If you are a Brandeisian, you have spent more than your fair share of time with each of these buildings. They become like a second family, protecting, annoying, and getting you through your day. Although you have a love-hate relationship with most, at the end of the day, they make you feel at home. What would happen if your actual family members turned into the Brandeis buildings? Here's what we imagine would happen:
The SCC: Mom
She is always open; no matter what, she is there for you. And she has pretty much everything you need for survival.
Usdan: Dad
You probably do not spend as much time with him as your mom, but definitely still has enough essentials for everyday life. He gives you food and plays games with you, but also deals with boring things like picking up the mail.
Sherman (and the Stein): Grandma
Although she recently got a new makeover, Grandma still feels more “homey” than some of your other relatives. She also always makes sure you are fed, even at two in the morning.
Castle: Grandpa
He is probably the oldest one in the family, and although he gets unsafely sick sometimes (and needs a hip replacement soon), he still has stories to tell.
Rosie: Your Stoner Cousin
Yes, she is in college but how much does she study? Rosie knows how to have a good time and in between the beer pong and smoke breaks, she occasionally cracks open a book.
SSC: The "Smart" Sibling
He or she is always studying, leaving no time for a social life. This sibling is a bit nerdy at times and will never miss a chance to show off his or her intelligence, but will always help you with science homework if you need it.
Library: Your Older Sibling
Although you sometimes fight and hate each other because you spend too much time together, your sibling is always there for you when you need him or her most.
The Village: The Study Abroad Student Living With Your Family
Maybe he or she comes in halfway through the year, maybe said person leaves and come back. Either way, they are a part of the family.
Spingold Theater (and Goldman-Schwartz Fine Arts Studios): Kinda-crazy-but-creative Older Aunt
Mods: The Much Older Sibling
Maybe your parents had him or her very young and decided to wait for the rest. Either way, he or she is done with “family life” and wants to move out.
Massell and North Quads: Your Annoying Twin Younger Siblings
They are always fighting for attention and trying to out-do each other. Seriously, you are basically the same: accept it.
Rabb Steps: Your Annoying Younger Brother
Your parents make you drive him to school everyday. Luckily, at the end of the day when you have to pick him up, you are not in your tired morning mood anymore and he is not quite as much of a pain.
IBS: Professional Uncle
Mandel Quad: The Creative Sister
Gosman: Really Fit Uncle
That really fit uncle of yours. You would not expect someone of his age to be so fit, but he can somehow kick your ass in every athletic activity you try.
Great Lawn: Your Cat
Nice, quiet, and relaxed most of the
time, your cat is what you look forward to coming home to after a long day of school. He or she encourages you to lay in the sun on a nice day.
Chapel’s Field: Your Dog
Super fun, energetic, and unafraid to get muddy. You always look forward to seeing him because he is the life of every event.
Ridgewood: The Impressive Cousin
That cousin who you do not
know that well, but you always see at family get-togethers. He or she is extremely
put together, has amazing fashion sense and always has life together. He or she gets all the attention at those family get-togethers, which makes you more than
a bit jealous.
We spend more time with certain family members and less with others, but at the end of the day, each one fills an important part of the Brandeis community.
