Five Things Every Liberty Student Can Relate to

Whether you're a student at Liberty University or have only heard of the school, there are a few things that most students here understand all too well. Read on to learn a few of them.

1. Waking up to the glorious sounds of construction 
You don't need to set an alarm before your 8:15 class. You already have an alarm system, thanks to ear-splitting dump trucks, thunderous bulldozers, and other lovely equipment beginning at o'dark hundred every morning.

On a related note, it's important to never expect to own any light-color shoes while on campus. Instead, a shoe color I highly recommend is an elegant Red Mud Brown. As an added benefit, shoes in this color will always stay the same color, no matter how rainy and muddy it may be outside. You always want your shoes to help you put your best foot forward.


2. Getting lost in DeMoss

Some people say the fourth floor isn't so bad. "You just have to get used to it," they say. "It's really not too difficult." But some of us know better than that. Rumor has it that to this day, there are still seniors lost on the fourth floor, never to see the light of day again. I have a suspicion that every night after the last professor has left, that sinister fourth floor secretly shifts shape for another day of getting poor students lost.

3. Going hungry some days

Let's face it...sometimes the Rot just has some really bad days. What is that meat in their "Main Dish" of the day, anyway? Mongoose? A wombat? Pretty sure the Rot workers don't know either. And they put so much wax on the fruit, it's like eating a candle.

Yet there's still a mad rush to the Rot after every Convo. And speaking of Convo...


4. David Nassar's skinny jeans
Can he even get them off at night? Probably not...they most likely double as pajama pants and every other type of pants known to mankind (and also the unknown ones). It'd just take too much muscle he didn't have to wrestle those tight things off.


5. Bananas everywhere...
Especially the roof of the Rot. Apparently, this drives some of the administration absolutely bananas.

So we had LU Facilities clean off the roof again and you are still throwing bananas on the roof! Why is this such a thing?? Say goodbye to 🍌 pic.twitter.com/ATEXTaYn4P

Hopefully you've been able to relate to some of these things if you're a Liberty student, and if you aren't a Liberty student, hopefully you've enjoyed learning a little more about the unique phenomenons we face each day.

(And don't even think about throwing bananas on the roof of the Rot.)
