25 Ways You Know You Go To UNCW

UNCW has easily become my home away from home. I have made some amazing memories on this campus and off and I couldn't imagine my life anywhere else. UNCW is perfect for beach lovers, considering the beach is only five minutes away (on a good day). Here are 25 ways you know you go to UNCW!

1. Beach Blast is the best way to kick off a new year.

2. You try to avoid Bear and Morton at all costs because it's always 100 degrees in there.

3. You've gone to the beach with the intent to study but found yourself admiring the view instead.

4. You have nightmares about skateboarders and bikers.

5. Beware of the crazy squirrels and geese.

6. Always carrying an umbrella or rain jacket just in case.

7. Instead of snow days, we get flood days.

8. Finding a place to park is like finding a needle in a hay stack.

9. Visitors ask where our football field is.

10. Missing your bus because this school doesn't have it together.

11. HawkWifi always seems to be down whenever you have homework due.

12. Always having sand in your car.

13. The Chick-fil-A line is always out the door -- especially at breakfast time.

14. You know the "Waggles" are a real nightmare.

15. Your closet is full of free T-shirts and most of them all have the exact same thing on them.

16. Class registration day is like the Hunger Games.

17. When Wilmington can't figure out what season were in.

18. Crossing Chancellors is like playing Frogger.

19. Wagsgiving is the only time you will see that many people at Wag.

20. Finding a clean cup at Wag can be a struggle.

21. The mad dash between a class in Bear and one in Teaching Lab in ten minutes.

22. Sweating through all of your clothes during the the first part of fall semester. Don't bother trying to look cute, there is no point.

23. When you walk to class it's sunny and 70 but when class is over, there's a monsoon outside.

24. Wishing you had classes in the Education Building because it's so beautiful. (Shoutout to us Education Majors who are in there all of the time).

25. Our life is your vacation.We can visit the beach whenever we please, Rain or Shine.

Let's face it, we have one of the most beautiful campuses on the east coast and I am proud to be a Seahawks.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
