This week I have decided to write an article based on some special things that you would only find at Saint Anselm College. I will not lie when I say that this article was very hard to write as of one point I had over 50 things that I believe make Saint Anselm a special school. This short list represents the basic idea that make up the small new England school I go to.

So to start, you know you go to Saint Anselm College when:

1. Everyone holds doors for each other.

This is something that happens everyday at SAC as it is Anselmian and if you do not do it, you are not a real Anselmain. This is the first rule to being Anselmain and representing SAC in the real world. Plus, if you don't do it people will look at you and judge you.

2. You have gotten lost trying to find the observatory.

Wait what. Yes we have this on campus and it is in a way a basic right of passage into calling yourself an Anselmeanian. You probably have gotten lost in the woods at night and came out by the Circle K trying to find this place.

3. You have a monk for a teacher.

Saint Anselm is a very cool school in the fact that we have Benedictine monks on campus and some of them even teach. You cannot call yourself a member of the community if you have not had brother Isaac or any of the other monks that teach. Plus, they are often in the pub and you can drink with them as well.

4.You know about CABingo.

The best part of Saint A's is the bingo games sponsored by the Campus Activities Board which often entails people sprinting up to the stage pushing people over and doing dumb things to win such things as 27 Dresses or the Flat-screen 36' in TV.

5. You've gone sledding on a stolen Davison tray.

You cannot say that you are a true student if after the first snow storm you do not do steal a tray and go sledding on the many hills on campus. Yet, you don't actually sled but end up rolling down the hill.

6. The Davison staff knows your order and you by name.

You know you go to Saint Anselm when you go to the girl line or sandwich line and do not even have to speak and the next thing you know you are getting your typical order.

7. Any annual events in Davsion (e.g. the gingerbread contest, the Christmas feast).

The best time of the year is during Christmas as we have our annual gingerbread contest in which you can compete to win money all while having fun and eating all of the decorations. In addition, we also have the Christmas feast in which we eat, seafood, red meat, and stuffed chicken breast. Which is the best meal of the year.

8. The rivalry between us and SNHU.

No college life is complete without a good rivalry. Saint A's has an unofficial one with Southern New Hampshire University. Ours is very special as we take it to new heights with our own SNHU memes.

9. You stand in a line for 3 hours for crepes.

This needs no explanation.

10. You've met famous people.

As we have the New Hampshire Institute of Politics it is very common to see famous politicians. Just this year we had both the Republican debate and the Democratic debate. SAC just this year had the likes of Hilary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz and Chris Christie.

11. When the hottest gossip on campus is about which politician shut down the fitness center this week.

In most colleges the hottest gossip is probably about hook-up culture. But at SAC it is filled with the rumors that the visiting politician this week shut down the gym. It is our job to figure out who this visiting politician will be causing us annoyance.

12. We have polio pit.

Not many colleges can boast that they have a huge pit of green water which used to be a pond behind the nurses' building.

13. What happens when someone drops a tray in Davison.

When someone drops a tray in Davison everyone is supposed to clap causing much embarrassment to the person to drop the tray.

14. No one can decide where our campus is.

Our campus is technically spread over three towns. It is very common for you to be sitting in your dorm room in Pinardville but five minutes later your sitting in class and suddenly you are Manchester. No wonder people are confused by our mailing address.

15. Our nickname.

Although our nickname officially Saint A's, the unofficial nickname is Saint C's, as that is the average grade in any given class.

Here are 15 ways that you know you you to Saint Anselm College.
