You know you go to Towson when...

1...you know exactly what the Maryland flag looks like, even if you aren't from MD.

2...when you got your new 150th anniversary One Card, you cried when you saw your freshman year picture blown up.

3...you asked the One Card office to change your picture, but they said it would cost $15... so you cried.


4...you currently have a ZTA Breast Cancer Awareness pin on your jacket or bookbag.

5...you've tried to study in Freedom Sqaure, but you end up socializing with 80% of the people there.

16...as soon as the song "Uptown Funk" came out, your Uptown experience changed, especially your Instagram captions.

17...you have at least one Jimmy's cab driver's number in your phone, even though you vow to never use Jimmy's.

18...you also have one Uber driver's contact information.

19...as soon as the university AND Uptown got Snapchat filters, you put it in your story.

20...you've almost fallen on the Glen/West Village bridge during rain or snowstorms.


21...you know super senior is not an odd term.

22...you get Twitter updates from @TUFreeFood because who doesn't love free food? (Shoutout to whomever created this account.)

23...you've questioned how people have gained the freshman 15 with so many stairs and hills.


24...you've pulled several all nighters at Cook during finals week, but the free coffee helped you out.

25...you've waited 30 minutes in line at Ptux, but you know it's worth the wait.

26...the moment you discovered that Hawkins and the Psych building are actually connected, your life became easier.

27...there is always a bake sale in the Union, but you never have cash.


28...you are counting down the days to Halloweekend.

29...you know that no matter who performs at Tigerfest, you are going to have an amazing time.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
