Spelman College has over 2,000 enrolled students. As ranked by US News & World Report, Spelman boasts the ranking of the #1 HBCU (Historically Black College and University) in the nation. Students at Spelman College are very proud to add "Spelmanite" to an already long list of words that describes themselves. Although "Spelmanites" are not monolithic in any way, shape, or form, we do share common unique experiences that only we can proudly say that we faced as a student at the illustrious Spelman College. Here is a list of some of those experiences.

1. You never walk on any piece of grass.

Spelmanites are discouraged from walking on the grass on campus in order to keep our grass nice and green, but the "real" reason is because Spelmanites do not cut corners.

2. Your "Spelman introduction" is ALWAYS ready whenever and wherever.

I've given my Spelman intro at everything from professional networking events to cookouts. When a Spelmanite introduces herself with confidence, you know that she is capable of changing the world.

3. You appreciated your ADW class, but hated it at the same time.

For my non-Spelmanites, ADW stands for African Diaspora & the World. It is a class that all first year students at Spelman College are required to take and the class teaches students about the history and impact of the African diaspora on the world. The discussions spawned from this class are awesome and 100% necessary, especially in a white-washed America, but that all of that required reading though...

4. You're happy to get food at 7 p.m. since you didn't have a dining hall that is open until 11 p.m., unlike our Morehouse brothers.

But it's fine because our cafeteria did extend their hours until 9 pm on Monday through Thursday. Progress right?

5. You have so much Spelman apparel you could wear something new for the rest of your life.

I'll stop buying new apparel when the bookstore stops having $7.95 t-shirt specials.

6. You never pay for Morehouse gear becuase you know how to finesse a Man of Morehouse out of his.

I mean this tweet says it all.

7. People who were rejected from Spelman College find their way into your mentions with their slanderous tweets.

I promise to go easy on you girl. I understand the bitterness. Everybody can't get a blue envelope.

8. Uber/Lyft drivers pull up to the back gate of campus convinced that they are at the front gate.

Sir, that gate is locked. Do you really think that I would be waiting there?

9. You learned patience from waiting for the AUC shuttle.

You contemplate simply walking back to campus a countless amount of times, but you're convinced that once you leave, the shuttle will pull right up.

10. When you walk into a room, you know you're the baddest sister in it.

You could be in French 102 with the next Shonda Rhimes. That girl who never fails to flawlessly articulate her thoughts in your Sociological Imagination course may be the next Loretta Lynch. Shoot. You may be the next Misty Copeland. Spelman is full of #blackgirlmagic and we never fail to recognize it everyday.
