Viral website Buzzfeed is known for offbeat lists featuring cute animals and celebrity gossip. Now, thanks to editorial assistant and recent University of Michigan graduate Emily Orley, the site has a list that showcases some of the top shared experiences of Michigan students and alumni. The list leans heavily on sports, food, and alcohol to identify key aspects of the Michigan experience.

As of Friday afternoon, the post had been shared more than 4,000 times on Facebook and viewed 100,000 times. That's just a few thousand short of the number it takes to fill the Big House, which topped the list as a “house that you share with 114,804 of your closest friends.”

Orley did not shy away from confrontation with the next two items on the list, digs at a certain “little brother” and coaches from “Ohio.” Other notable Ann Arbor landmarks making the list include Angelo’s, “where you’d love to have breakfast every morning,” Blimpy Burger, and Thursday night spot Rick’s American Cafe.

#1: If you're pick-up line to the ladies goes something like this...."I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important. I went to U of M. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany." ......and then you continue to mention the fact that you went to U of M 15-more times within the first 3-minutes of conversation.
