Student Life

If You Don't Know NC State

We're the red and white from State and we know we are the best!

For those of you who are not familiar with NC State, here is a little introduction to the Wolfpack.

We are a family.

No matter where I am or what I do, I know that I will always have a home with the Wolfpack. When three of our members were lost in the Chapel Hill shooting, we all felt the impact. NCSU will always have your back.

Just because we aren't winning doesn't mean we will stop cheering.

In the 1920s, a newspaper reporter described the student section as "a pack of wolves" because we were cheering so intensely. The Wolfpack became our official mascot from then on, and we definitely live up to our origins.

You can be who you want.

No matter where you came from, what your major is, or the color of your hair, there is a place for you at NC State. Between our Free Expression Tunnel, hundreds of clubs, and everything else we have to offer, there is place for everyone to be themselves.

The people you meet will change you for the better.

Everyone around campus uses manners, holds doors for each other, and are overall friendly people. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming, kind, and encourages you to be the best person you can.

You will make some of the best memories of your life while you are a student.

Sure, we all have nights where you cry into your textbook or laptop or fail that one big test, but I wouldn't change anything. Going to football games, pulling all-nighters, going to downtown Raleigh, and yelling as loud as I can when the Bell Tower turns red after a big win have been some of the best times of my life.

Between our impressive academics, welcoming student body, and competitive sports programs, NC State has it all. If you didn't know who we were or what we stand for, look for us because we are making waves.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

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.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
