wvu in front of the mountain lair
apparently a lot has changed since i graduated with my accounting degree back in 2005.
somethings i have noticed since being on campus:
- return of 'kids' smoking... what's is this about?! seriously, i have never seen SO many college kids smoking. did this suddenly become cool and i'm just now hearing about it??
- what happened to all of the starbucks cups and kids drinking coffee? when i was in college everyone used drink coffee and always had a coffee cup attached to them (what seemed like permanently).
- one last thing... what's up with the 80s style side ponytails?! i guess that's now fashionable as well?!
being a "non-trad" aka a non-traditional student, i'm SO outta the game. :)

while i am not a fan of smoking (and AM a fan of coffee) i must admit that I do rock the side ponytail on regular basis. but always a low side pony...those high ones are just too much!
yes, i'm personally trying to bring back the coffee cup. :) and i do love me some low side ponytails, however what' i'm noticing is the higher 80s style.... what's up with that?! :)
Melita, I hope you love being back even while being non-traditional! Yes, the side-80s ponytails are back, often paired up with jeggins. Thankfully, being a grad student and child of the 80s allows me to get away with not having that style. And definitely bring back the coffee! While I can tell you, that even though there is a Starbucks right across from the School of Ed where my dept is located, you won't always find me with a Starbucks cup. But, that is because my office has a Keurig! Woo! Free coffee for me!
Working in a university I also notice the changing trends (and the differences from when i was a student). What do people drink now if coffee is not in vogue?! Good luck with your studies x
Congrats on your return to school! And yes, I am saddened that the coffee cup trend has died. Maybe you'll resurrect it?
Just started grad school here and noticed the coffee thing too...I think it's just WVU because where I went to college we were all chugging as much coffee as we could when we could. Weird--thought my mind was just playing tricks on me!
Anyway, found your blog because I'm a fellow foodie from a much bigger city and feeling like I'm dying inside living in Morgantown. Also, how does someone older than 18-21 meet people in this town? Everyone seems so...young. =(
brittany - when i was at wvu for undergrad there were definitely waaay more coffee drinking going on. strange... we will have to meet up sometime and i can give you the highlights of the best places to eat in motown. send me an email. :)
that sounds fun! =)
