5. You Have Mastered the Art of Textbook Buying

Who needs the school's bookstore when you have social media and eBay? Just one post in your classes Facebook group and next thing you know you are getting a $50 textbook for a fraction of the cost from a classmate's third cousin twice removed who's roommate took the course last year.

4. You Try to Go to as Many Downtown Events as Possible

What is this freshman year? Suddenly you are eager to take every flyer on the Pentacrest since you know this will be your last year of doing so. And you didn't realize how much you missed the free food and swag until now.

3. Despite Our Size, You Actually Know People in Your Class

This especially comes up in your major's courses. And as someone in a lot of courses with group projects this is a blessing in disguise. Now when I walk into a classroom and see my friends, we all immediately look at the syllabus to see if there's any projects for us to collaborate on together again. And some might turn out to be resume boosters!

2. You're a Professional Napper

Although this entirely depends on your schedule, you know how amazing a 30 minute power nap can feel, especially after a long lecture. As someone who as a toddler refused to nap, I am trying to make up for the missed counting sheep moments now.

1. You Don't Find Your Class Until Minutes Before

At this point in your college career you know that if you're taking a class in a certain field, chances are it will be in a certain building. And as a student in cinema and mass communications this is especially true since Adler and Becker are connected. So even if you're wrong, you just need to walk across the bridge!

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
