Mostly As: Carman Flooding

Mostly Bs: EC Pipe Bursting

You’re artsy, passionate, and always ready for the start of a new endeavor. While you can definitely be a little much sometimes, your explosive creativity makes you an overflowing presence on campus. 

Mostly Cs: Lerner Evacuation

You’re terminally online. Touch grass. 

Mostly Ds: Riverbank Trash Fire 

You’re a little bit of a mess, but always come in clutch with great underrated tastes. While you might be overshadowed sometimes by your peers, you’re perfectly happy to be the eccentric one. 

Mostly Es: Butler Library Evacuation 

You might be a little bit basic, vanilla, and lacking in style, but you’re always there when you’re most needed—just like Butler Library. While you might not be the flashiest or most impactful on this list, you can still be disruptive when you need to be.
