I would like to start out by saying that this article is not meant to offend the university or any of its affiliates. I wrote this article as a funny way to play off of Towson student struggles and as a way for students to understand the unique experience here at Towson, while also being able to get a laugh out of their educational experience.
Fall break. Other schools get the luxury of having a break after the stressful experience known as midterms; Towson students have to stick it out until Thanksgiving.

Having midterms and finals in only one week. I will never understand why Towson breaks its midterms and finals into two week periods. Are the few days before finals really necessary?
A "reading day." What the heck is a reading day? You mean they give other schools time to read all those textbook chapters we were expected to read during the semester while we sit in class? First you give us the plus minus scale, and now this?
St. Patrick's day at school. On a lighter note that doesn’t deal with the stress of midterms and finals, Towson conveniently plans spring break to be during St. Patrick's day. No worries, you can still visit other schools or treat yourself to a vacation.
Frat houses. If you haven’t already noticed, Towson is one of the few schools that does not have a frat row. We will never truly know what house bunny experienced. 
Dressing up for football games. While we love to wear our black and gold, we will never have to stress out about finding a date or finding the perfect dress to go to a football game.

A well-known rival. Some may say its UD, others may say JMU. Needless to say, it will never be a Maryland/Duke rivalry.
Tailgating. A touchy subject here for Towson students. While we are grateful to have it back, we will never know what it is like to have an entire town shut down in honor of game day.
Having people understand where your school is simply by dropping the name. Towson. It is in Towson, Maryland, but most of the time you simply just have to drop 'Baltimore' to get people to understand where our school is. Ever notice the red squiggle under it?

Having a provider other than Comcast. Every dorm, house, apartment, and suite is operated by Comcast. While it gets the job done, well, let's be honest, we all use Netflix anyway.

Silence. Construction and sirens make up a lot of our day to day lives here.

All in all, Towson offers quite a unique experience, one that I would not change for the world.
