i love sewanee.

Okay, so I made these up. So bear with me here... hopefully Sewanee kids will get these.

You know you go to Sewanee when….

· You have a different name every time you get caught sneaking into the Res.

· You go to Shenanigan’s at least once a week and spend more money on pitchers than food.

· You have to think about what fraternity/sorority you are in when asked.

· You know that the library isn’t really the best place to study.

· Natty Light should be the tap water.

· You know that a “Crazy Sewanee Night” from Stirling’s is the best cure for a hangover.

· You know you can score free pizza in the observatory on Thursday nights.

· Fall is the season to look forward to.

· You get excited about Wednesday dinners at McClurg.

· You know how to work the Smart Boards better than the professors.

· If it’s a nice day, the professor will most likely give in to having class outside.

· Spring Party weekend is something you look forward to ALL year.

· The best things during exam nights are pancakes from the pub.

· If you’re a science major, Woods is your second home.

· Christmas break is too long.

· You have eaten with your professor at his/her house at least once.

· Weekends aren’t even that exciting because you have the whole week, too.

· You sport your Aviators… at night.

· Dressing up for class is the cool thing to do.

· There are no such things as “relationships,” just consistent hook-ups.

· The place everyone wants to get married is at All Saint’s.

· You’ve climbed/attempted to climb Morgan’s Steep.

· You go the opposite direction that the spiral stairwells at Walsh-Ellot tell you to.

· If you’re in photography, you go to take naps in the black room.

· You’ve wandered out to Green’s View with a couple of friends.

· Every time you make a cell phone call, you have to hide.

· Your door stays unlocked and usually wide open.

· Sewanee’s called “the mountain,” though we all know it’s just a plateau.

· You’ve hit/yelled at/chased/threw random objects at the deer on the side of the road.

· You know Abbo’s Alley like the back of your hand.

· You drive a SUV/European sports car.

· Keith Davis has yelled you at about going in through the back of McClurg.

· The causes of all fire alarms are either drunken people or burnt popcorn.

· You’ve wasted over a minute of your precious time waiting for the one stoplight in Sewanee to change.

· You wear boat shoes/Rainbows/Crocs.

· Your professor is late to lab.

· Getting SPO love makes your day.

· After 8 pm, you have no idea where your roommate is and/or when they will return (if you aren’t with them).

· Wal-Mart completely sells out their stash of fur the day of the Viking Party.

· You remember when Mi Casa used to not card.

· You’ve realized your professor has caught on to your and your classmate’s drinking habits.

· Courts should be a frat house in itself.

· You almost get ran over by a firefighter/EMT who just got a call.

· A Sewanee dog attempts to rip your pant leg off.

· You know that Sewanee IS right.



Um... so, yeah. I will hopefully add more that are a little more amusing.
I reallyreallyreallyreallyreally hope I can go back. If you can't tell already.


Anyway, I will just say that the summer school session was the best experience of my life.
I made new friends, did new things, had a blast, and found my potential new major. Yep, I want to major in Psychology now. Poking and prodding of the brain...ooooo.
And I found that the guy I was pretty much head over heels for either just didn't get it or didn't like me back. Either way, I was too big of a wuss to ever say anything, so being friends is about as far as we'll get, it seems. Oh well, better to keep something worthwhile than making it awkward. That's my motto.
Everything is so perfect for me to return that it makes me sick about the thought of not going back. I scored the nicest dorm with my favoritest person (JOJO!), expecting a kickass upcoming swim team, and finding a subject I am good at and enjoy. It's all come together... I just hope my determination will pay off, even if it is somewhat overdue. *embarassment*

Ugggh.
Hope everyone is having a good summer... yeah...

P.S. - Ohohohhohh. And Warped is coming up. So exciting.
Plus I'm going with Matt. :)
I can't wait for him to get here.

thats good motto to stick to, hooking up with a good friend is never worth. im speaking from experience here, i pretty much wish i could go back in time and take things back just so that i could have my best friend back. in the end, just being friends is probably for the best, its much more fullfilling most of the time.
