20 Signs You Go To SMCC

1. You know the parking struggle.

2. But you adapt.

You quickly learn which parking lots empty out at certain times throughout the day.

3. You know a good view.

The view from campus is prime, even when the temperature is -10. Who wouldn’t love to be able to glance out the window in the middle of a lecture and see the ocean?

5. As well as a good one.

But then there are the professors st SMCC who go completely above and beyond and help you truly find yourself.

6. You know age is just a number.

Whether you want to admit it or not, you have friends from different generations.

7. You probably will end up spending more than two years at SMCC completing your degree.

8. You probably know a Liberal Studies major.

Most of the people on campus are majoring in Liberal Studies.

9. Refund Check Day.

Refund Check Day is like the Black Friday of each semester and everyone spends the first few weeks counting down the days until they actually have some money that doesn’t have to go directly to bills.

10. You work HARD.

You’re a full-time student at SMCC and also work two jobs to barely afford your bills.

11. You can read people, quickly.

Within the first couple days of each semester, you can easily tell who is there to just fool around and who is actually trying to build a future beyond SMCC.

12. You want to join a club. But can’t.

There’s a club you want to join at SMCC, but their meeting times don’t line up with when you are on campus.

13. You had no idea SMCC had “Greek life.”

Your Phi Theta Kappa membership invitation arrives in the mail and you wonder if it’s legit because you didn’t even know SMCC had a chapter of the National Honor Society.

14. You avoid the library.

Forget about trying to study in the library, there will either never be an open space, or it will be too loud to focus. Tip: The Captains House is almost always empty.

15. Plans never seem to pan out.

When your friends try to get together they can never find a time and place that works for everyone.

16. The second semester freak out…

You start freaking out during your second year at SMCC because you realize you have to go through the admissions process all over again when you start the transfer process.

17. You know what remedial courses are.

Whether you had to take them or not, there are a ton of remedial courses at SMCC each semester and you know what they are.

18. You’ve probably never eaten in the dining hall.

There is a good chance you have never even eaten in the dining hall at SMCC because its more expensive than the amazing little coffee shops that are less than a mile away.

19. You’ve practiced restraint.

There is at least one person you wish your professor would just kick out of class.

20. You’re a shortcut master.

You know all the shortcuts to the SMCC campus because you need to change up that 40 minute commute every once in a while.
