West Chester University is hands down one of the greatest schools in Pennsylvania. With the amazing food trucks trailing alongside the streets and the cute little town that is just five minutes from campus, West Chester is a friendly, safe, and fun-filled place suitable for everyone. If you are a West Chester student like myself, you will find that this list of 7 things all West Chester students are guilty of pertains to you too!

1. Rushing into the Diner after a party at 2 am

Because who doesn’t want to devour loaded cheese fries, chicken fingers, and vanilla milkshakes at 2 in the morning?! When there is nothing open in the early hours of the morning, you can always rely on the Diner to satisfy your cravings. If you haven’t experienced a trip to the diner and taken advantage of its various unhealthy food choices, do you even go to WCU?

2. You waited in the huge Einsteins line every morning

Not even the lines trailing out the doors of Lawrence for a bagel will stop you from ordering Einstein's. Even though you’re most likely going to be a half hour late to your next class, the truly dedicated, die-hard Einstein’s fanatics know that waiting for a bagel and running to class with only 5 minutes remaining is undoubted, 100% worth it.

3. You used Tapingo for Starbucks every time you took a trip to the library

Honestly, while most of us are completely okay waiting in the Einstein’s line, nobody likes standing on their feet in the Starbucks line that is trailing all the way out to the door and into the Quad. To save time, it is easiest to walk right past Starbucks and into the library while simultaneously sending your order in. If this isn’t the most convenient way to order your favorite Starbucks coffee, I don’t know what is!

4. Ordering from the food trucks

If you're a student at West Chester, you know how repetitive and old the food can get at Sykes and Lawrence Dining Hall. And if you’re not close enough to drive home for a nice home-cooked meal, the limited food options will start to drive you absolutely insane. God Bless West Chester’s food trucks! With a variety of options ranging from sandwiches to pad tai, there is always something that sounds more appetizing than Dining Hall food or hoagies from Sykes. While you do have to pay cash to buy food from the food trucks, the switch up of options is worth your every last penny.

5. Accidentally walking into the Rec Center wearing a tank top

Okay, I think we can all agree that this is by far THE dumbest rule ever. Who works out in t-shirts? After my third time getting caught attempting to snuggle my way in wearing a tank top unnoticed, it’s safe to say that I will never be seen in the Rec again.

6. Spraining, breaking, or twisting your ankle on the West Chester sidewalks

There is always that one person if it's not you, who wipes out walking the uneven brick sidewalks. Whether you are drunk or dead sober, these walkways are everyone's worst enemy. And yes, I have seen many people completely sober fail to walk down these uneven paths. This is a serious problem that the West Chester Township has yet to address. Seriously people, get on it!

7. Trying to sneak into another dorm without someone signing you in

If you live in the dorms, you know this process takes way too much time and effort. Sometime your only choice it to smuggle your way in, even though you rarely ever get away with taking more than two steps past security before they ask you to show your ID.
