Every student's college experience is different. But there are a few things all High Point University students can bond over when it comes to their time in the bubble. Anyone who goes to this college can see that this list of ABC's is just too perfect.
A is for After Hours
The place where you go to die every Thursday night, or in my case, going to the foam party my freshmen year, almost suffocating and refusing to ever step foot in that place again.
B is for BBJ’s
Looking to go out on a Wednesday night? Head to Blue Bourbon Jacks because who doesn’t love $1.25 Bud Lights and kamikaze shots?
C is for Campus Concierge
What other school would have a concierge? And who doesn’t love their daily updates.
D is for Derby Day
Probably the best day on the High Point calendar. Just a day dedicated to day drinking, free food, and water slides.
E is for Extraordinary
At High Point University, every student receives an extraordinary education in an inspiring environment with caring people! Or is it: at HPU, every student receives an education in an environment with people?
F is for Fountains
Can’t make a turn on this campus without seeing a fountain. And you’re lying to yourself if jumping in one after a little too much wine on a Saturday night isn’t on your graduation bucket list.
G is for Greek Life
I may not be the best sorority member of the year, but who doesn’t live for Lip Sync during Greek Week.
H is for Hobby Lobby
Crafting is a lifestyle. Shopping at Hobby Lobby is a must--especially with their 40 percent off mobile coupon. Craftin’ on a budget.
I is for the Ice Cream Truck
Because doesn’t every college have the ability to get an ice cream or baked good while walking around campus?
J is for Jamba Juice
Newest addition to the High Point campus eating options, but first in my heart. If you’ve never had the tropical pitaya smoothie, you’re missing out.
K is for Kiosks
Running late? Grab some breakfast, a water, or a hot chocolate on your way to class! Better yet--for free! Who doesn’t love muffin days?
L is for Liberty
There’s something wrong with you if you don’t like Blackberry Wheat beer from Liberty. Lemon drops, Thin Mint shots, half-off wine on Tuesdays. This place may just be heaven.
M is for Mystuff Outages
Thank you for the email, Amy Hodge, but I will not be on Mystuff on Wednesday night at 2 AM, so I do not need to know about the 100th outage this semester.
N is for North College Terrace
Sorry sophomores, but there’s a 75 percent chance you’re going to end up in east bumblef**k.
O is for Onyx Ball
The only formal where GDIs and Greek people get together in formal attire and get drunk. Seniors only.
P is for Parking tickets
Thank you for the free parking pass, High Point, but if you’re going to allow people to have up to three cars, you really need to up your parking spots. I will park in a motorcycle spot if it’s the closest to my house.
Q is for Qubein, Nido Qubien
All Hail Nido.
R is for Ropes Course
I’m NARP (non athletic regular person) so I’ve yet to try it, but it sounds like a great time.
S is (no) Syllabus Week
Normal schools have a week of barely any classwork, but for some reason, on my first days of class I have a paper, a project, and 20 assignments due within the first week.
T is for Tuttle, Gail
Oh Gail…
U is for the UC
If she calls it the Wanek Center, she’s too young for you, bro.
V is for VIF (Very Important Family)
The prestigious list of Nido’s posse. Which I’ll never be a part of.
W is for Wagon Wheel
Because Wagon Wheel is the Anthem of North Carolina.
X is for (e)Xtra security
Thank you for your help, “officer,” but I like enjoying a beer on my patio. Beer doesn’t taste the same through a straw, so I will not put it in a closed container.
Y is for Yik Yak
Student Life may try to shut us down, but we can’t stop and won’t stop.
Z is for the zillions of dollars Nido obtains from people.
Thanks for all the new buildings!
