Being a Raven means so much to all of us who have chosen to attend Carleton University, and we love it!<\/p>\n

1. You hate everyone who goes to Ottawa U, and you have no idea why.<\/h3>\n

quickmeme.com<\/h6>\n

2. You avoid walking through Uni Center\u00a0at all times.<\/h3>\n

And you know all of the short cuts.<\/p>\n

3. You are much too familiar with the words “baked basa” if you live(d) on Res.<\/h3>\n

beyondthepeel.net<\/h6>\n

4. You wish Kettleman’s was just a bit closer to campus.<\/h3>\n

<\/h6>\n

5. Actually, why not just put one on campus?<\/h3>\n

plus.google.com<\/h6>\n

6. You get to campus at least 30 minutes early just to wait in one of four never ending Tims\u2019 lines.<\/h3>\n

\ntheasterisktoday.com<\/h6>\n

7. You practically live in your Carleton hoodie.<\/h3>\n

They are so comfy!<\/p>\n

celebuzz.com<\/h6>\n

8. You are way too familiar with Hull, QC.<\/h3>\n

And you will never want to go back once you turn 19.<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n

9. The considerable amount of stairs and hills = no need for the gym.<\/h3>\n

popkey.co<\/h6>\n

10. “What’s a GeeGee?” is a valid question.
\n<\/h3>\n

11. You swear Carleton residence is like Harry Potter \u2013 house cup and all.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h6>\n

12. The tunnels are avoided at all cost during CUSA campaigning season.<\/h3>\n

13. You are fully familiar with the moment of panic when you find out you have 10 minutes to get from St. Pat’s to Southam\u2026 or Loeb.<\/h3>\n

<\/h6>\n

14. Speaking of Loeb, you dread going to lectures here.<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0chairs are just so uncomfortable and awkward.<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n

15. The O-train never comes at its scheduled times.<\/h3>\n

brightestyoungthings.com<\/span><\/h6>\n

16. And\u00a0you are almost always late to class if you use OC Transpo.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h6>\n

17. You still can\u2019t find your way around Mackenzie, no matter how many classes you have in it.<\/h3>\n

headoverfeels.com<\/h6>\n

18. Bank street is the best street.<\/h3>\n

19. Thirsty Thursdays at Ollie\u2019s – enough said.<\/h3>\n

<\/h6>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

20. You are constantly questioned about why you chose Carleton if you\u2019re not in journalism.<\/h3>\n

<\/h6>\n

21. You will always be a Raven!<\/h3>\n
