10 Things You Need to Know About Dating a State Boy 1. You will leam to hate the drive between Meredith and State (or vice versa). This drive, although filled with anticipation at first, quickly be comes monotonous and tedious. You can only drive down Western Bou levard, Hillsborough Street, or Dan Allen Drive so many times before you realize that you could make the trek in your sleep. 2. You are always a State fan on game day. No matter your personal athletic affinity for the Blue Devils, Demon Deacons, Pirates, Tarheels, or any other team, you will find yourself donning State apparel and singing the “Red and White Song” along with your significant other at sporting events. 3. No matter your skin complex ion, the color red suits you. Those koozies, shorts, sweat shirts, and t-shirts (or any State gear, for that matter) that you have been wanting all come in the same color. For a little variety, try black or white. 4. Bricks are your best friends. From the infamous Brickyard to just about every building on cam pus, brick is everywhere. The sooner you can stop questioning the Univer- Erin Etheridge, Class of 2009 sity’s aesthetic decisions, the better. I hope you’re not allergic to clay. 5. Eventually you will get lost. State is divided into five cam puses; Meredith consists of just one. Simple math dictates that sooner or later you will fall victim to the one-way streets and traffic circles of State. Just go with the flow and eventually you’ll make your way back to Pullen, Hills borough, or Western. They’ll get you anywhere. 6. That little State ID can go a long way. Need a book or video that our library does not have? Trying to work out when the Meredith gym isn’t open? Want to receive discounts at Raleigh- area businesses? Need to score tickets for the big game? Simply borrow your beau’s ID, and see where it takes you! 7. Those cows you see outside the Vet School are good for some thing. Ice cream that is! Whether you are headed to D. H. Hill Library to do some late-night studying, to Talley Stu dent Center to meet up with friends, or to the refreshment stand to grab a bite to eat during a basketball or football game, try the University’s ice cream, made from State cow milk. Ask Gigi kDear Gigi, Fm'a new Meredith College freshman, and ever since I arrived on campus, I \ e heard a lot of people talking about you. They told me to write you here with my queMion(s). So, who the heck are you, and what can you do for me? Sincerely, Not-So-Knowledgeable Newbie Dear Not-So-Knowledgeable Newbie. v‘ - Welcome to Meredith College! I’m glad you wrote to me—as the official advice;,; columnist for the Meredith Herald, I have a duty to answer all of your burn- ing questions to the best of my ability. I can’t tell you who I really am, just ; as I don’t expect you to tell me who you are, but eveiyone knorVs me as Gigi. I’m a Meredith student who gives other students advice when they write to me about their personal problems. Most students contact me by placing their '' anonymous letters in a black, plastic box that says “Ask Gigi”; the box is lo cated in Johnson Hail. Each week I publish one answered letter in the Mer- ^ ijedith Herald, and the next one could be yours. I look forward to hearing from ' |:you again! ’ / Yours truly, Gigi MEREDITH AVSMiDfB flXBELB 8. The fast food frenzy never ends. Let’s face it: Most guys hate to cook. Therefore, be prepared to eat in the Atrium between classes, the Wolves’ Den when a round of video games or table tennis is in order, or Bojangles’ on game day. 9. Parking is a pain. If you think parking at Meredith is a torturous experience, wait until you deal with the parallel spaces, decks, and meters at State. To save you grief (and possibly a $40 ticket), let your boyfriend be a gentleman and pick you up. 10. Contrary to popular belief, State boys major in topics besides engineering. Looking for a study partner or a dinner date who actually understands Logos courtesy of Meredith College and NCSU via Google Images your passion for business, English, or music? According to the University’s Web site; http://www.ncsu.edu/. State has approximately 31,000 students. There is bound to be someone who shares your love for corporate finance.
