10 Ways You Know You Were A Mustang
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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
