In the State of New York, walking up hills are considered especially heinous. In Cortland NY, the suffering people who undergo this vicious experience are students of the elite squad at SUNY Cortland. These are their stories. DUN DUN.

If you are a SUNY Cortland student, you know the real struggle of walking up the dreadfully steep hills. Whether it is Clayton Avenue, W Court Street or Prospect Terrace (the list goes on and on), all of us can relate to the amount of physical and emotional energy required to make it up the hills. Sometimes, you can swear that they get steeper and steeper with each step. It doesn't matter if you go to the gym all the time, 99 percent of the time you will end up out of breath. And for that 1 percent who do not get out of breath, what are you part super human?! Here are some gifs courtesy of google to demonstrate the process of voyaging up the hills.

1. You are in denial you have to walk up the hill.

OK, let me just check where the bus is so this way I do not have to walk up the hill! I can just take the bus up to the Cheney stop then walk to bowers from there. This damn WiFi, the bus app is not loading. Ugh I am going to be late for class. Its fine, I can just walk up the hill. I got this.

2. Mentally processing what you are about to endeavor.

The moment has come, you see the hill from the distance. Part of you thinks, "OK I got this...no big deal." Yet the other part of you thinks, "oh my, here we go again, I am about to undergo an extreme leg day right now..HELP."

3. You ask yourself, "what did I do to deserve this?"

Out of all my stupid college mistakes, this once takes the cake. What did I do to deserve this leg cramping, heart throbbing, out of breathe nonsense.

4. You attempt to be positive.

OK, maybe I am just being dramatic. I will be fine, this is not as bad as I thought.

5. When your friend tries to make conversation.

No, just no, knock it off. There is no way I am about to listen to your story about your weekend when I do not even know if I am going to be in physical shape to even stand after this. We can talk later.

6. The last few steps.

I.am.almost.there. Somebody just hold me when this is over!

7. "Do not cry because its over, smile because it happened."

Phew, pat yourself on the back, you did great. You made it up the hill without publicly embarrassing yourself or throwing a temper tantrum. This experience totally made you a stronger person...until next time.
