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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
