1. You always avoid the seal

Yeah... Don't step on it. Just don't do it.


2. You hate VCU

Since ODU and VCU have been basketball rivals for a long time, we just simply don't associate with them.


3. You don't ever buy books from the bookstore

Amazon or Chegg usually are better options, unless you absolutely have to buy your book from the bookstore.


4. You probably live off campus

Due to ODU having hardly any on-campus housing, a majority of housing goes to freshmen.


5. You know the difference between "The Cafe" and "Broderick"

R.I.P. Cafe 1201.


6. You're almost always hungry for Pizza Hut or Panda Express

A lot of times in cold weather, you find yourself walking through the Webb more often. If it's during lunch hour, you'll probably feel the need to eat Panda or a personal pizza.


7. You've stopped by Del Vechs for a slice at 2 A.M.

Del Vecchios is the best spot at ODU to eat when you're out. They stay open late, and even better, they're cheap!


8. You refer to the library as "Club Perry"

"Will you be at Club Perry tonight?"


9. You know that if you're in a hurry to not stop by Einstein's, even for just a bagel and cup of coffee

We all know that Einstein's is not the place to go for a quick snack. We only go here if we know we'll be in the library for a while.


10. You know that if it's a Thursday night, all of your friends over 21 are at Mojo's for Crush Night, otherwise, they're at The Edge

You hear all about it all the time. If you're anything like me, you're counting down the days until you can join them.


11. You've ridden the lion

Why? Because you should.


12. You're always hitting up Freshmen for swipes

Not everyone has a meal plan, especially those who live off campus, so this is crucial.

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.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
