The Real MVPs of URI

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at URI chapter.

1. Professors who don’t take attendance

You’re getting paid whether I pass or fail, so why do you care if I’m here?

2.  Professors who post slides on Sakai

You make studying 984,736 times easier.

3.  The person who already made a Quizlet for the exam you have

There really is a special place in heaven for you.

4. The person you followed to their parking spot

It’s like The Hunger Games out here. 5.  The person who hands out free samples of Wicked Good Kettle Corn

He/she gives you two handfuls of pure gold.

6.  Everyone who posts on ratemyprofessor.com

Seriously, always consult before enrolling.

7.  Professors who give out permission numbers

“Pls let me in ur class, I need to graduate.”

8.  Professors who don’t have required textbooks

Thank you for saving me money.

9.  The AVS 101 Professor

The. Best. Class. Ever.

10.  The Stir Fry Guy

Making lunch and dinner at Hope so much more enjoyable.

11.  The Dunkin employees who automatically assume you want a hot cup

It’s a New England thing.

12.  Anyone giving out free stuff

This is a college kid’s wet dream.

13.  Whoever came up with the 4/20 Hungry Rhody Deals

Genius.  Just genius.

14.  The Emporium workers who load you up on french fries

Because they know it’s not coming out of their paycheck.

15.  The people who don’t park like a**holes

A rare breed these days, but much appreciated.

16.  Everyone who wipes down their gym equipment after they use it

I truly enjoy not getting ringworm. It’s the best.

17.  Uber Drivers

When dorms are on campus while houses and bars are 20 minutes away…

18.  The stoners on the quad

They just make me smile with their hammocks and drug rugs and ukeleles.

19.  Our basketball team

>>>>>> our football team

20.  Professors who send out reminder e-mails (especially for online classes)

They understand that there is a lot going on.

21.  The inventor of butt-nuggets

#ThingsYouCanOnlySayAtURI22.  Nonnie, the CVS cashier, may she rest in peace

“Have an excellent.”

23.  Private renters

Infinintely better than dealing with real estate agencies, I promise.24.  The bouncers at Wheelhouse

Yes, I am 28 years old from Bloomfield, Connecticut.  My zip code? Uhhhh….

25.  The Rhody Ram

Obviously.
