For such intelligent people, some of the stuff we Wake students say is really stupid. Like, actually. It's like, literally embarrassing that I used that phrase. Recognize any of these phrases? I'm sure you do. So, I compiled a list of our sayings that you can read right now (cringing).
Nerdy quotes:
- “This is literally, like, the third time my Thinkpad’s crashed this year.” The laptops provided by the school always crash at the worst times. Working on a 10-page paper? Not on the Thinkpad’s watch.
- “I seriously failed that test” (got a B). Going from straight A’s in high school to B’s in college is pretty devastating for the perfectionists.
- “Zachary Smith Reynolds is bae.” Sometimes we hate him. We will always have a love/hate relationship with our number-one bae.
Basic Betch Quotes:
- RN. Because somehow saying RN is easier than saying right now.
- Like, literally. Example: I, like, literally have so much work to do. We really strengthen our arguments when we include that phrase. Like, literally.
- But actually. Basically the same as like, literally. Example: Zac Efron is the most beautiful human of all time. But actually.
- “I ate one cookie. I need to go to the gym for, like, three hours.” Seriously. Everyone on campus is so skinny. Relax, and eat the cookie.
Foodie Quotes:
- “Netta, Can I have an omelet with the real eggs?” Netta is the star of the omelet station, and there’s no way the liquid eggs in the tin buckets are real.
- “Omg, Rosalyn knows my name/order.” Rosalyn is the real MVP of the Starbucks in the library. Any student would be honored for her to remember them.
- “Pitsgiving.” The only meal at the Pit that everyone agrees is delicious. Who doesn’t love the Thanksgiving classics?
Party/Darty/Downtown Quotes:
- “There are just too many townies downtown on the weekends.” As if they’re so beneath us.
- “Wait, there’s a football game after the tailgate?” The football players are great people, but ain’t nobody got time to watch them lose.
- “Late night DKE, anyone?” If you’re still in the mood to party after 1:00 a.m., DKE is always the late night move.
- “Oh my God, I need late night Cook-Out!” Ugh, milkshakes and BBQ. Yes, please!
SRAT Quotes:
- “I can’t wait to decorate my chucks!” Every sorority girl after Bid Day.
- “This is too top-tier for me.” Unless you consider yourself top-tier. “This is so lame. It’s so bottom-tier.” Rolling my eyes so hard they might get stuck.
- “Gosh, I’m so over frat life.” (Goes to frat the next weekend.) Typical senior.
