Living at Denison and going to school here has tons of perks. It's got beautiful scenery, we know basically everyone, we have amazing professors, Columbus is 30 minutes away....and, of course, our beloved Steve Carell went here. Sometimes I'm convinced that his acting career is just an extension of all the feelings/experiences that happened during his time here. Not convinced? Here are 11 times that Steve was our Denisonian spirit animal and perfectly captured our lives as students on the hill.

1. The time he accurately described the tiny size of our campus.

(Small is charming...right?)

2. When he fulfilled all of our wishes to ride a Denison venison.

(Just pretend this is a deer).^

3. Seeing the Denison tuition statement in your inbox.

Excuse me while I go sell my paper company.

4. When it's surf and turf night at Huffman so you use an extra swipe...

Basically a food connoisseur (did I spell that right?).

5. After failing a test, you resort to drowning your sorrows in Whit's.

*Logic*

6. When your best friend gets featured on DenisonSnaps...

Proud mom moment.

7. Being so overwhelmed with all you have to get finished, so instead, you just do nothing.

MIDTERMS, ANYONE?

8. Looking at the Curtis and Huffman menus:

It's fine. I'll just have pizza and cinnamon toast crunch (again).

9. Waiting for food at the Nest with 48 numbers ahead of you and wondering "How long is this going to take?"

Is this mac and cheese really worth it?

10. Walking up the stairs from south quad...

GO ON WITHOUT ME.

11. Trying to think of compliments to post about your crush on Denison Crushes.

It's the thought that counts.

12. Knowing that your love for this place is...well...

The relationships, the people, the scenery, the professors, the growth to be made. It's all pretty awesome here. And we're a lot in love with this quaint little college on the hill. (I know Steve is, too.)
