No one likes going to class from December to February. Walking in the freezing cold just to not understand what's going on in that one required class doesn't seem worth it. Tons of money from our wallets are going towards these courses, and you shouldn't lose points for being absent (even though we're paying for it... that's for another day).
Walking from your off-campus apartment to Anderson and Gladfelter or trekking from Morgan to Annenberg may seem like hell. Scratch that; it is hell. Sadly, you gotta do what you gotta do. On your way to class you'll definitely come across these seven types of Temple students.
1. The Layered Student
Everyone knows that one person who walks in late to class with 14 layers on. They take 10 minutes to take everything off, and at first it's annoying as hell but then it gets plain old hilarious. No matter what temperature it is outside, from -5 degrees to 40 degrees, you'll find these Owls all bundled up.
2. The Athlete
Temple athletes confuse all of us. Not only do some get full-rides and other bonuses when other deserving students should (sorry to put them on blast). Instead, they wear the same Under Armor clothes every damn day. In the middle of January, they're still walking around campus with those gray sweats, maroon quarter zips, and half-full gallon jugs of water.
3. The Brave
Ever seen that one kid on campus walking around in a t-shirt and shorts? What's that about? Sure, maybe 25 percent of those people are going to or from the gym. The others, though, I'm not so sure. Did they wake up late? Did they not do laundry? Are they super human? So many questions and literally no answers.
4. The International Student
You hear the smooth purr of a car behind you by the SAC. You turn around, crisp air hits you in the face, and you roll your eyes. It's a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe. Who's driving it? It's an international student with all Gucci everything, a Louis Vuitton backpack in the front seat, and three friends clad in Balenziaga in the back. Are you jealous? Hell yes. Can you move from the cold? No way.
5. The Suit & Tie Student
Whether it be those pesky Fox students that always have presentations or that one dude that always wears that plaid suit, suit and ties scatter around campus. Now's not the time to look good, Derek. Just wear two pairs of sweats, fluffy socks, and a winter coat to your marketing presentation like the rest of us.
6. The Hermit
You will never see a Temple hermit. They never leave the warmth of their six-person apartment on 17th and Berks. Going to class is too much for them. Going outside is too much for them. Moving around is too much for them. You get my point. Have fun seeing this person after the groundhog doesn't get scared from its shadow.
7. The Never-Seen-Snow Student
Temple's known for having students from all over the U.S. and the globe. This means that some students are Californian, Floridian, or Puerto Rican residents. They have never seen the snow. And even after their first freak out at 3:00 AM with the first snowflake falling, they'll never get over it. Look out for students with smiles on their faces when it's under 32 degrees. (They don't know how horrible it can get).
