14 Things All NMU Wildcats Know To Be True
Jenna Thompson

1. Fearless in the face of third floor Jamrich.

Listen. We can be the fittest person on campus, but walking up those stairs sounds like we've just run a marathon.

2. Fearless in the face of going to class in -40 degrees.

Nah, it's cool. I don't mind my eyelashes being frozen shut during the five minute walk to class.

3. Trying not to spend all your money on Melted or Fieras.

The Boss? The Cheesy Mac and Swine? The Verde Quesadilla? What do I get? It's all so good.

4. Literally anything to do with Wildcat Willy.

That homeboy's great, man. Skating with those lil' kiddies during the hockey games. Taking pictures with people on campus - I love it.

5. Unicycle Guy. Has anyone seen him this semester?

One of my favorite things last year was his homecoming question, "Well, I'm Unicycle Guy, so I guess I already left my legacy."

6. How does Dead River Games always end up with crappy weather?

It's always freezing cold and then you get ice cream dropped on your face and it's just a hot mess.

7. And Tech still sucks!

Nothin' more to say.

8. The line for chicken strips at the MP.

If you don't get there right on time, it's over. Find yourself something else to eat or wait for half an hour in line.

9. "Hit me, pay my tuition."

We've all said these words at least once.

10. If you want to lose all of your friends, be a ticket writer. (Sorry guys.)

It's not me. It's you. And the stigma that comes with ticket writers. We trusted you. I know it's your job, but have a heart! I mean, I totally understand that people deserve tickets, but we've all had those days where everything goes wrong.

11. Northern, naturally.

Until the designated native species spots are torn down and replaced with construction.

12. Calling it "Hogsback" instead of the actual name of "Hogback."

Look it up. There's no 's.' Sorry guys.

13. Being salty about not having snow days when the snow is up to your crotch.

I understand that we go to Northern Michigan University. I understand that a lot of people think we're basically Canada. But if people are skiing to class, or wearing ski masks, or the professors are like, yo, class is cancelled because it's a blizzard out there - ya gotta do something. Take one for the team. Give us a snow day.

14. HOW COME NO ONE CAN PARK IN THE WINTER?

Literally don't care that I don't have a car here. But come on! Parking lines are there for a reason. And don't even tell me it's bad parking because you can't see the line. You don't have to see the line to know you're parking in the dead center of two spots. Don't be that guy. If anything, be the guy that parked his Jeep on top of the snow pile.

What are some things you know to be stereotypical and true about Northern? Comment below and let us know!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
