1. You're wondering how you passed your First-Year Seminar with that participation grade.
"We had a reading today? ... Please don't call on me."
2. Your ears perk up at the mention of certain words, because 8:15 is no longer just a time and a lodge is no longer just a small house to relax in.
3. You're already planning a Dis-O for your or your friends' future orientees.
4. Eight-Fifteen rewired your brain to order "smalls," "mediums," and "larges" at Starbucks.
"You mean a 'grande'?" - Snobby barista
5. You're calculating how to ensure your GPA is good enough to get into the B-School.
Or whatever major you want to pursue!
6. You still have the adhesive SpiderCard holder on the back of your phone.
I hope it comes off easily?
7. There's still sand in it from Beach Week.
8. Your biggest regret is not getting off campus more.
Imagine all the unexplored restaurants in Carytown.
9. Seeing posts on the Class of 2019 page gives you serious déjà vu.
"Aw, I hope y'all end up being roommates."
10. The sight of geese gives you war flashbacks to encounters with Triceragoose.
*walks off the sidewalk to avoid confrontation*
11. Your mom caught sight of your lodge shoes and asked what on earth happened to them.
"I, uh, took a hike in the rain."
12. You're extremely disappointed in your hometown's Yak game.
Thank goodness for Basecamp.
13. If you hadn't previously known all the lyrics to Sammy Adams' "All Night Longer," you do now.
Okay, maybe just the chorus.
14. You have articles of clothing that still have not quite recovered from paint lodge.
15. You're allowing the summer SpiderBytes to accumulate in your inbox.
"Oh, so we still get these in the summer...?"
16. Your friends from state schools are wondering how Richmond functions with only one dining hall.
When a school of only 3,000 has a pasta bar and a panini bar under one roof, I guess you only need one.
17. Your profile/cover photo is from Pig Roast or Investiture/Proclamation Day.
Because didn't everyone look great that day?
18. You've had to describe jersey dirt to your friends at home.
"I'm trying to describe it without making it sound disgusting."
19. The only reason you didn't gain the full freshman 15 is that hill next to Ryland.
Still out of breath when I reach the classroom.
20. The squad groupchat is still going strong, and you're counting down the days until you're reunited with your home away from home.
Can't wait.
