What Your Pitt Freshman Dorm Says About You

We've all either been there or currently are—freshman dorm room living. This dorm room either makes or breaks your first year at college, depending on your building and roommate (or lack thereof). It is here that you will meet your best friends and your worst enemies and finally learn how to be independent. You probably left a legacy or two in your room that future residents definitely do not want to know about, but that you will never ever forget. Here's what your Pitt freshman year dorm says about you.


Tower A/Tower B

You think you are one of the greatest when, in fact, you're actually not at all (especially if you're in Tower A, we all know Tower B is best). You're jealous of the finer things in life that are given to other students, so you overcompensate by bragging about how hard you can "party." Despite how gross Market is, you live directly above it so you're probably the first to gain the Freshman 15—sorry 'bout it! Even though your building looks like a Brita filter, you're still proud to live there, so that's a respectable trait. You're most likely to graduate into one of the dirtier homes of South Oakland, but you'll still love it and act as if it's a 5-star resort. But for now, stay in your damn cylinders.

Sutherland

You're the smartest or the most athletic. The dichotomy in this building is evident, but either way you're going places. You may have the worst walk up the hill, but you'll end up probably having the best body... especially since no one eats at the Perch anyway. You're most likely to continue living up the hill in Pennsylvania or Panther since you're used to it and who else even wants to live up there anyway??

Nordenberg

You are the king/queen of all of Oakland. You were bestowed with the best freshman dorm, equipped with fridges, microwaves, and flat-screen TVs—and everyone is jealous. You probably think very highly of yourself, but you definitely think you have every reason to be this way. After freshman year, you'll probably live in one of the nicer South Oakland apartments or the on-campus Bouquet Gardens since you won't accept anything but the best at this point in your life.

Tower C

See Tower A/Tower B, but keep in mind you're either a loner or Panther Central really screwed you over. You're also more humble than the Tower A and Tower B kids, because you know the struggle of living in the worst building of the group.

Holland

You're living in every boy's dream—a building full of just girls. You're strong and resilient since you're most likely so used to an extreme increase in hormones and possible cat fights. At this point, you're all about girl power and empowering women—you're the next big feminist this country needs. Who knows, maybe you'll live in Amos after you're done with Holland and become the next president of one of the sororities.

Bruce

You're either a potential business major or you're a sorority girl (that's not a freshman), so that's weird. This is especially confusing since the majority of this building is comprised of boys who desperately wish to be a frat star. You're might be a CEO wannabe and think that you are extremely powerful—at least on Pitt's campus. Living here definitely means that you mean business AKA you might not be as fun as those Towers kids think they are. Next year, you'll probably be trying to climb your way to the top somewhere in a frat house.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
