Hey, Deacs!

Today we're going to do something different. We're going to put Wake Forest stereotypes to the test. So, sit back, relax, and have a read. This is Wake Forest Stereotypes: Mythbusters edition.

1. "Is it true that everyone looks like they came out of a J. Crew catalog?"

You've heard it before, you've read it on niche, but is it true? Does the WFU student body belong on the front page?

MYTH: CONFIRMED*

Rally up your Sperry's, Jack Rogers, vests, button downs, and salmon pants, folks!

*With the exception of Fraternity Parties - that's when you dig into the "ratchet bin."

**Unless it's a darty.

----------------------------

2. "Is Work Forest a real thing?"

Work Forest University: the only place you can get a hangover from too many espresso shots.

MYTH: CONFIRMED

If you're stuck in ZSR and have major FOMO because your friends are all Wake Wednesday-ing I suggest spicing things up by shotgunning your latte.

----------------------------


3. "Everyone goes to the football games."

MYTH: BUSTED

Everyone goes to the *tailgates.

----------------------------


4. "Are the pit sh*ts real?"

Just ask this poor guy:

MYTH: CONFIRMED

Besides, why do you think that our sports teams help us conserve toilet paper?

----------------------------

5. "Wake Forest University isn't a party school."

Sometimes, students opt to forget about the three exams to study for and two papers to write within the next 48 hours.

MYTH: BUSTED

Please note: We do this as responsibly as we can while simultaneously avoiding responsibility.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

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!
