whenever there is a beautiful sunset.

22. If you see a picture of this guy, or if you see him on TV, the first thing that you do is brag about how he is a Providence College alumnus.

You also usually refer to him as J. Peterman (the character he played in "Seinfeld") rather than referring to him by his real name, Mr. John O'Hurley.

23. If you attended any of the PC Hockey games in the past 2 years, you know what this is.

24. These guys are two of your biggest role models.

25. When we won this, you have never been prouder to be a part of the Friar Family.

26. Once you realize that Friartown is your home, you never ever want transfer to another college/university.

And you never ever wish that you'd decided to attend a different college/university.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
