Your experience in college is largely whatever you make it. With the number of resources and activities available to students, you can completely tailor-make your Wisconsin Experience. But there are some things that are pretty universal for Badgers.
- Walking up Bascom and wondering if you’re really that out of shape
- Fighting your way onto the 80 at Humanities so you don’t have to experience the aforementioned item
- Successfully feeding yourself for free during Wisconsin Welcome week
- Wondering if that fountain in Library Mall actually works or is just a sculpture
- Knowing that College is a library, and the Library is a bar
- WAFFLE WEDNESDAY
- Being amazed that you found your way out of Humanities without having left a trail of breadcrumbs
- Understanding the beauty of a cart lunch on the first warm day of spring
- Knowing that the first “warm” day of spring can mean 40 degrees, and you’ll still be sans jacket
- Doing everything in your power to avoid an 8 a.m. power lecture
- SERF, FIG, CALS, WASB, and DoIT all mean something to you
- Redecorating your apartment on August 15 with your Hippie Christmas finds
- Making the trek all the way to the Capitol Square just for hot-and-spicy cheese bread
- Salivating when you hear the words Juston Stix
- Not being weirded out when you see flamingos on Bascom Hill
- Either flocking to or completely avoiding State Street on Halloween. There is no in-between.
- Narrowly escaping death when you slide down Observatory Hill on a cafeteria tray
- Participating in a snowball fight with 4,000 of your closest friends (and adversaries)
- Literally needing it to be the end of the third quarter so you can jump around to thaw your toes
- Watching the sunset on the Terrace and thinking how #blessed you are to be a Badger
