Life as a Temple Student Explained in 24.5 Gifs

1. "Please, God, let that noise have just been a firework."

2. Hearing freshmen talk about how unfair a 3- to 5-page research paper is (also, hearing most things freshmen say).

3. Buying your own coffee maker because you'd probably be celebrating your next birthday and still be in line at Saxby's or Starbucks.

4. Screaming internally at people who don't seem to know how to put one foot in front of the other on the sidewalk.

5. No good morning text from bae? It's alright. You'll most likely get one from TUAlert.

6. There's a good chance the elevators in some buildings are broken the day you run late for your class on the top floor.

7. There's also a good chance none of the printers in your buildings work on the morning you're printing a paper for the class you have in twenty minutes.

8. Richie's. No explanation needed.

9. Stopping to pet every dog you see on Liacouras Walk, even if you're still late for class.

10. Raging all-nighters at Club Tech.

11. Awkwardly digging around in your wallet and bags for change to donate to the many can-shakers at Alumni Circle.

12. Deciding whether to upset your stomach by eating dining hall food or to upset your bank account by buying good food.

13. Becoming an expert at dodging bodies as you walk down city blocks trying to text.

14. The most insane species of squirrels you've ever seen in your life.

15. Knowing sorority girls have the best food fundraisers.

16. Saying goodbyes to your roommates before you walk outside in the winter in case you blow away in this wind tunnel and they never see you again.

17. Looking at the Temple Snapstory like, "My snap was bomb yet these snaps were chosen over mine?"

18. Your dorm doesn't have air conditioning in the summer but it's OK, all of your classrooms are below freezing.

19. Frat houses aren't mansions. They're actually the farthest thing from mansions. So, so far.


20. LOL if you're trying to drive through campus during class hours because the parade of students crossing the street LITERALLY never ends.

21. Getting frustrated having to deal with administrative stuff because you're probably going to wait half a lifetime just to get to talk to someone.

22. "Admiring" the construction (admiring = what deadly chemicals am I breathing in???).

23. The little old preacher man, and other people trying to hand you religious reading material at the Bell Tower.

24. Knowing that despite all the crazy stuff you experience on campus, you'd never change a thing. Thank God I'm a Temple Owl.

24.5. Always letting it be known: WE BEAT PENN STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
