#ClemsonProblems

Clemson University is a beautiful school, filled with Tiger Pride. Its students love

 

their purple and orange, cheering on their sports teams, having a great time with 

 

friends, and of course studying hard to get their degree. However, looking at a 

 

postcard doesn’t tell you everything about Clemson’s campus. There are some 

 

things you will never understand until you go here. You know you go to Clemson 

 

when…

 

1. On a nice day, your entire Instagram and Snap feed is full of pictures of the 

 

reflection pond and amphitheater. (Don’t forget the temperature filter on 

 

Snap! Isn’t it fun to make your Northern friends jealous?)

 

 

2. There might possibly be more squirrels than students.

 

 

3. Previously mentioned squirrels do weird things, such as drop a piece of fried 

 

chicken that they stole from a game day tailgate onto your head from out of a 

 

tree. (True story. No I did not eat it.)

 

 

4. When it’s cold, your biggest concern is the safety of Dabo Duck.

 

 

5. The day that Dabo Duck got a girlfriend duck was the highlight of your week. 

 

 

 

6. Purple and orange start to seem like they actually match.

 

 

7. Your entire wardrobe slowly becomes consumed by orange.

 

 

 

8. You are a pro at dodging solicitors on Library Bridge. (Cue very important 

 

phone call NOW…)

 

 

 

9. Hearing someone count from 1 to 4 automatically starts the Cadence Count in 

 

your mind.

 

 

10. You’re convinced that the sunsets here are purple and orange because 

 

Clemson…amiright?

 

 

11. Parking Services are the essence of your nightmares.

 

 

12. Don’t even get us started on class registration.

 

 

 

13. You’ve rushed the field to sing the alma mater with everyone.

 

 

14. Your legs may be as good as Carrie Underwood’s from all the hills.

 

 

15. You complain about your life all the time, but wouldn’t want to spend your 

 

college career anywhere else.
