10 ways to know if you fit into Forester culture
Being part of the Forester community could be really exciting, challenging, and maybe wacky. If you belong to this tight-knit network of college students trying to succeed in senior year, you might have done a couple of these things. Check the following list and discover how much you fit into the pop culture at Lake Forest College.
1 You have experienced the deliciousness of Ruben’s omelets. Yes. They are a completely new experience! You would wake up earlier than usual, just to stand in the line for one of his delicious omelets. He will prepare it the way you like it and would greet you with a smile. Best way to start your day, right?
2 You have joined the squirrel dialogue. Admit it. You can’t avoid staring at the small and cute squirrels as they pass by you on the way to class. Don’t worry, yaking about them is pretty irresistible, too.
3 Forester Net. Wait, is my wifi not switched on? Oh, it’s Forester Net. At least once you have been mad at Forester Net, because interrupted Netflix doesn’t really mean Netflix and chill.
4 You shorten the names of almost every place on campus. That’s right. The lib, the caf, pub safe, and the P.O.D. They all have short names you use frequently. Did you know P.O.D. stands for Provisions On Demand? Mind-blowing!
5 Boomer The Bear. You have taken at least one selfie with Boomer The Bear and wondered who the mysterious person inside the fluffy suit is.

6 You’ve had drinks from the lib café. Whether it’s staying up late and craving something sweet or waking up early and drinking some coffee, you’ve tried at least one drink from Java City. Is it pumpkin spice latte time yet?
7 You probably need a flex daddy or a flex mama. Late night cravings have kicked in, so you head over to the P.O.D. knowing that it closes at 2:00 a.m., you buy two things and realize that you have only $10 left!
8 Toilet paper. You have complained, even mentally, about how expensive tuition is and how terrible the quality of the toilet paper is.
9 Chicken nuggets. Wait, what? Is today nuggets day? You have experienced the excitement over chicken nuggets in the caf.
10 Aramark. You most probably have complained, at least once this week, about the quality of the food. Yet, you will still eat it. There are ways to eat a decent meal in the caf and P.O.D. Trust me. It’s all about finding the right combination.
