Our Top Reasons Why Syracuse is ACTUALLY The Best

The Miz Factor's Tribute To Cuse: Why Cuse Is The BEST...And What You Missed Out On If Ya Didn't Go...

SO just in case you've been living under a rock, Cuse was recently named the #1 party school. So, in light of all the Syracuse press last week, I have decided to jump on the band wagon with all these other sites with MY little list of why Cuse is sooo great. And yes, while Cuse may have been named the top party school in the country, don't get it twisteddd - with one of the BEST college news papers in the country, (second to Yale), top communications, television, radio, #Newhouse, and dramatic arts programs, as well as being recognized for having THE BEST grad school for public affairs #Maxwell, Cuse is certainly #WorkHardPlayHard. Anyways, from a first person perspective obv, here are my top reasons why Cuse is just #1 over all...


DA SPORTZZ 
A lot of sites are saying that our sports-enthused student body is like, the main reason why we won our #1 title, and I mean sure our sportz atmosphere rocks, like it's INSANE and yeah, you've haven't been to a college bball game until you've been to the dome and cheered on your school with 30,000 other people...that's like about as many people that fill a stadium for a Bey and Jay concert...basically a Cuse basketball game IS the Bey and Jay of college basketball. And now that we're in the ACC it's even more aggress. WATCH OUT.

But, we also won the title for a slew other reasons like...


THE SCHOOL SPIRIT 
I mean the sports ties in with the school spirit, but like even when we're not cheering on Cuse or watching a game, Cuse people freakin LOVE Cuse. Like, if you're walking down the streets of NYC and you see a girl with a Cuse water bottle...you're immediately best frandz. Cuse alum and fans like reppin Cuse from NYC to LA to DC, Cuse peeps love other Cuse people. You just bleed orange for life.

THE CELEBZ
Like, even random celebs just love reppin Cuse...

Celebs Reppin

Like, a carrier dome vintage tee?! like where did she get that?  

Classic Summer Roberts. So trendy.

And then we have our fair share of Celeb alum...

Taye Diggs
Aaron Sorkin
Vera Fariega
Bob Costas
Dick Clark
Joe Biden
Vanessa Williams
Carmelo...

 ...Obv most of these people are in the entertainment industry due to Cuse's amaze communications, television, and dramatic arts programs...BUT kudos to Biden for being political. Oh and Carmelo. Yay sports.

THE PEOPLE 
Such and eclectic well rounded group of artists, fashion designers, business, television and film, theatre, science, humanities, etc. I got into Syracuse originally for art and design and one of the reasons why I decided to go to Cuse was because of the blend of all the different majors. There are also SO many different types of personalities, a lot of diversity, got some international chicness, and everyone is pretty freaking real. Prob cause we've got a vast population for NJ, NYC, New England, etc, but we also have a slew of Westcoast kids most hailing from LA. I love the blend of Eastcoast-Westcoast kids, which of course makes for great campus fashion...


SYRACUSE SWAG
Don't let the Betsy Johnson alum thang fool you...lulz. There were some pretty trendy peeps at Cuse. If there was a list of fashionable schools in America cause Cuse would DEF make an appearance. I mean, I'd like to think I've always been likee pretty fashionable (ha..), but my style and my individual style grew SO much more at Cuse because I was actually constantly inspired by my peers and just like everyone...

THE CONCERTS
Cuse is known for having some of the MOST amazeee campus concerts. People flock from like whatever schools to Cuse's south campus for Juice Jam every September, which is literally Cuse's mini music festival, and then Mayfest in the spring. But throughout the year also, a lot of artists just come hang. In the past 4 years, all these artists dropped by Cuse...#sup

Passion Pit, Girl TalK, B.o.B, DRAKE, Kid Cudi, Damien Marley, Avicii, Wiz Khalifa, J. Cole, Calvin Harris, Tiesto, Dada Life, Mackelmore, Rehab, Pretty Lights, Nicky Ramero, A$AP Ferg, Zedd, and Kendrick Lamar. Yeah, casual. 

THE THEMED PARTIES

 

 

 

 

A picture is worth 1000 words. Need I say more?


 FRAT ROW/GREEK LYFE

 

Our DKE > Your DKE...it's a legit CASTLE tho...

La Delta's Pillars...I'll refrain from making a life was "iller" behind the pillars joke, OH...too late. But like, it was so...

THE WEATHER
Yup, I said it. People who don't or didn't go to cuse are SO annoying because they're always like, yeah I hear Cuse is fun, but didn't it suck cause of the weather? Like didn't it snow ALL the time? Isn't that like SO miz? Literally....

Can I just say that sun rarely shines in Londontown and it is one of the best cities in the world. SO, like don't question our cloudy and yes, often frigid weather. BUT whether there's

A blizzard...

(which is why there's ZBTahiti...lolz)

Or that occasional yet so appreciated sunny day...

WE DON"T GIVE A FOOK. Rain, shine, or stormy weather, doesn't matter, if anything all the crazy weather means we party better. (mehhh a rhyme HA)


CASTLE  

Rain...

Or Shine...



Castle Court aka the king of college tailgates.

Beyonce Is #Flawless.

"Of Course ShIZzz Is GoNnA Go Down When There Is A BILLION Dollars On An Elevator"#Flawless. Queen Bey Shuts Down Split Up Rumors...

yeah...they woke up like this

Welp, the Queen has done it again. She has once again surprised with greatness, and by greatness I meannnn dropping another single without a PEEP. Not to mention it's every galzz FAV song...#Flawless.  On Saturday, Queen Bey decided drop a remix of her hit song and include DIVA Nickiii MINAJJJ. YES SIR: "The Queen of Rap slayinn wit Queen Bey!" BOOYAH. Love that. The Diva duo does it UP for this amazeee remix, but while we all enjoy  singing "I WOKE UP LIKE DIS," and posing with really aggressive diva hand jesters, you gotta listen to the other song lyrics juuuust a little bit. AKA when Bey makes it known not once, but twice that: "OF COURSE SOMETIME SHIT GOES DOWN WHEN THERE'S A BILLION DOLLARS ON AN ELEVATOR." Yeah. I mean, sure. I'm pretty sure ya didn't miss that part...(and if you did well, well you need to listen to that like 100 more times). Basically, this cleverly produced single is that Bey statement we've all been waiting for about the elevator incident that happened OH soo long ago (but like, not that long ago). Like, long enough ago to forget that that was the incident that started the whole Jay Z cheating rumors, but NOT long enough ago to forget that Solange litterally went rouge on Jay'z ass...in an elevator...like that DID happen.

On another note, aside from Beyonce's release of her new remix, there have been SO many rumors about her and HOVA's relationship. You know, are the two getting a divorce? Was their concert just another performance? And then there have been all these rumors about Beyonce looking for apartments solo in NYC, which of course had people question the status of their marriage further. Yada yada yada. There's a lot going on right now and a lot of things we most likely DO NOT know, but we do know that a few days ago, Bey instagramed this DARLING and I mean sooo cute and SO nugget pic of Jay and holding baby, I mean Princess Blue, on the beach with the caption: "My favorite hue is JayzBlue."

Aww. Mine too.  OR Beyonce Blue...#BeyonceAnything

Really, Beyonce is right, I mean if her and Jay DO get divorced, that's a lot of money stake. Like can we keep the billion dollars on the elevator without it going down? Black people need another black billionaires to look up too besides Oprah...just saying.

Bachelor Final Rose Recap

Bachelor Final Rose Recap: So Andi, Became The Bachelorette, Traveled Around The World, Hooked-Up W/ Hot Guys From ALL OVER The Nation Annnnd Ended Up With A Guy Who Lives Down The Street From Her?!!! OH....

 

 

SO, Nick is MIZ. Bottom line. Theme throughout the whole final rose episode. 

When Andi broke up with guy, he barely even cried cause I think he was SO miz. He did however  dramatically throw away his first impression rose away like OH that he STILL had, #creepy. But it's like don't worry Nick, look at it this way, Andi has to spend her whole life married to Josh and talking about baseball...and just like SPORTZZZZ 24/7!!! Like, no thanks. He's hot, but that would kill me. Like your first love should NOT be your baseball bat...

Nick was so depressed. SO much such that Chris Harrison described his stalker-like depression as: "The likes of which we've never seen on this show..." Ekkkkkk DUURAAHHMA. I mean I CALLED IT PEOPLE! NICKS LETTER!! God Nick. You got it bad like, Usher ballad bad. Stop trying to contact Andi likeee its scary. I would legit have been scared if I was her.

"I think josh is a bad fit for Andi" -- Nick. I mean, well sure.

OBV Josh is a CUSE fan...#basic

Anyways, turning tables to JOSH,  we all knew Andi was gonna pick him. Like she said she has always gone for athlete type and they've always been her mistake...HA well good job Andi! Athlete type round 2...hopefully he plays a better half than the rest of the former athlete losers you've dated...(lolz relationship sportz references - ball's in HIS court, or should we say field?)

So, when Josh gave his SUPER rehearsed and we mean monologue rehearsed love speech to Andi, he OBV mention his "first love - baseball" FIRST. LIKE FIRST. Are you KIDDING ME?! Andi is gonna go to bed at night and find a baseball bat in their bed in HER place. HEYY BATTER, BATTER, SWING!

So I guess, even though Josh's speech sounded again SUPER rehearsed, they seem to I guess really love each other? I mean they would NOT stop kissing sooooo...all those aggressive little pecks? Yuck. Not about that life, but thanks for sharing. Oh well, the one thing they DO have is that they look great together....like they def would have great looking babies. So, that's also something.

Side note:  Out of all of Andi's dresses that she wore she HAD to wear that ONE in the finale! I'm sorry, she just wore SO many better ones throughout the season, I wasn't a fan. So miz.

Let's fast forward to the FUN AWKWARDNESS WITH NICK! YAY! 

The whole thing with Nick was like cringe worthy. I could NOT. Likee ehhhh, SO awk. You just kept wanting it to end!!! And the Nick was all putting Andi on the spot...yikes. ALSO NICK SPILLED THE BEANS ABOUR SEX A LA FANATSY SUITE. Like I had to rewind what he said to her!
He LIT said: "I just...I don't why you made love to me?" AHHHHh!! And Andi got SO awk, as she should have been,  and was like UMM OKAY NICK that should have been private.

LIKE WAS NICK A VIRGIN?!  I'm pretty sure it was a virgini that's the only explanation for Nick being Like he's SOOO attached to her. It was def sex thing for Andi I think. Lol. I mean, she chose Josh like after le sex with him. I just know it! Oh, and I guess cause Josh isn't a stalker. But, she def bitched Nick out during the commercial break about it...cause like, who does that?

But all in all, Andi looked great! I liked her white, lace dress...wedding implication perhaps? LOLzzz. I'm just excited cause Andi's name after they get hitched is gonna be Andi Murray...like the tennis playerr!! LOL. (Love him). WHICH Josh pointed out earlier on the show...but he OBV had NO idea why "Andi Murray", and I quote, "Had a great ring to it..." #Idiot.


 


But, hey,  according to Josh: "The show works!" Yup. Just like it's match.com or something. Thanks
Josh.
