18 Reasons You Should NOT Attend Clemson University

There's not enough time in the world for the full list.

After suffering almost two full years at Clemson, I've compiled a list as to why you should NOT attend Clemson University. Please heed my warnings and run for the hills. Do NOT come to Clemson for the following reasons:

1. The weather

Who wants sunny 70 degree days in January and February? No one. That’s who.

2. The sports

Clemson’s sports teams aren’t even that good. National Champions? Big deal.


3. The campus

One of the safest campuses in America? Who cares?

4. The town

Everyone is seriously disgustingly nice. It makes me sick.

5. The lake

Seriously, who wants a beach on their campus and access to kayaking and paddle boarding? Lame.

6. The Blue Ridge Mountains

Who wants a view of the mountains when walking to and from class and while downtown? Not this girl.

7. The academics

The 23rd best public university? Not even that great. The 66th best university nationally? Laughable.

8. The faculty

Don’t even get me started on the professors. None of them have a close relationship with their students. They don't want to help their students succeed. They won't do anything to help students with their futures! Sad!

9. Dabo Swinney

Honestly, he's a terrible guy who never does anything for the school. He clearly hates Clemson.

10. Everything is green

Seriously, how many fields and trees does one campus need?

11. The sunsets

Orange and purple sunsets every day? Yeah, no thanks.

12. The South Carolina Botanical Gardens

Again with the green-ness and the trees? Does this college even have academic buildings? Honestly.

13. The proximity to national parks and waterfalls

Just minutes from nature and hiking trails with unmatched views? Puke.

14. The school spirit

You’re telling me that everyone loves this school more than anything? Doubt it. Everyone wears orange on Fridays and goes all out for every sporting event? Even more unlikely.

15. Students pack the stadium

Clemson is only ranked fifth for the ability to pack the stadium for football games to watch the most exciting 25 seconds of college football. That’s pathetic.

16. Happy students

Ranked number 11 for having the happiest students? What a total lie.

17. Town to gown relations

If you want a job straight out of college, you probably won’t if you go to Clemson.

18. Clemson Family

Honestly, being surrounded by people who love their school/ alma mater is horrifying. Everyone is extremely proud they attend(ed) Clemson. Ew.

Clearly there are so many reasons not to attend Clemson University. Doesn’t it seem horrible?

*If you couldn’t tell by now, this was completely satire and I mean the complete opposite of every single statement I've made. Honestly, Clemson is the best! If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Clemson 10 times out of 10.

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. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

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.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

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.
