U Know U Go To a HBCU When..
I saw this list on a friend's Facebook page. I didn't know what half of it was talking about, but I could definitely relate to the items I listed here. All of these items I have seen first hand. Though they may seem off the wall to you, I have seen them with my very own eyeballs at Clark Atlanta University.

Hilarious post, I agree with just about ALL. Especially @ # Popcorn, french fries, Hot Pockets & Ramen Noodles were special gourmet items in your dorm room (I sold fully seasoned Ramen Noodles & delivered them to your room for $1.75)
Til this day, people are surprised that I love Ramen Noodles - I ate them for an entire three semesters (didn't graduate) and I would've love to have someone cook and deliver them for me. Great idea, BTW.
People showed up at the football games just to see the halftime show & left I went to a homecoming football game this weekend (Jackson State University - Sonic Boom vs Southern's arrogant marching band) and actually wrote a blog post about the Marching Band Experience. I probably post it this weekend.
I really enjoyed this post.
Before all things, I am about my business. Out of my dorm I ran: a beauty salon (all i could do were perms & wraps), an illegal snack shop, a Mary Kay business & a roman noodle empire.
Can't wait to read your band blog. The Mighty Marching Panthers used to be a force to be reckoned with!
