1. You wear whatever you want to class without giving it a second thought
Flannel pajamas pants, unkempt hair, Ugg boots, no makeup. You're ready to go.
2. You go on high alert when you see a guy on campus
Who are you? What are you doing here?
3. You can wake up fifteen minutes before class starts and still make it there on time
It takes less than ten minutes to get from one end of campus to the other. It's a beautiful thing to be able to sleep in as late as you possibly can.
4. You get a headache when large groups of people are visiting campus
Especially when you're just trying to eat some lunch before class, but there are no forks so you end up having to eat your salad with either a spoon or your fingers. 0/10 would not recommend.
5. You get ridiculously excited for Chicken Nugget Night at the dining hall
HOW ARE THEY SO FRICKIN DELICIOUS???
6. You have about 5,000 pictures of Le Mans in your camera roll
It looks like a freakin' castle. How could you not?
7. You're sick of saying, "It's right across the street from Notre Dame" because no one knows what you're talking about if you just say "I go to Saint Mary's"
One guy I met at DomerFest thought Saint Mary's was "one of the older dorms on ND's campus." Like..no. What are you doing. We are here, people.
8. Driving down The Avenue after a break from school makes you really, really happy
The Avenue will always lead you home 💙
