10 Things That Will 100 Percent Happen To You At WVU

From knowing every word to "Take Me Home, Country Roads" to bleeding blue and gold, here are 10 things that will 100% happen to you at WVU!

Although I am just a freshman at West Virginia University and have yet to experience everything the university and Morgantown have to offer, a lot has happened in these short three weeks. Here are 10 things that have happened to me, and will 100 percent happen to you at WVU!

1. You’ll be able to leg press 300 lbs by the end of your freshman year

We (obviously) live on a mountain. Therefore walking anywhere in Morgantown will be a hike. The amount of hills that you will climb every single day will make the “freshman 15” impossible. After one year at WVU, your calf muscles will be absolutely amazing.

2. Thirsty Thursday will get you every time

25 cent drink night at Annex is tempting, I know. It can be a good time if you don’t get too carried away, but it can also have you with your head down a toilet for hours or an excruciating headache the next morning while you’re sitting in a lecture. Be aware!

3. You’ll lose your student ID

You’ll be overcome with panic at least once when you’re searching for your student ID and can’t find it while in the line at Chick-Fil-A trying to use a meal swipe.

4. Your entire wardrobe is blue and gold

You’ve managed to drop a couple hundred dollars at the book exchange and realized the only colors you wear now are blue and gold.

5. You will fall (but you’ll get back up)

Whether it’s at Arden (aka “party rock”) where you slip on some rocks, or if it’s falling and possibly rolling down frat row, chances are you will find yourself tripping at some point during your time at WVU. However, you’ll always get back up to do it all over again.

6. You’ll know every word to ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’

Being the theme song for the university, it’s only inevitable that you will learn every word.

7. You may get tear gassed

Those house parties on Grant street may have sounded like a fun idea until you and your friends got tear gassed by Morgantown police.

8. The PRT will break down on you, there’s no way avoiding it

Trying to get to your class on the Evansdale campus? You may find yourself e-mailing your professor explaining why you missed their class because the PRT broke down on you. Don’t stress over it too much, the professors and instructors are pretty understanding and it happens quite frequently. It also can be a fun time, you can meet some very interesting people on the PRT.

9. You’ll always end up at Sheetz

Some way, somehow, it never fails; once your night of partying is over and you have those “late night munchies,” Sheetz is always there for you. You’ll find yourself standing in the ALWAYS long line to check out. It’s all worth it in the end when you have your face full of mozzarella sticks and a milkshake.

10. You’ll have the time of your life

WVU students really know how to have a good time, and there’s always something going on. The people you will meet and the memories you will make will make you never want to leave.
