We all have secrets, and students at Providence College are no exception. When our opinion is different from the majority, often we feel like we need to hide it. Well, it's time to come clean. We all have Providence College confessions, and here are mine.
1. I don’t hate Ray.
The food is not that bad, and no one puts a smile on my face like Dot and Barb.
2. I don’t understand Take 3.
I just don’t get it. Like does it count as Friar Bucks, PC Cash, swipes of some sort, or nothing? No matter how many people try to explain it to me, I don’t think I’ll ever understand.
3. I considered not coming to PC solely because of the creepiness of Friar Dom.
As someone who is a little creeped out by all normal mascots, I am completely terrified of Friar Dom. I genuinely considered not coming to PC to avoid running the risk of bumping into him on campus. I have yet to get over my fear, but he and I are coexisting peacefully so far.
4. I barely knew a single word to any songs at Ludacris but mouthed along like it was my job.
To be honest, I didn’t even know Luda had his own songs. I thought he was always just “goin’ in on the verse.” There were probably two or three songs I recognized from middle school dances, but other than that I faked it with the best of them.
5. Every time I see Coach Cooley on campus, I freak out a little bit.
He is a celebrity who walks among us.
6. I stepped on the seal outside of the chapel.
Am I slightly terrified I’m not going to graduate? Yes.
7. I would never buy Yuck Truck during daylight hours.
There is something magical about the 11:30 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.-ish time period that suddenly makes everything at Yuck Truck not only appealing but necessary for existence.
8. The blue Powerade water bottle toting athletes terrify me.
Their athleticism is overwhelming.
9. One of the main reasons I go to the gym is to people watch.
After taking a few laps around to see who is there, the huge glass windows make people watching incredibly easy.
10. I have yet to cross Huxley without almost getting hit.
I stare down the quickly approaching cars and look the driver in the eye like “go ahead, please hit me, pay for my tuition.”
11. I am slightly intimidated by anyone in a Friar’s Club blazer.
They are just all so put together.
