33 Signs You're A GCSU Bobcat

"Milledgeville? Isn't that, like, where crazy people go?" Oh, Milledgeville, how I love you. I love your abandoned insane asylum, your abundance of fast food places, but most importantly, your school. (I do hate the lack of Target though. What a struggle.) Georgia College and State University is home to 6,600 students and faculty alike. And when I say home, I mean it. Every person I know that has walked on this campus and felt the immediate need and urge to call Milledgeville (aka "Millyvegas") home, and when you start to relate to these thirty-three items, you'll know you're home forever.

  1. You only go to the Max for Gwen's sandwiches.
  2. Hills are the bane of your existence. But they have given you really nice calves.
  3. You can never go anywhere without seeing someone you know.
  4. Cookout is a staple.
  5. So is Barbs, Velvet's cheese fries, Stacked, Chik-Fil-A's buy one get one entrees on Thursdays, and the Max (shoutout to all the underclassmen that swipe in poor upperclassmen without meal plans).
  6. Parking has never been so much of a chore.
  7. Being on a first name basis with all your professors is normal.
  8. 3rd floor library or no library at all (currently writing this in the peace of the 3rd floor).
  9. Chalk is the most effective form of communication.
  10. If you’re a science major, you need all the prayers because the walk to Herty is rough.
  11. Just pray for science majors, period. They need help.
  12. If it’s not Blackbird coffee, you don't want it.
  13. Again, parking. What the heck, dude?
  14. Forgetting how to drive because you walk everywhere.
  15. “I only came for the t-shirt."
  16. County Line is the highlight of your year.
  17. Capital City Pizza is always the best move on Friday nights.
  18. Never actually getting pizza at Capital because the Brick is so much better.
  19. Chacos and Birks are everywhere.
  20. You're thankful for the Arts and Sciences building because it's basically Antarctica during the summer.
  21. "Will I get in trouble for swimming in the reflection pool?"
  22. We have the greatest football team on earth. #Undefeated
  23. Having to muster up every bit of motivation to go to the gym because it's just so far away, but the freshman 15 is a thing.
  24. So. many. hills.
  25. You know all about Cookie the ghost. I live with her.
  26. Basically everywhere is haunted
  27. Watching the sunset is an actual form of entertainment (bonus points if you bring a picnic).
  28. Never stepping on the bobcat head or you’re basically cursed.
  29. Greek life or no life.
  30. Basically living in the learning center.
  31. You might as well start paying rent to the library because you're always there.
  32. GroupMe saves your life daily.
  33. You know that Millyvegas is home forever.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
