20 Things That Will Make Sense To Western University Students

Please don't kill me for this, Chakma.

1. You either spent oweek sitting through some sort of rally or rallying.

From what you remember, it was an unforgettable time.

2. The only dry part of your oweek was the conversation you had to make during run-ins with the person you hooked up with.

USC

Probably at that sweaty rave.

3. Soph appeal is a real thing.

USC

Apparently there's something oh so attractive about upper year students in uniforms that have probably been vomited on during walk homes and hair that hasn't been washed for a week.

4. Your bed in rez creaked when you tossed and turned at night, but you found out the hard way how much louder it got with two people *tossing and turning* at night.

If you catch my drift. Anyone above or below you probably also knows.

5. "I was hissed at / chased by a goose" is actually a valid reason for being late to somewhere.

Western Gazette

They're everywhere and they're aggressive.

6. That moment you find yourself skipping class to catch up on class because you're 14 weeks behind but school only started 3 weeks ago.

But then you nap to avoid all your problems.

7. If there's anything that Western students are passionate about, its day drinking, HOCO and after parties.

Nothing like shotgunning on a stranger's roof at 8am.

8. You feel strongly about Rick's and there will always be a special place in your heart for the legend himself.

Truly a timeless tradition.

9. Prohibition is filled over intoxicated under aged people and smells like your next big mistake.

You probably vowed to never go back after first year.

10. Wondering if Ceeps actually hits a capacity by 10pm or if the bouncers just pick a random time and say let's just watch all these bitches freeze.

The Ceeps

$20 at the back door usually seems like a better option at that point.

11. Girls: The bathroom lineup at the bars may be as long as the one outside, but you're guaranteed to receive at least 3 complements while you wait.

Sometimes I think of all the friends I've made in that bathroom and wonder how they're doing.

12. When you're 12 beers deep on a Monday night dancing on the tabletop as Jack's and stop to pray that your future will be brighter than the balloon man in the corner.

Jack's

Still have no idea why he's always there tbh.

13. You pretty much have to wake up at 6am to make it to an 11am class if you plan on taking the bus in the winter.

The LTC accounts for half your problems in life.

14. You can tell from Facebook who's over involving themselves by taking multiple VP positions as an attempt to get into Ivey.

So many conferences, so many cover photo changes, so many bar nights for charity.

15. The days you put in effort to look good on campus you don't see a soul but the days you look like you rolled out of the garage disposal you see every person you know.

I SWEAR I don't always look like this.

16. You've resorted to crazy tactics for a seat at Weldon during finals even though there's like 4 other libraries on campus.

Facebook

Pro tip: if you don't mind the trek the education library is dead enough to hear a pin drop.

17. You know its never really safe to put away your winter jacket for the year because the temperature fluctuates more than your GPA.

15 degrees and sunny today, -5 and snowing tomorrow.

18. You've asked yourself how much money you've spent at the Starbucks in the UCC but don't want to know the answer.

Probably enough to keep it from ever going bankrupt.

19. Exam season is actually just code for patio season because you'll spend more time at Barney's than campus.

@barneyspatio

And you'll also post 6 instas to let everyone know.

20. The years of your life spent at Western will always be the best years of your life and an experience that you'll (sadly) never get again.

Make the most of every moment, because before you know it, they'll all be gone.
