Are you a Terp? Here's 5 things you must know to be true.

1. Sacrifices for Testudo.

Because apparently rubbing his nose isn't enough, Testudo gets everything from Starbucks to money to inhalers. Hopefully whoever give Testudo the inhaler didn't need it before exams. Anyways there's a good chance that you've left your coffee or half-eaten snack with Testudo in the hopes of acing your exams.

2. UMD Gear.

Tons of free shirts. And free shirts. And random apparel from the bookstore. More free shirts. Your closet is filled with clothes that have the Maryland flag or Testudo on it. Most of your wardrobe is red, or black, or white, or yellow.

3. McKeldin Library.

You live at McKeldin Library... or at least you do during finals week. You also know the struggle of finding a spot during finals week.

4. Big 10.

Our student section is loud and proud. From soccer to basketball games there's something for you to enjoy. You may have lost your voice once, twice, or many times from cheering but wouldn't have it any other way.

5. Point of Failure.

Either you've avoided it because of superstitions or you don't care if you walk on it.

At the end of the day, you love being a Terp!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
