It's great to be a Billiken.

12 Signs You Go To Saint Louis University
Saint Louis University

1. Whenever you tell someone that you go to SLU, they always ask, "What's a Billiken?"

2. Or they ask, "Where's that?"


Gee, I don't know. Saint Louis?

3. Half of the people that you know are from Chicago or the Chicago area. Seriously.


Just assume they're from Chicago unless they tell you otherwise.

4. And the other half are from St. Louis.


Go Cards!

5. You've heard your fair share of puns–from SLUdent and SLUper, to inSLUsive and SLUlips, SLU sure does love its puns.

But tulips are actually a staple of SLU during the spring.

6. You've been to a lot of trivia nights: whether it was SLU 101, Welcome Week, or even just as a fundraiser for a club that you're involved in. SLU is known for its love of trivia.

7. Whenever you go to a basketball game, most of the time it's just for the free t-shirts and pizza.


8. If you live in Marg, you complain about walking to the library, let alone the BSC or the science quad.

9. Having to pay for printing. Seriously, SLU, as if we aren't already paying enough to go here?

10. Having to go from snowing, to sunny, to cloudy all in one week, and sometimes even one day.

.

The amount of times that you have to change in a day is ridiculous. You better keep your jacket and shorts in your closet at all times.

11. Seeing statues on campus everywhere you go.


You've definitely thought that one of them was a person before (more than once).

12. And lastly, just knowing that you'll see at least five of your friends on your walk to class down West Pine definitely makes any day better.

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.
