Attending the University of Iowa was a no brainer for me. Now that I am currently enrolled here in my second year I am finally realizing some of the things that a true Hawkeye would understand about our school.

1. The weekends always start on Thursdays.

What better way to start off the weekend then with a $1 drinks at Brothers?

2. You can’t even count the number of times you hear #FuckState during #BeatState week.

This is the weekend everyone looks forward to.

3. You feared of getting stuck living in Mayflower your freshman year.

Who else would want to walk just two miles to class?

4. You've tailgated so hard that you didn't quite make it to the football game.

What else is going to happen when you start drinking at 5 AM?

5. You're well aware that BONGO isn't quite the most reliable app.

"Now arriving" means you have to wait another good five minutes.

6. You have eaten Pancheros at 2 a.m.

What's better than a burrito at 2 a.m.?

7. You have learned that about 99 percent of the campus is "from Illinois" on the weekend.

Buffalo Grove, Illinois? Yeah, I've lived there. For about three months?!

8. You have dreaded walking up the Pentacrest hill.

You basically have to mentally prepare yourself..

9. "Back in Black" strikes all sorts of football memories

This song is on at least one of your playlists.

10. You believe that the food is better at Hillcrest than it is at Burge

Yes, Hillcrest is definitely worth the walk from the east side.

11. Everyone in Iowa City bleeds black and gold.

GO HAWKS!
