<p>" ...you don't know who is the bigger school namesake: George Washington or Chancellor Danforth.</p>

<p>...most of your Wash. U. apparel consists of free shirts, because the sweatshirts at the bookstore are too damn expensive.</p>

<p>...more salt ends up on the ground than actual snow.</p>

<p>...you wake up to the sounds of construction</p>

<p>...you know you will never get a snow day.</p>

<p>...Uggs are seen all year round.</p>

<p>...you think the Loops is what a "real college town" is like.</p>

<p>...your freshman dorm has been demolished, or is at least slated for destruction.</p>

<p>...there are more prospective freshman on campus in the spring than actual students.</p>

<p>...the typical weather is rainy, with a chance of sun and possible earthquakes and maybe tornadoes."</p>

<p>. . . even your crazy helicopter parents are thrilled with the Wash U website which has the answers to the most obsessively detailed questions relating to all aspects of college life, which have already been posed (and answered in exhaustive and patient detail) by OTHER even crazier helicopter parents.</p>
