Maastricht University 

In a few words: International university, Germany central, nerds central, dutch frat guys central, PBL method, bikes infested.
The only university capable of driving its students into nerds. Even the hopeless ones.

No matter where Maastricht Uni students have studied before/afterwards, UM will always remain the hardest one for them.

Sexual frustration is generally associated with the Maastricht Syndrome.
I only started studying here 3 weeks ago and one can already detect first symptoms of the Maastricht Syndrome!

Don´t worry it´s not about you, it´s the Maastricht Syndrome. Try your luck somewhere else.

The good thing about the Maastricht Syndrome is that I don´t suffer from sexually tranmitted infections!

Maastricht University 

aka Bullshit University, located in Maastricht, The Netherlands, but infested by Germans. The only university where, even if you ace an exam, you can still fail the entire course because you skipped ONE lesson. At UM, life just plain sucks and weed, Ritalin and vodka are the only way to get through it all. UM attracts tons of international students (all thanks to some marketing bullshit), especially Germans who for some reason think it's some sort of European Harvard. Everyone in Maastricht is either a psychopath, a junkie or depressed. To add insult to injury, moving to Maastricht also causes you to get Maastricht Syndrome.
Not to mention that everyone who works at UM believes they're in the best uni on earth, even though UM actually ranks pretty bad among the 'good' uni's in Europe
"I skipped 2 out of 20 tutorials and now I have to do a 60 page essay course assignment within 3 days, otherwise I'll have to graduate a year later. Maastricht University is such a fucking nightmare."

"Goddammit, how come the Germans at Maastricht University always get such high grades while everyone else is struggling so much?? Oh wait I know! They're all psychopaths!"
"If you say Maastricht University backwards three times while looking into a mirror, you'll be exempted from all resits."

UWC Maastricht 

"Bro, I went to UWC Maastricht. It was a cool experience!"

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
