20 Questions All UW Students Ask Themselves

March 14, 2016 //  by Elizabeth Alvarado

Share1FacebookTweet

No, none of these include, “Where the hell is (insert building name)?” We’re talking about the hard hitting, keep you up at night, existential questions that only a true UW student will understand.

1. Has anyone ever died from slipping on the bricks in Red Square?

tsoap.wordpress.com

THEY. ARE. SO. SLIPPERY.

2. Wait, how have I still not died slipping on the bricks on Red Square?

wifflegif.com

Okay, but seriously….how?!

3. Why do Friday quiz sections exist?

funniestmemes.com

Especially ones that count attendance.

4. Yeah, there’s a fine, but would I really get caught if I jumped into Drumheller Fountain?

I mean, it is one of those things everyone does before graduating. Apparently.

5. Why are there so many little kids running around the quad?

imgur.com

I must have missed the memo stating campus is now a park.

6. Will people notice if I try to take a selfie here in front of the cherry blossoms?

I’m trying to be discreet here, don’t look at me.

7. Is Padelford Hall pronounced “Puh-dell-ford” or “Paddle-ford”?

riffsy.com

AKA what I think about when I can’t sleep at 3 a.m.

8. Why are there so many Mormons trying to stop me on the way to class?

religionandpolitics.org

Not today, buddy. I’m late to class. Again.

9. Is it okay to wear shorts even though it’s only 60 degrees out?

giphy.com

The struggle of living in Seattle is real.

10. Why the hell are all my English classes in the most random places?

feedyoursoul.com

…Like the Electrical Engineering Building?

11. What events have free food this week?

viralsocially.com

#CollegeProblems

12. Will I ever walk into the reading room in Suzzallo and not feel super cool?

commons.wikimedia.org

No. The answer is no. I mean, look at it.

13. Why do I always forget to use the coupons in the student survival kit we get every quarter?

wikipedia.com

Excuse me while I go facepalm myself.

14. Why are 99% of the restaurants on The Ave Asian food?

collegemagazine.com

I need some variety here, okay.

15. Why do some people think WSU is better?

memesvault.com

LOL.

16. Ugh, why is everything at the District Market so expensive?

money
giphy.com

I’m too poor for this. Help.

17. How do people manage to find the time to play guitar and frisbee on the quad?

I’m secretly really jealous.

18. Is the Seattle Freeze real? Am I a part of that?

seriouslyseatown.blogspot.com

Oh, god. Am I going to hell?

19. Will I really look that lame if I use an umbrella?

disney.com

“But only international students who aren’t used to the rain use them.” Ugh.

20. Do I really have to graduate??

giphy.com

No, but really. Do I? Insert crying face emoji here.
