Here's another one for the list: When you know exactly how many cups of cappuccino, cans of Mt. Dew, and Red Bull it will take to get you through an "all nighter".

You know when your a grad student when you can pre-schedulde these drinks so as to produce a level of caffeine in your system that is appropriate for the level of fatigue you are likely to experience at various times of the night.

BTW, I would know nothing about this. :silly:

Bump...

You know you're in college when, This:

32641215.JPG

Is for lunch and dinner for 10 days straight (and yes, I'm on day one)

man, I miss those things, they would always make me feel like crap, yet they were crucial on saturdays/sundays during football. After eating those for a while, my friends and I started getting more and more expensive pizzas. The Tombstone pizzas soon became a staple. Then of course, we would just dump more cheese on those things, and debate which one was better.

Of course our one roommate had to go cheaper than the Totinos and get Mrs. P's or something, $0.60 cardboard things, wow.
