Here's a list I've complied of things that make me know I'm a Fighting Scot through and through!

  1. You forget squirrels aren’t always black.
  2. Bagpipes make you tear up.
  3. You dread crossing the street for lunch.
  4. You consider french fries a full meal.
  5. You own something in bright yellow tartan.
  6. You actually wear the thing in bright yellow tartan.
  7. You remember the first time a stressed senior told you to get out of their carrel.
  8. You have gone out to eat with your favorite professor, probably know the names of their children and pets, and think of them as a second parent.
  9. Your friends are never more than 10 minutes away.
  10. If someone calls you a “hearty scot” you can feel the residual anger building.

  14. Seeing hoards of people walking around in kilts is normal.

  16. You get annoyed when people say “Woo-ster”.
  17. You know how to pronounce Beall and Bever correctly.
  18. You dream of Hartlerz.
  19. Buggies no longer seem out of place and you expect all Walmarts to have horse hitch.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
