Since I have recently finished my second year at the University of Virginia, I thought I should do a recap of the things that have occurred since I've been here. So check out the list below and see what has happened these past two years!
1. I say 'Grounds' instead of 'campus'
It’s UVA thing, just deal with it.
2. I learned to like the color orange
Orange was not exactly my favorite color before but your choice in college should not be dictated by school colors!
3. I have access to all the gyms on Grounds but I still just sit on the couch
Okay, I have actually been to the gym a few times!4. I have a lot of blue and orange in my closet
What can I say, I can help myself. I live in UVa t-shirts now.
5. I went to a college bowl game
It was fun until I froze all day outside during the game. I think I am still defrosting!
4. I have battled with SIS, our online student information center
Signing up for classes can still be a nightmare.
5. I look at people strangely if they refer to Thomas Jefferson as a person who is still alive
No, we are not hanging out with TJ on the lawn.
6. I eat less home cooked meals
I live off of french fries, yogurt, and oatmeal.
7. I have learned the bus system at UVA inside and out
Okay maybe not all the bus routes but I have learned enough not to get lost.
8. I cannot live without Roots
If you haven’t been, you haven’t lived. If you are in Charlottesville go eat at Roots Natural Kitchen!
9. I appreciate coffee so much more than I did before
Thank goodness we have a Starbucks on Grounds. My favorite is the caramel macchiato!
10. I am 99.9% percent sure I can tell you what a 'Wahoo' actually is
Okay don't ask me, just google it.
11. I have become obsessed with grilled cheese sandwiches from West Range Cafe
West Range Cafe is a place on Grounds and they make amazing grilled cheese sandwiches.
12. Tennis shoes are my new best friends
Let's just say that I do not have a lot of time to get a pedicure while in college.
14. I have studied a lot
Suprise, people actually come to college to learn!
