10 Ways You Know You Were A Mustang

Ride high forever, you Mustangs.

Cal Poly State University San Luis Obispo

Steve Thomas Poly Print

There are many experiences that have united us here at Cal Poly as Mustangs past and present. The memories from San Luis Obispo and our college years will be with us from the time we spend here as students, to when we are older, have grown up, and spread out to live elsewhere, wherever life takes us. And yet, when we think of SLO we will look back on the youth and freedom we enjoyed as Cal Poly students in what is known affectionately as the happiest city in America. Here are 10 things that will bring us back to the days when the textbooks were expensive, the weather was perfect, and becoming an adult seemed like a million years in the future...

1. Sunrise hikes were the only time it was okay to get up before 7 A.M.

2. BIKE NIGHTTT! The first Thursday of every month and late night SLODOCO afterwards to refuel

3. Hiking the P from the dorms at 3 a.m. and running into Cal Poly's own horses in the pasture below

4. Beautiful beach towns in both directions

5. The tri-tip challenge and its reward of a trip to Firestone

6. Thursday night Farmers' Market and all of the amazing food and produce that comes with it

7. Studying at the cutest coffee shops any downtown has to offer

8. Being the loudest and most spirited group to volunteer at the Wildflower Triathlon

9. Knowing that WOW was never just for the WOWIES

10. The beauty which surrounds the city and the art that is inspired by it

Buy the new and limited edition Poly Print by renowned artist Steve Thomas at the Cal Poly bookstore or online before they sell out for your student, grad, or alum that still loves Cal Poly just as much as they did when they were attended.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
