What Your Pitt Freshman Dorm Says About You

We've all either been there or currently are—freshman dorm room living. This dorm room either makes or breaks your first year at college, depending on your building and roommate (or lack thereof). It is here that you will meet your best friends and your worst enemies and finally learn how to be independent. You probably left a legacy or two in your room that future residents definitely do not want to know about, but that you will never ever forget. Here's what your Pitt freshman year dorm says about you.


Tower A/Tower B

You think you are one of the greatest when, in fact, you're actually not at all (especially if you're in Tower A, we all know Tower B is best). You're jealous of the finer things in life that are given to other students, so you overcompensate by bragging about how hard you can "party." Despite how gross Market is, you live directly above it so you're probably the first to gain the Freshman 15—sorry 'bout it! Even though your building looks like a Brita filter, you're still proud to live there, so that's a respectable trait. You're most likely to graduate into one of the dirtier homes of South Oakland, but you'll still love it and act as if it's a 5-star resort. But for now, stay in your damn cylinders.

Sutherland

You're the smartest or the most athletic. The dichotomy in this building is evident, but either way you're going places. You may have the worst walk up the hill, but you'll end up probably having the best body... especially since no one eats at the Perch anyway. You're most likely to continue living up the hill in Pennsylvania or Panther since you're used to it and who else even wants to live up there anyway??

Nordenberg

You are the king/queen of all of Oakland. You were bestowed with the best freshman dorm, equipped with fridges, microwaves, and flat-screen TVs—and everyone is jealous. You probably think very highly of yourself, but you definitely think you have every reason to be this way. After freshman year, you'll probably live in one of the nicer South Oakland apartments or the on-campus Bouquet Gardens since you won't accept anything but the best at this point in your life.

Tower C

See Tower A/Tower B, but keep in mind you're either a loner or Panther Central really screwed you over. You're also more humble than the Tower A and Tower B kids, because you know the struggle of living in the worst building of the group.

Holland

You're living in every boy's dream—a building full of just girls. You're strong and resilient since you're most likely so used to an extreme increase in hormones and possible cat fights. At this point, you're all about girl power and empowering women—you're the next big feminist this country needs. Who knows, maybe you'll live in Amos after you're done with Holland and become the next president of one of the sororities.

Bruce

You're either a potential business major or you're a sorority girl (that's not a freshman), so that's weird. This is especially confusing since the majority of this building is comprised of boys who desperately wish to be a frat star. You're might be a CEO wannabe and think that you are extremely powerful—at least on Pitt's campus. Living here definitely means that you mean business AKA you might not be as fun as those Towers kids think they are. Next year, you'll probably be trying to climb your way to the top somewhere in a frat house.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
