5 Signs You Go To UMD

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!

Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
