You loved your school so much that you decided to become an Orientation Leader. You sat through hours of training and knew exactly what to say to incoming students and their parents. You hated to love every minute of those long work days. 10 things Orientations Leaders know to be true:

1. Free Food

Nothing makes a college student happier than a job that feeds them for 10 hours a day.

2. Or And The Free Swag

Polos, Backpacks, Jackets, Umbrellas. You name it, they gave it to you. You now officially look like a student athlete with all of your Univeristy gear, and you're not so secretly pumped about it.

3. Wait, What?

During training, you find out more things about your Univeristy than you ever thought possible. We have WHAT degree? WVU has 193 degrees and you better believe I had no idea until NSO.

4. Where's The Bathroom?

If you get asked that one more time, especially when the sign is right above your head, you are going to explode.

5. Wandering Families

Of course, I know I told you where to go more than a few times, and it's even printed on the nice new schedule we gave you at the start of the day, but somehow you are still always chasing after rogue families.

6. The Advising Meltdown

All we do is advise students from taking that 8:30 class. Even though, knowing full and well that they are the bottom of the advising totem pole and will probably get at least one, if not two, early morning classes. We are only slightly sorry.

7. Selfie Game Strong

Whether you like it or not, yourself and your coworkers are the new faces of the Univeristy. That means that your positive social media game has to be stepped up. Your phone will be filled with work day selfies (that aren't frowned upon) and you will post them with the designated hashtags. #WVUNSO #WVU20

8. Games Galore

You know more icebreakers than you ever thought possible. You know these 18-year-olds are probably uncomfortable that you are making them play games with their new peers, but hey you darn well are still going to do it.

9. Nap It Out

You will nap and will nap hard. Every day after work you are going to hit your pillow for at least 30 minutes. Probably more, though, just to be honest. There is something special about NSO that seems to drain every ounce of energy you thought you had that morning.

10. Great Friends

Your goal may have been to introduce incoming students to each other to form early bonds, but you also found great friendships in the process. NSO can be an exhausted and daunting task, but you managed to not only have a blast but also make a bunch of new friends.
