1. Telling everyone the sixteenth floor had Penthouse suites.

It does. (I swear)

2. Leaving early for class and still being late because you had to wait for the elevator.

Well this is just great.

3. 16 flights of stairs during a fire drill…..

"Guys...I haven't done this much physical activity since my fall sport in high school."

4. Seeing Beth Ann’s smiling face every time you walked in the doors.

Thanks for always being a friendly face!

5. Being able to walk through the double doors to the dining hall…but then having to go outside to get back into the dorms.

Like WHYYYY?

6. Getting drunk and making it to the back door JUST before it locks at midnight.

...and you're not even ashamed of how proud you are.

7. The amazing sunrise and sunset views from the upper floors.

Who knew something so pretty could exist in Toledo?!

8. Trying to sneak onto the roof from the staircase on the sixteenth floor.

Okay, I'll be your watch while the repair guy goes to the bathroom... READY GO.

9. You and three of your closest friends planned your showers at the same time so you could talk.

Just straight monopolizing on the shower options. #WeDon'tGiveAFuh

10. Seeing Julie (the best UT employee) every night at the dining hall.

HEYYYY GIRLLL!

11. Every single floor is painted a different theme! Mario! Sweet tarts! 90s TV shows!

You become entertained at the simplest things after living in the awful white-walled dorm room.

12. Hiding things for future residents in the ceiling.

It'll be like Christmas!!!...if they ever find it.

13. Having to pause your game of Kings around midnight and 2 a.m. while RAs make rounds.

"No teenage drinking in here, guys! I'm just chillin' with the squad."

14. Putting all your alcohol in a “non-UT container” so they can’t find it during room inspections.

Why yes, you may look for contraband items in my sock drawer.

15. Trying to match colors with your roommate, failing miserably, and having a typical Parks dorm room.

So. Much. Potential....ugh whatever.

16. Feeling superior with your extra inch of space if you had a corner room.

I would have used that inch for something WAY cooler than that girl.

17. Having way too much fun hiding and jumping out at people with the confusing maze-like layout.

But getting annoyed when they do it to you, of course.

18. Getting written up during 24 hour quiet hours.

But it's 2 p.m. and all I did was sneeze.......

19. Free alarm clock, thanks to the football team.

Go Rockets, I guess.

20. Showing your Rocket Card every. single. time. you walk in.

Like, seriously, shouldn't you recognize me by now? It's January...

21. That deadly foot of space between your loft and the wall thanks to that weird metal bar.

My roommate speaks from experience: "Ow."

22. Sledding down Parks hill on literally anything. Trash bag? Sure. Pizza Box? I guess...Mattress? DUH.

You should probably switch your major to engineering because you are an "innovative problem solver" AF.

23. Watching people brave the negative-degree weather through your window.

If it's -30 and you're outside...your IQ may or may not be lower than the temp.

24. Living with 600 other freshmen.

It's great because we're all clueless and without parental supervision.

25. Hitting a GB in your dorm room and not getting caught.

Awhhh yeeeee.

26. Having your windows bolted shut because they’re “dangerous.”

Dude, whatever, I'd be fine if I parachuted off the fourteenth floor.

27. Standing outside in the winter for two hours (at 3 a.m.) because of a broken pipe.

And then calling your parents so they have to suffer, too.

28. When UT refuses to turn the air on at the end of the year and your sweat boils as it runs down your face.

(There's a reason cuffin' season is Fall-Winter.) (Get your sweaty arm away from me)

29. Riding the elevator for fun.

What a time to be alive!

30. Drinking in the dorms always adds a little excitement to your pre-gaming.

WAS THAT A KNOCK?!?!

31. Trusting the shaky lofts with your life.

Sometimes...it's just better to sleep on the floor.

32. Having a mini heart attack every time the desk chairs rocked back.

Every. Time.

33. Being kept up until 3am because your very considerate and kind floor mates decided to turn up. On a Tuesday. During midterms.

You're annoying and I hate you. #IJustWantSleep

34. Annnnd then having the entire floor shake because some obnoxious boy got subs (he didn't need) for his birthday.

I'm telling your mom.

35. QUIET HOURS.

What self-respecting college student goes to bed before midnight?!

36. “3 elevators”….. but only one ever worked at a time.

It's as productive as this video.

37. Waking up on Sundays to the staircases covered in food thanks to rowdy freshmen going out the night before.

I just don't understand. WHO DOES THAT?

38. Ordering Oasis for delivery even though you could walk over and pick it up faster…. you’re just that lazy.

Ain't even mad.

39. Instead of a walk of shame - it was an elevator ride of shame.

Yep.. definitely going to regret that.

40. That one cool RA who buys everyone alcohol.

I love it when people encourage me to be irresponsible.

41. Living down the hall or a few floors up from your best friend was PRIME.

It's so much easier to stay in touch when you live in the same building. Zero effort.

42. Having your roommate hate you because you lost your key and you guys had to pay $125 to change the locks.

We all mess up sometimes.

43. God forbid you ever forget your Rocket Card.

"You forgot your ID? Here, fill out a billion forms and sign over your life. But wait! There's more."

44. Timing it perfectly so someone holds the door for you instead of having to swipe your own Rocket Card.

Laziness at it's finest.

45. Trying harder at keeping a straight face while drunk at the front desk than you have at anything….ever.

You got this. THEY'LL NEVER KNOW.

46. That one time someone got stabbed outside during the first week of school.

Yeah, college was great. Until someone got stabbed.

47. Feeling like you were in the Hunger Games every time the UT alerts went off through campus speakers.

I'm the next Katniss Everdeen.... probably.

48. That glorious feeling when half of your crowded floor moves out after Greek Rush weeks.

BYEEEEEE.

49. Being woken up at 4am to the cheery sound of some train conductor continuously blaring his horn through the entire campus.

Some people just like to watch the world burn.

50. Being able to call yourself a Parks Princess, duh.

Bow down.
