Syllabus week is (sadly) over and real class has finally begun. We're now expected to show up on time; no more playing the "I didn't know where my classroom was" card. Back to breaking out pens and papers and writing notes with our ugly handwriting since we haven't written anything down in months. Netflix marathons must come to a halt and reality has officially kicked back in. While you're bored in class and scanning social media, here's a little humor to lighten the mood in your 8 a.m. lecture and a checklist to see if you're a true Topper:
1. You are WAY too excited that WKU's campus now has geofilters for snapchat and you use them every chance you get. You even take pictures of the buildings, and then scroll over to the filter that matches the building.
2. You still have no idea what the red, strange-shaped statue is standing in the middle of Centennial Mall, nor will you ever figure it out.
3. If you live in a house off-campus, your house most likely has a name that everyone calls it. (ex: Frogtown, Plantation, Wolf Den, The Church–which btw, is definitely not a church).
4. Your fake has been taken by Hilligans more times than you've actually been inside of the building.
5. You've sat in the Cookout drive-thru line for over 20-minutes because you just couldn't imagine ending your night without their onion rings and a milkshake.
6. You're used to sitting in traffic when traveling home on I-65 because you already know that construction will NEVER be done.
7. Unlike at many other schools, you probably can't remember the name of the football stadium which you pass everyday going to class. It's Smith Stadium for those of you who forgot.
8. You find as many opportunities as you can to throw in "Go Tops" into casual conversation.
9. You've gotten on the wrong bus line and accidentally ended up going downtown, or even worse to the shopping mall.
10. You have taken the generic, basic picture of you and the new Big Red statue whether you're hugging him or sticking your arm out with him, you know you're guilty of this.
11. You know where the terms "the Valley" and "Egypt" are located on campus.
12. You actually know every word to the WKU fight song, and you proudly belt it out every time it comes on at games.
13. Football games have second halves?? Really? Because no WKU student would know this because none of them have stayed that long.
14. Homecoming is your favorite time of the year.
15. You're either terrified or overly-obsessed with Big Red. There's no in-between.
16. If you don't know what G.A.D.S. stands for, do you even go to WKU?
17. You get way too excited when you open your email inbox and see an email from Skipper, Bob. You know it's going to be a good day.
18. You've awkwardly ran into an ex or one-night-stand at Preston one too many times.
19. You get overly excited when you find quarters because that either means you can park at a meter on campus or save it for laundry in the dorms. Quarters take on a whole greater value.
20. You plan your entire week around what you're doing Thursday night because that's the only night people go out since everyone goes home on the weekends.
