17 Signs You're Back at Pitt
Incoming Student Resources

Another year at Pitt has finally arrived! From South O to North O and everything in between, here are 17 signs you've made it back to your favorite school on earth.

1. Sylly "week" lasted for all of a good ten minutes

IF YOUR SCHOOL HAS AN ENTIRE WEEK OF NOTHING, DON'T TALK TO ME.

2. You raided the activities fair to get all of the free stuff


3. The line for Cathy Cafe is out the door

4. Meanwhile, the line at the bookstore is approximately seven miles long

5. You have browsed through all the new script gear and considered buying Chuck's entire tent.

JUST LOOK AT IT! BEAUTIFUL!

6. The Pete is PACKED.

It's like New Year's in August. Give it time.

7. You have crashed freshman orientation events to get free food and/or stuff

Why yes, I am a first year moving into the Quad. I'll just take this ice cream bar and be on my way.

8. Speaking of freshmen, you see them walking around in groups of 86

9. You're so ready for football just because you want to sing Sweet Caroline

10. You always check to see if you have your ID before leaving your room.

Because the one time you forget to check, you won't have it.

11. You already had to tackle the *gulp* hill

12. Market and Perch food is at its peak for about three days

(Sorry to any freshman readers, but your best days are behind you)

13. The thought of getting hit by a bus for free tuition re-enters your head

"Some people swear they saw me push her in front of the bus. That was an even worse rumor."

14. Rainy days are filled with anxiety over untrustworthy buses with large splash radii.

15. The Fifth walk sign is already on your last nerve

16. You keep getting emails about student health Insurance

But everything is A-ok because

17. You get to see your favorite tall building every day

Is this what true love is like?


Welcome back and Hail to Pitt!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
