If you have ever been, or are currently, enrolled at SUNY Geneseo or any college, for that matter, hopefully, you have learned your ABCs by now. Just like everything else in college, you will probably have to relearn them, but this time, it will be a whole lot harder and make even less sense then when you first began. So, here are the ABCs of Geneseo, certainly not as easy as one, two, three or even a do, re, mi.
Aagesen.
Perhaps one of the coolest professors at Geneseo, known for his sense of style and the numerous stories and slides he will undoubtedly share. Just watch out for those exams, though.
Bio majors.
A vegan, a crossfitter, and a bio major walk into a bar, I know this because they all told me so. Just like listening to an Adele song, you go in thinking everything is going to be alright but when you come out of it, you are never the same.
Cs get degrees.
Geneseo's unofficial slogan.
Dog.
"Wait you saw a dog, where? Take me to it right now." Separation anxiety from one's own dog often causes this dialogue.
Empty Balance (meal plan).
Spending $6.95 for a cup of pineapple will cause you to run out of your meal plan, sooner or later. In the last month of the semester, all of those with empty balances are out looking for sugar daddies or sugar mommas to feed them.
Food (CAS).
Not even going to touch this one (just like how you probably don't want to touch CAS food).
Geneseo Crushes
Hockey
The football of the ice. Hockey reins supreme, catching an Ice Knights game is a religious experience.
Ice
Whether you're slipping on it on your way to class or watching an Ice Knights game, you are forever surrounded by it. Throw away those Uggs and invest in some skates.
Justification
How did I even get into Geneseo, why are my grades so low, how did I end up at the Stizz', where are my pants and why can't I find the Chowhound? All questions you will ask but the justification will just never arrive.
Knights
Geneseo Knights. Come on, pretty self-explanatory, I hope you don't need more than that.
Lotus
A journey that lasted 40 days and 40 "knights," yes the line for lotus is always a mile long, but it is worth the wait. A short line at Lotus is something that won't ever be passed up.
Milne
Where students spend their days and nights, endlessly writing essays. Nonstop studying is a constant.
Newton
Where the majority of classes take place, including those dreadful gen. ed's.
Onondaga
Nicknamed dirty 'daga, the Geneseo freshman dorm is full of rivalries between 'daga north and south.
Paul's Balls
Drunk food 101.
Quidditch
It's well known Geneseo is quite magical, perhaps this is the reason why.
Rochester
Where is Geneseo? Oh, it's right by Rochester.
Statesmen
The Stizz', Geneseo's favorite and just about only bar is well known for good times and bad decisions.
Theater 101
Everyone's favorite gen. ed. class.
Uhots
The drunken five-star restaurant of Geneseo.
Voted Most Likely to Succeed
Only the brightest attend and eventually graduate from Geneseo, and those who do are most likely going to succeed.
Where is the Chowhound
This question is asked at least 100 times a day on Yik Yak alone. For pete's sake ( and for our's too) can someone build a chowhound app already and track this dog, it's almost as hard to find as Pancake the cat.
Xanax : Quite a bit of stress goes along with attending Geneseo.
Yik Yak : Geneseo's favorite social media account.
Zombies
Zombies Vs. Humans, enough said.
