If you're a student at Syracuse University, you probably have a good idea of exactly what I'm referring to. There are so many things that make going to school here enjoyable, but it's the little things that we really need to step back and appreciate more often.
Here are the top 10 feelings for the average Syracuse University Student, in no particular order.
1. Game Day.
Game day for Syracuse is like Christmas (or any other exciting holiday you may celebrate). You wake up early, put on every piece of orange clothing you have and prepare yourself for some dome nachos.
2. When the temperature is above 32 degrees.
Living in Syracuse during the winter is quite literally like living in the arctic. Any time (especially between the months of November-March) the weather is above freezing, we all know it's going to be a good day.
3. When the line at Chipotle Mexican Grill isn't long.
Easily a top 10 feeling. When you go to Chipotle Mexican Grill after a long day and see that the line does not extend all the way to the end of the restaurant, life just gets a little bit better.
4. When the Juice Jam and Mayfest lineup is announced.
Juice Jam and Mayfest are two of the best days of the year. Rain or shine (or snow), these days always guarantee a good time for SU students.
5. When MySlice works the way it's supposed to.
Using MySlice to register for pretty much anything is always a nightmare. When MySlice works, it feels like something is on your side.
6. Going to Chucks for the first time.
I, personally, would not know what this feels like, but I've heard it's pretty great.
7. Drunkenly walking home and realizing Kimmel is still open.
Kimmel sells mediocre food to drunk Syracuse students looking to spend Super Card money rather than real money on food.
8. Showing pictures of campus to friends at home.
Syracuse has one of the most beautiful campuses in America, and it's pretty fun to brag about when you're home for breaks.
9. Seeing Otto roaming around.
He may not be the fiercest mascot in the world, but he is the friendliest! Sometimes Otto takes a casual stroll through campus and spotting him is always extremely exciting.
10. Making the campus Snapchat story.
Syracuse has a Snapchat story that anyone on campus can submit pictures and videos to, but only a few get selected and featured. Making it onto the Snapchat story is pretty exciting and sometimes a little embarrassing.
