Virumaa College freshman's vow
I, a first-year student at Virumaa College, do solemnly swear in the presence of all
respect the teachers, support fellow students, and love our College;
adore a subject the way my lecturer does;
accept all the knowledge offered to me;
do not arbitrarily occupy a lecturer's chair in the canteen, auditorium and lab while studying;
let yourself be infected by the college spirit germ and spread it outwards!
If I don't keep that vow, then
I'll stand next to the Director's office for 15 minutes every big break under the clock;
I'll be cleaning floors in College for a month;
I will get stuck in the elevator;
I will lose my parking space;
I will become Julius!
I swear! I swear! I swear!
