28 Signs You Went To Interlochen Arts Academy

1. Getting accepted was one of the happiest days of your life.


2. You tried to get away with not wearing your uniform... and you usually got away with it.


3. You constantly doubted your artistic abilities...


4. ...and were constantly amazed by all your disgustingly talented friends.


5. You had to get creative with your hookup spots.

"Meet me in the organ building after your oboe lesson."


6. You still crave the MoFro's cheesy garlic bread.


7. ...and the cookie sandwiches!


8. You've braved the frigid tundra known as "Winterlochen."

The Bear is all of us.


9. You had some of the most passionate and talented teachers in the world.


10. ...and you cried in front of at least three of them.


11. You wanted to live in DeRoy.

Curse you, MPA majors and fourth-years! #stillbitter.


12. You complained about the Stone food.


13. You peed on the Bear, or at least *debated* peeing on the Bear.

Josh Groban? Totally peed on the Bear.


14. You ordered Bud's on the reg.


15. You are all too familiar with the struggle that is trying to fly in and out of Cherry Capital Airport during winter.

Your flight's leaving on time? Jokes.


16. You know Rotundances are far superior to the dances held in the Fine Arts building.


17. College application season was the most stressful time ever...


18. ...but it turned out pretty OK, regardless if you ended up going to a college or pursuing an alternative route.


19. You did your grocery shopping at Tom's.

#neverforget


20. You always came back to campus with a different hairstyle and/or color after breaks.


21. You get serious FOMO when you see pictures from Inty reunions that you can't make it to.


22. You busted out your shorts as soon as it hit 40 degrees.


23. You know Morp > Prom.


24. You staged a #YOLO moment for when you accepted your diploma.


25. You're friends with some of the most gifted artists from around the world.


26. You sometimes fear that you've already lived the best years of your life at Inty.


27. When you see a fellow Interlochener outside of Interlochen, you treat them like family, because -- let's be real -- they basically are.


28. You wouldn't trade your time at Interlochen for the world.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection.

Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
