brazilian public university things (bc i miss going to campus)
- daily coffee + pão de queijo combos that are cheaper than if you buy the exact same separated
- measuring how expensive something is by the prices of coxinha and xerox
- literally running for lunch as soon as class ends to get breaded chicken and fries before it's gone
- literally running for every class bc the campus is huge
- buying t-shirts themed with your major from the student council and wearing them to go to the bakery
- random barbecues at classmates and veterans houses, specially if they live near the beach and/or have a pool at home
- singing to vagalumes by pollo every time there's a field class
- singing to baby by justin bieber out of nowhere for absolutely no reason
- singing to evidências by chitãozinho e xororó and alma gêmea by fábio júnior for the nostalgia (although it started as a meme)
- projecting world cup soccer games on the wall, sometimes in the middle of a class
- "the year only really starts after carnival" is an almost agreement between students and professors
- festa junina and halloween
- "isn't there a holiday next thursday?" "only on the other city" "damn"
- "there's a holiday next week? why?" "idk, some patroness day or something"
- "does anyone know how to turn the projector on?" "just tap the big 'on/off' button, professor"
- checking how much each professor gets for wage on transparency portal while procrastinating
- skipping class killing time at a professor's room chatting and drinking coffee (bonus point if they also have candy in their room) (another bonus point if you find there's another professor the both of you don't like)
- complaining about the government
- complaining about the educational system
- complaining about the public system but getting defensive as soon as anyone from a private school and/or upper-middle/upper class says anything about it
- dealing with your family saying you got brainwashed for caring about politics
- professors supporting and encouraging students to go protesting for their rights
- multiples strikes throughout the year
- worrying about not graduating in time but then realizing there are veterans that have been there for eight years already
- professors assuring students it's okay to fail and completely normal too
- managing to get to campus besides the insane rain and traffic jam, even if half an hour or more late, only to get all classes of the day canceled five minutes later
- professors are either always on time and start class even if no one really arrived yet or always extremely late but still wait until everyone arrived, no in between
- professors going to random mandatory one week long vacations in the middle of the semester bc it accumulated and now they're obligated to go
- maionese temperada
- "WHAT DO YOU MEAN A COXINHA IS FOUR REAIS??? IT WAS R$2.50 LAST SEMESTER"
- "wait, wasn't the bus ticket R$3.75 last week?" "yeah, it got raised" "again??"
- professor: "in this class we'll be using this very specific book that is extremely expensive and the campus' library has only three copies even though you are in 30" student a: "so who's gonna xerox it?" student b: "no need, just found the pdf on google"
- turning the air conditioner on even on cold days bc you never know when it'll stop working again
- that one professor that for some reason is friends with tons of politicians and is basically the reason why the campus hasn't gone completely out of resources yet
- there's always at least one class reserved to projects and smells like w3ed
