If you would have asked me three years ago where I was going to go to college I would not have said Pitt. Here I am now though, loving every minute of my super busy student life unable to imagine being anywhere but here. From Cathy to Market, here are fifteen reasons you probably love Pitt.
1. Just look at her.
She really just does not look real.
2. 42 - 39.
The insane score of the Pitt v.s. Penn State game in 2016.
3. Essie's Original Hotdog Stand.
There is nothing like getting a medium fry to split with eight people at 2 AM on a Saturday.
4. The 10A.
Or the more exotic 10B.
5. There's no party like a South O party.
There is just something about a sketchy basement.
6. Until you have been to North O.
North O class, South O trash.
7. Heinz Field.
I mean, we share the stadium with the Stealers.
8. You can't go more than ten steps without seeing someone wearing apparel.
There's no escaping it.
9. The architectural wonder of Towers.
There are no other dorms like it.
10. The Market Central.
You haven't lived until you have cut up a chicken patty and made it into a buffalo chicken wrap.
11. The Pete.
The castle on top of cardiac hill.
12. Everything is super historical.
The Union was once the Schenley Park Hotel where many presidents stayed.
13. You can join a thousand clubs.
Greek life? Professional business associations? Service clubs? A club for your tiny major?
14. Chick-fil-A is on your meal plan.
And so is Taco Bell, Starbucks coffee, and Pizza Hut.
15. H2P!!!
Two letters and a number that mean the world to you.
There are places you can go on campus where you can't see the cathedral, but just being able to see the cathedral everyday makes me proud to call this place home. Hail to Pitt, am I right?
