Hilltern 

(Noun) Hilltern: an undergrad that interns on Capitol Hill. Easily recognized by their backpack and suit combination and air of supremacy tangible from a mile away. The Hilltern is a sexually voracious species- when two rats are placed in the same room for a prolonged period of time, they attempt o procreate. This is known as the Hilltern Principle (Everybody, 2015). Hilltern behavioral patterns include: standing on the left side on escalators, whining about metro delays, wearing a suit every day to class even though said intern is not interning that day, mentioning their future presidency and dad's money, and contributing nothing of value to society.

How to approach a Hilltern:

The Hilltern is not a fearless creature and is easily frightened by other Hillterns with a more desirable position, and is also easily frightened by loud noises. They will scurry away at the smallest threat. Threat level: 0.
"Being a Hilltern is great. I get to work on Capitol Hill and contribute to society. I'm really learning a lot at my internship on the Hill."
"You play on your phone the whole day. You literally do nothing."
"Did I mention I intern on the Hill?"

Hilltopping 

Drinking at a completely inappropriate time or in an innappropriate place, such as during class, at a funeral, in the library, during a sports match (if you are playing) nine in the morning during finals week.
This term is a reference to the Denison University Hilltoppers, the men's acappella group (who are notorious for drinking in innapropriate occasions), but honestly a good percentage of the campus is equally guilty. Plus, we love them so, so it's okay. Sort of.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
