10 Thoughts You Might Have Leaving Your Freshman Year Of College, As Told By The Office
Odyssey

Fact: having to leave your freshman year memories behind as you pack up you dorm, say goodbye to your out-of-state friends and leave your college campus for three months is disappointing. The end of the school year is always chaotic and often resembles the episode of Stress Relief where Dwight's too-realistic fire alarm gives Stanley a heart attack.

Without further ado, here are some things you may experience your final days as a freshman and some thoughts you might have running through your head throughout the last few moments of freshman year the way Michael Scott runs from his responsibilities.


1. Your dorm building on the last day to check out will be the most chaotic you've ever seen it.


Every elevator is full, the parking lot is packed and you'll start to realize you totally underestimated how much stuff you actually have packed in that tiny room. It'll truly be a workout getting all your stuff out before you get that late check-out fee.

2. While moving out, this might be you after you realize Command hooks and strips actually do cause damage from time to time and wonder how you're going to pay for damage fees.

3. You'll probably dread saying goodbye to the out-of-state friends you made as you won't see them until August.

4. You might feel like Kelly when you do better than you thought on a final exam you thought you would bomb.

5. ...Or you might feel like Michael when you fail an exam you thought you would totally ace.

Yikes. Don't cry because it happened, smile because it's over.

6. LDOC will be a celebration of the last essays, exams, lab reports or online homework assignments you'll ever have to complete...


...Until next semester, at least.

7. You realize you were too busy with schoolwork to work on getting you bikini summer bod.

Hopefully you can get back in shape in, like, a week in time for summer vacation.

8. When thinking of coming back to your hometown for three months, you're nervous to see how much has changed while you were gone.

You might even feel a tad estranged, but don't forget that that's totally okay.

9. As happy as you are to be done with schoolwork, you might feel lapses of sadness on your final days of your first year.

10. As you finally check out of your dorm and leave campus for good, you'll wonder where all the time had gone.

I remember thinking back to all the memorable experiences made this past year as I handed over my dorm keys and walked out for good, knowing I won't ever be able to relive the moments of this year ever again. Andrew Bernard encapsulates my feelings perfectly.

So as you leave freshman year, remember that a whole new set of experiences awaits in your future and never forget to cherish the friendships and memories you made throughout one of your most vital years of freedom, youth and coming of age.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
