Look at the instagram "dogsofpugetsound," and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about...dogs and UPS just go together!

8. Todd Field
The soccer/rugby/kickball/baseball/softball/frisbee field accompanied with many hammocks and the sunny-day studiers.

Texting your professors to find out if the due date is accurate, you know, normal things.
16. Feeling as if you're in the presence of a celebrity when you're near an acapella singer

When you and your friends are so hungry before going out so you go to The Cellar and end up smelling like pizza for five years.
20. The terror of cupless Friday
it would be fine if there were actually enough cups for everyone.

All my life I want to be a logger! HACK HACK! CHOP CHOP!
