The college with a bunch of USC and UCLA rejects. The only bright side about this college is that is a very affordable and cheap way to get a bachelors degree. The student body is comprised of mostly people that live in the, “valley.” NOT

a college to live the, “life of the party.” Barely any good looking girls/guys exist in this school. There’s a ton of better colleges with waaay better culture/nightlife out there ladies and gentleman...
Random person: so, how’s college? I bet you’re living the life of the party at CSUN dude.

CSUN student: no way is CSUN a college where there’s tons of parties or hot chicks/guys. Fuck dude. I should’ve transferred somewhere else. Shiiit.

California State University Northridge. A place that is a perfect example of what grades 13-16 would be like. A half a step up from a community college.
I didn't get in to Long Beach State or San Diego State, but I got into CSUN!
Cool it'll just be like high school!

A California State University in Northridge that pumps out extremely low quality engineers to government workforce. The engineering school is known for hiring low quality engineering professors, whom care more about spending their time fighting the CSU for higher salary than focusing on improving their teaching materials. Engineering students are generally guaranteed 3.+ GPA (equivalent to 1.0 from UC system) coming out of that school, if they don't drop out by their 2nd or 3rd years.
Stacy: Excuse me Professor T., now that I graduated from CSUN with an engineering degree. Can you recommend me some company where I can make decent living?

Prof T: Apply for a government job. Most of our students tend to do well there. I hear that they don't interview. If you can breath, you're guarantee a job.

Stacy: Ok. I'll apply there and will pass this on to my other CSUN friends.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
