If you’re a student at the University of Missouri, you know that it’s a special place.
Because of this, you’re probably a Mizzou student if…
- You have at least one Instagram picture of the Quad.
- You know that late nights are meant to be spent in Greektown.
- And weekend mornings can only take place surrounded by friends at Dobb’s brunch.
- You can spot the difference between gold and yellow from a mile away.
- You know that the only thing greater than SEC football is SEC tailgates.
- And you have enough black and gold outfits planned out for every single one of them.
- You know who Sandy from Plaza is and you think she’s awesome.
- It doesn’t matter if Mizzou isn’t in the same division as KU anymore, because you'll hate them no matter what.
- You think that having a Starbucks in the Memorial Union instead of the Student Center is incredibly inconvenient, but you still make the hike over to the opposite side of campus anyways.
- The only time you can ever use an elliptical at the Rec is at the crack of dawn or an hour before it closes.
- You have at least one friend that’s a journalism major from out-of-state.
- You’ve mastered the art of avoiding eye contact while walking through Speaker’s Circle.
- And you’ve also had to deal with people avoiding your eye contact while working at a booth in Speaker’s Circle.
- You appreciate the finer things in life (a.k.a. toasted ravioli from the dining halls).
- You know more than you ever wanted to know about St. Louis high schools.
- You brag to all of your friends that your college invented homecoming.
- The thought of registering for classes sends you into full-on panic mode.
- You believe it’s socially acceptable to climb onto a statue of a tiger and take pictures.
- And jump into fountains.
- Oh and yell, “I love Mizzou” in Speaker’s Circle.
- You never get tired of walking past Memorial Union, Jesse Hall, or the Columns.
- Although you’ve spent countless hours in Ellis Library, you’re not really sure how, or if you even can, check out a book.
- You don’t mind gaining the Mizzou 22 when it’s from Baja.
- You have strong opinions about Chicago, Kansas City, and St. Louis sports teams.
- You sometimes like to pretend that Missouri is in the South even though it could not be more in the Midwest.
- You place more faith into rubbing a nose on a statue than studying when it comes to finals week.
- And you constantly brag to all of your friends about your school, because who wouldn’t want to call the University of Missouri home?
