The Eagle

We know you're still a freshman if...

- You don't realize EagleBuck$ are the same as real money.

- You still wear your Senior Class of 2004 prom/other high school activities T-shirt.

- You still think it's OK to take the elevator to the second or third floor.

- You actually believe your long-distance relationship will last.

- You do all your grocery shopping in the Eagle's Nest, neglecting the 200 percent price inflation.

- You still think the waffle maker in TDR is the coolest gadget ever.

- You bought all your books at the Campus Store.

- You think that the fact your professors never talk about the assigned reading means there's no reason to do it.

- You've waited more than four times in one week for "a ride" to "a party" in the Letts-Anderson Quad.

- You've gone outside for every fire drill.

- You don't know who Phil Bender is.

- You've thought about calling your parents to complain about feeling sick - and then realize it's because you drank too much the night before.

- You have your AU e-mail forwarded to an e-mail account that includes any references to your high school graduation year.

- You don't know what LA stands for in the LA quad.

- You see someone smoking a hookah in the quad and think it's a bong.
