20. You refer to your freshman year as "living in the hood." 19. It still frustrates you that Otto's could do a better job of attracting a band, than the University could. 18. People at work refer to you as "the one with a personality." 17. The only "NIU Gear" that you own are "Molly's Rail Shirts." 16. It still boggles your mind that they constructed a huge phallic-like building on campus, then named it the HOLMES Student Center.
