1. Coming back to subzero temperatures after spring break.
Your body has completely forgotten about the week you just spent in Cancun the second you drive into Orono.
2. Class will never be cancelled.
Blizzard? Class is still in session. Hurricane? Class is still in session. Sharknado? Class is still in session. Guess you’ll have to make your own snowday!
3. Wasting half of your gas trying to find a parking spot.
Every open spot is filled with snow. Every single one.
4. Wasting the other half of your gas sitting in your car with the heat on.
If you ever even do find a parking spot, it’s probably a mile from your class, so you’re obviously going to sit with the car running for ten minutes while you ponder why you didn’t go to school in Florida/hold back tears.
5. Stalking someone around the CCA parking lot for a spot.
Driving four miles an hour slowly behind someone, wondering why he or she can’t pick it up a step and walk a little bit faster. Like, are you not freezing? Hurry up!
6. Being stalked around the CCA parking lot for a spot.
Even though you did it to someone when you got your space, there’s no way you’re sprinting to your car because someone’s lurking for a spot.
7. Trying to leave campus.
Trying to exit campus from the Park Street entrance? Yeah, good luck. Even if there wasn’t oncoming traffic, you wouldn’t be able to see it over the massive mounds of snow, anyway.
8. Trying to find an outfit to wear out.
Parties are roughly 500 degrees…outside is roughly -5.
9. Convincing yourself NOT to order OHOP.
Orono House of Pizza is like a bad exboyfriend. It doesn’t matter if you delete the number from your phone, because you memorized it. At 1am, your fingers practically type it in themselves.
10. Seeing everyone you know everywhere you go.
Orono’s such a small town that there’s absolutely no way you won’t run into the hot guy from your chemistry class while you’re running around Hannaford in your sweatpants.
