Being a student at Fairfield University, there are certain factors that set us apart from every other university. Whether it's getting a package or the hike to DSB, we all feel each others' pains and joys.

1. You consider your walk to the Dolan School of Business or McAuliffe your exercise for the week.

Right next to your hike to the top floor of Canisius for your 9:30.

2. You admit defeat by getting in the Einstein’s line that wraps around the BCC in the mornings.

It’s okay to be a little late to class, because at least you’ll be awake.

3. You rode the Stag statue.

Despite the fact it is extremely frowned upon by DPS.

4. You own something from Vineyard Vines.

Even though your bank account told you not to.

5. You know what the “safe foods” in Barone are.

Grilled chicken and salad every night? At least your stomach won’t be upset.

6. You are genuinely scared for registration.

Hunger Games or class registration? All one in the same here.

7. You know the pain of waiting for the Stag Bus.

Or being on the Stag Bus….

8. You use the word “stag” more than any other college student.

Meet me at the Stag Bus, Stag statue, The Stag, etc…

9. You know the true happiness of getting a package.

Funny how an email can make your day.

10. You take artsy Instagram pictures of campus.

Grass for days, man.

11. You tell people you have a castle on campus.

Bellarmine will never stop being beautiful.

12. You get more excited for Pres Ball than any high school dance.

Refer to number 11, Bellarmine is astonishing.

13. You get anxious when you see tours.

Is that someone from my high school?

14. You consider going to the Stag for a meal "mixing it up."

Chicken Tenders and Fries? Yes, please.

15. You get so excited when you hear a place takes Stag bucks.

Anytime you don't have to use your debit card is a relief.

16. You've been woken up by a lawn mower.

We can't even be angry. It takes work for this campus to look its best.

17. You know everyone will always be there for you.
