20 ways you know you attend CCU

You Know You Go To Coastal Carolina When…
Collider

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love where I go to school. I love my friends, the experiences I am being given, and all the memories that have yet to come. I wouldn’t want to be attending anywhere else, but some things are a little strange or unfair here. Mostly because this school tries way too hard to lose it’s party school look, which we all know, is never going to happen. Even the professors make fun of the fact that the school thinks they can make it come to an end. The school is good for academics, and sporting events, and other things, but that isn’t going to change the fact that they put a university by the beach, attracting students that enjoy to go out. They also try a little too hard to keep us under control in other ways to, such as speeding and not having any money to do anything. So obviously you know you go to CCU when…

1. You leave for class a half an hour early and still can’t find a parking spot


2 …even if you’re just running into Starbucks, you come back to a parking ticket on your windshield


3. You don’t understand why there are so many spend bumps and why they are so large

4. You also don’t understand why they are putting in another one


5 …or why there is construction going on all the time. Where are they getting all this money from? Oh yeah, me.

6. You had to take Math130i and you had no idea what was going on

7 …and just like everyone else you probably withdrawal and took it again


8. You had at least one alcohol violation in your dorm which university housing was snooping through you things


9. But at least it wasn’t pot because we all know this school looks at it like it’s meth


10. You lost your key and had to rent one and bring it back 15 minutes later so that you wouldn’t be fined


11. You have been fined for something. We all know well that this school will do anything to scam us out of some dollar bills.


12. You have been to Karaoke Tuesday at the Coop


13 …and Thirsty Thursday at Tongys


14 …and have a story or two about at time at Broadway At The Beach


15. You don’t understand why OZ had to take over Revolutions


16. You know what it means when “SLED is out”


17. Football tailgating is the best time of fall semester


18 …and so are Monarch pool parties. But also spring semester too.


19. The beach is also pretty important even though the drive sucks


20. If an event ends at happy hour, everyone goes to happy hour

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
