Seton Hall is the university that Pirates hold near and dear to their hearts. Here are some ways to know that you're definitely one of South Orange's finest.
1. People walk out of their way to avoid stepping on the seal
2. And then you see those who accidentally do step on the seal sprinting and throwing elbows to make it to the pirate's boot in time to erase the bad luck
3. You feel like the squirrels hide out in the trees and throw acorns at your head while walking to class in the fall
4. It's not even Halloween and yet the star is on top of the Christmas tree in the green
5. You don't gain the Freshman 15 because the stairs in every -- single -- building are steeper than mountain climbing
6. You live in Boland and have the dreaded daily fire drill for a week straight
7. You try to find anything edible in the caf
8. Except on those select days the caf decides to grace us with chicken tenders and mac and cheese
9. When you make your own food in the caf and you're nervous to burn your food in fear of ruining the one and only dining hall on campus
10. You wait what feels like three years for the SafeRide to show up at 2 a.m.
11. Everyone's first college party experience was at 55...and then you never wanted to go back
12. You have to choose between getting Dunkin' before class...or waiting in a 30-minute long line
13. You call either Cluck U or Domino's once you return to campus after a night out
14. You make jokes about "booty" because you can... Go Pirates!
15. You're caught off guard by the bells outside Jubilee every -- damn -- time
16. You've personally requested one of Miss Virginia's breakfast sandwiches or grilled cheeses
17. The basketball team roams around campus on hover-boards...even in the caf
18. The majority of students desert campus as soon as their last class ends...leaving SHU a ghost town on the weekends
19. You always hear someone playing the piano in front of the U Center
20. You're always bitter about not being allowed to have string lights in your dorm
21. You try to get tickets to any SAB event but they sell out in under a minute on Eventbrite
22. You complain about Seton Hall, but know you'll always love being a Pirate
