3 Signs You Go To IWU
Mapio

If you’re like me, you probably spend a good chunk of your day wondering, “Do I go to Illinois Wesleyan University?” Well after some deep thinking and a 30 day intensive saga-food-only diet, I’ve figured out 3 definitive ways to know if you go to IWU.

1.You are capable of recognizing yourself in an image.

This is pretty much the equivalent of dressing as Terrance the Titan to the local sporting events. I can say with relative certainty that nearly every IWU student is capable of recognizing themselves in an image. In fact, just today I was sitting in the chimney of Shirk talking with some fellow chimney-sitters about how stellar it is that we can all recognize ourselves in an image.

2.Somewhere out there, there is an IWU ID with your image on it.

This is a tough one, and that’s exactly why IWU is such a tour de force academically. Just like all bears love honey, and all penguins wear red bow ties, pretty much every IWU student has an IWU ID doppelgänger out there somewhere. Who knows, he or she might even be sitting next to you at saga!


3.You attend classes at Illinois Wesleyan University.

This is what separates the designer Coach® bags from the free giveaways you get for giving your email to an insurance company. I suppose there is a remote possibility that a non-IWU student could have an ID doppelgänger, and theoretically (I can’t stress this enough – this is purely theoretical) they may be able to recognize themselves in an image. BUT if they don’t attend classes at IWU, there is literally no way they could be an IWU student. Like really, no way. This is the number one tell tale sign: if you attend classes at IWU, you most likely go to IWU.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
