West Virginia University and all it's glory. If you're ever wondering what school someone goes to, look for these traits.

1. Parking Money < Thirsty Thursday

It’s a Wednesday night. You know you have class in the morning and you have $1.50 in quarters in preparation for parking. You’ll be parked there for more than an hour, but you’ll hope you don’t get a ticket. You look at those quarters on your desk and think, “But it’s Thirsty Thursday…” If you go to Annex you can get drinks for 25 cents, and for all of you who know it by it’s former name, you know it’s glory. Come on, Thursdays are basically free drinks, are you going to pass it up?

2. No Where To Park... Ever.

You’re on your way to class and you’re awake and ready to learn. Most days you’re overtired and groggy, but no, not today. You put your left turn signal on to pull into the Mountainlair garage. Instantly you see break lights everywhere, and guess what? Not one single spot. You drive around and someone’s backing out. You’re waiting for them to back out, then suddenly someone cuts you off and steals it. So, now you get out your phone and text that one kid that always sends you the notes and you take your loss and leave.

3. What's The Move?

You have headphones in on your way to math. You see someone you know, so you take them out to talk to them. They ask you what you’re doing tonight, and the infamous, “Are you going downtown tonight?”, or “Is anything going on tonight?” comes up in conversation.

4. Country Roads, Take Me Home

You’re at a house party with your friends and none of you know who’s house it is. All of a sudden you feel a connection in the room. Yes, Country Roads is blaring through the cheap speakers of a college house and everyone inside is singing along.

5. I Shouldn't Yell This Right Now, But I Will..

Now it’s getting a little out of control because every time you hear the word Pitt you want to scream, “EAT SHIT PITT!” No matter where you are, you just can’t contain it.

When you hear “Let’s go!” in any context you want to yell, “MOUNTAINEERS!”

6. Early Classes Are For The Birds

It’s time to schedule classes and you’re avoiding 8:30’s at all costs. You’re going to avoid 9:30’s as well because let’s face it, 9:30 is an 8:30 in disguise.

7. Hi, My Name's Jimmy Frey

If you recognize this name you're probably familiar with this line: "Hey add me on Snapchat!", and somehow every Friday you hear, "Happy Freyday!" I'm not sure how, but you see him everywhere and everyone knows him. He'll always say, "Put your number in my phone!" and you'll probably reply with, "Yeah, you already have it, I met you yesterday..."

8. Life Science Stairs... Dun Dun Dun

You’re walking to psychology and you’re already pacing yourself. You’re about to take on the Life Science stairs. Say that out loud, you’ll cringe. Don’t worry though, by the end you’ll have phenomenal legs. That’s one of the perks of having a campus with mountains.

9. But At Least I Live Downtown, Right?

You’re looking for a house to live in and you finally found one. It’s falling apart, overpriced, kind of gross; But it’s downtown. You’re sold.

10. Casa Pizza, Is The Pizza For You And Me!

You’re walking up High Street (maybe stumbling) after a night out. You and your best friend look at each other and you both say, “Casa?” at the same time. Sometimes you'll even offer to pay for their slice, and they'll act like it's the best gift they've ever recieved. Yes, the pizza is way better when you’re drunk, and no, it never gets old when you’re drunk.

11. I Have To Get A 100% On My Final To Get A 'B' In This Class...

It’s finals week and you are at the library studying hard; what a dedicated student. The real story is that you’ve only done “okay” for the whole semester and the final is going to decide your grade. You can do it though; Eliza’s even has free coffee on the 4th floor.

12. Dogs And Hammocks, Everywhere

The weather is starting to get nice again. There are people just swinging from trees in hammocks. There are dogs everywhere and you probably want to pet them all. People are throwing footballs and baseballs and you're praying you don't get hit. Oh, and if you know about the duck rentals you might see a few ducklings running around.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
