Noodles, almost ready in the Old Capitol Mall!
Caitlin Scott and Perri Mayer
… you’ve been seriously struggling to get back into work mode since Spring Break. Also, it doesn’t help that this warm weather is letting us dress like we’re still in Florida.
… you’re proud of our basketball team for making it to the big one this year: the NIT. GO HAWKS!
… you’ve contemplated breaking into the soon-to-be-open Noodles & Company to see if they’re stashing some of those famous noodles behind the counter. Hit me with some udon, ASAP!
… you’re stoked about The Hunger Games movie, especially after you’ve been seeing the commercials for months. That whistling tune at the end will get you every time.
.. you love The Hook Up’s fly new setup!

…your excitement is overwhelming because you cannot wait to see Timeflies at Blue Moose this weekend. Keep an eye out for a Hook Up exclusive!
…you sincerely think George Washington would have liked us to have school off on Monday in honor of his birthday. However, as well all know, we do not. Thanks.
…you’ve been much more productive and less entertained now that the UI Memes page has been shut down. And no, this does not mean we don’t care about the world, Daily Iowan. 
…you will not be shocked if next year they change the Grammy Awards to the Adele Awards. #RIPWhitneyHouston
…your mouth waters every time you walk past the soon-to-be home of Noodles & Company. Open sooner pleeeeease.

…you kick yourself when you see all the hype and excitement of Dance Marathon, and promise yourself you’ll sign up for next year!
…you’re pretty glad Punxsutawney Phil the groundhog saw his shadow. Six more weeks of this “winter?” I’ll take it!
…you’re also still baffled that people celebrate Groundhog’s Day. 
…you have little desire to tune in to this year’s Super Bowl. Why would you? The ads are already online! Check them out here!
…after receiving Thursday’s HawkAlert, you kept an eye out for every old, bearded hipster on your walk home from class.

…even though you’re from the Midwest and thus spent your last week at home in bad weather, the walk to class in the snow on Tuesday was still miserable!
…you are counting down the days until Timeflies finally hits up Iowa City. Round of scotch anyone?!

…you’ve been amazed at how professors can always find something to make you do the week before finals. Dead week? Yeah, right!

…after watching the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, you wished for the hundredth time that you could be an angel. (Or date an angel, right fellas?)
…you are proud to be a UI student. Can we get a round of applause for our very own Zach Wahls please? His video went viral last year and it’s making a Facebook comeback this year. Check it out here if you haven’t yet!
…If you follow E! News on Twitter and the only “news” you’ve seen is the continuing battle between Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. Guess that’s what happens when you try and break up after 72 days?
…after hearing about Ashton Kutcher’s downtown escapades, you regret going home for your much anticipated turkey dinner. Check out one Hook Upper’s very own hilarious Ashton experience here!

…when you got the HawkAlert about the armed man on campus, you locked your door and booked it to the nearest window. Man walking on the street? Obviously the alleged suspect.
…all you want to do is get home for some of that turkey dinner. Don’t you wish homework was still tracing your hand and coloring a turkey?! But alas, welcome to college.
…your daily study visits to the IMU and library have turned into regular Stumble-fests. WTF? Since when am I interested in owls?!
…you’ve been afraid to open your Facebook all week because of the WEIRD spam that’s been going around. Justin Bieber did what?! CNN says Facebook is working on it!
…you wish it would rain Febreze every time you walk by the gingko trees in the Pentacrest.
HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

…you live on the east side of campus and plan to register for classes located in Van Allen, Seashore and Phillips. That walk can be brutal.

…your brother’s bet of 34 days beat your “they will be together forever” mentality on Kim’s marriage. Should’ve stayed with Reggie, Kim!
…you planned your Halloween costume(s) for 3+ weeks. And what a hit they were! Now, if only this motivation would last through oh, say, finals week?

…you are shocked that Christmas decorations have already appeared. It’s not even Thanksgiving yet people! Hey, we’re all for “‘tis the season…” when it’s actually the season! (Note: this does not apply to the Starbucks Christmas cup. You can stay).
…you don’t understand Iowa weather. Leave for 8:00 a.m.’s when it’s 35° and walk back in the 70s. Bipolar much?

CaityPerri’s You’re Not Alone If…
…you go to the Rec and stay on your elliptical just long enough to see the last half hour of Real Housewives, then call it a day–but still treat yourself to a Hawaiian Breeze on the way out. It’s not your fault they strategically placed the smoothies right by the door.
…you still don’t understand why they call Cheap & Chic “cheap.” ‘Nuff said.
…you have become Yotopia’s most valued customer since they opened. Reassuring low-fat yogurt signs? Is that fruit I see? Healthy, no?!
…you reach into your pocket and pull out bobby pins, a gum wrapper, basically every form of change imaginable (including a Euro from when you were abroad last summer), but no quarters! Damn laundry.
…you exhausted every swear word in your statuses about the new Facebook last week, but hardly notice it anymore. Except for the new white photo background… Whose genius idea was that?! Not pleased, Mr. Zuckerberg.
