University of Ottawa 

A bilingual university in the capital city of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario. Commonly mistaken with Ottawa University in Ottawa, Kansas by rival school Carleton University.

Much better school with a higher admission average than Carleton University. Actually has a football team, Law School, and Medical School, unlike Carleton.

Nice campus in a central, downtown location on most main bus routes within the city. Within walking distance to the Rideau Centre, Byward Market, Parliament Hill, Spark Street Mall and most tourist locations in the city.

Colours are Garnet and Grey, which lead to the choosing of their mascot, the noble Gee Gee. The Gee-Gee, which is the first horse out of the gate in a race, was adopted as the University of Ottawa brand initially to appeal to both the anglophone and francophone student populations. Since the initials “GG” can be used to describe the school colours, garnet and grey, in both languages, the nickname stuck.

University of Ottawa 

A university in Ottawa, Canada, where all the pretentious kids go. Unlike its rival, Carleton University, it has no green space, an overrated French program, and a terrible engineering faculty.
You go to the University of Ottawa? Interesting, I am also a boring person.

university of ottawa vs. carleton rival chants 

Being located in the same city, it is natural that the University of Ottawa and Carleton have become rival schools. Here are examples of chants heard on the University of Ottawa campus during frosh week (also known as 101 week):
university of ottawa vs. carleton rival chants:
If I had the wings of a sparrow,
If I had the wings of a crow,
I'd fly over Carleton tomorrow,
and shit on those bastards below, below!
shit on, shit on, shit on those bastards below, below
shit on, shit on, shit on those bastards below

or

I'm an asshole,
I'm an asshole,
I'm an asshole through and through,
but i'd rather be an asshole than to go to Carleton U

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
