Ahhh, Freshmen Year... Here Are 10 Things I Learned That I'll Carry With Me The Next Three

In This Article:

Thanks, freshman year, it's been real.

1. Go Greek

Go Greek!!! You will meet so many new girlfriends your first month!

2. Limit your going out

I get it. AGR has Thursday nights, Lambda has wine Wednesdays, and every other frat has parties Friday and Saturday night, but give your liver some time to rest.

3. Talk to the people on your floor

This will make floor meetings less miserable and every other floor thing. Just do it.

4. Spend some weekends here in MHK

I get it, going home to see your dog and eat your mom's cooking is the best, but some of your best friends will be made unexpectedly here.

5. Just do it

Go on the late night Walmart run, order Pizza Shuttle, and eat the ice cream in The Derb.

6. The frat party bathroom line is THE PLACE to be

Boost your self-confidence and make a new Snapchat friend at the same time. The bathrooms — horrible, but the memories - great.

7. The freshmen 15 is not a joke

Even if Becky tells you its a lie, it is indeed not!! The Derb dessert table will come back and haunt you along with the Union's Chick-Fil-A.

8. Your friend group will change

The people you were friends with at the beginning of the year, probably won't be the same people you're friends with half way through, but that's totally OK.

9. Don't take an 8 a.m.

You will regret it every Thursday morning after a wine Wednesday, every winter morning when it's too cold to walk across campus, and generally, every day you have to wake up early. Trust me.

10. Check, double check, triple check, and quadruple check your final times

Honestly, trust me on this one. A 0/50 on your final and an unsympathetic professor suck. Check the time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
