11 Essential Experiences Of SUNY Delhi Freshmen
SUNY Delhi

Everyone at SUNY Delhi has experienced at least one thing on this list. Some of these things might seem undesirable, but it is all apart of the college experience and helps us grow! For the incoming Freshmen: this is a sneak peak; and for the rest of us, a walk down memory lane!

1. The Freshman 15

All of your relatives warn you about it, but you think it's just a myth. Trust me: the Freshman 15 is real, very real. So be warned!

2. MAC ATTACK!

Welcome to Mac Dining, where everything you eat is going to leave your body twice as fast. Everyone at Delhi has heard, felt, or smelled the wrath of Mac Attack.

3. RA Troubles

Violating quiet hours? Drinking on campus? Lighting a candle in your room? Everyone gets caught for something. While the first time your RA writes you up is going to feel like the end of the world—trust me, I promise you will be ok.

4. First Frat Party

The first Friday of the semester, all of the Freshmen pile their way into a fraternity's basement. Just remember to be safe and have fun!

5. Being Bronco Broke :(

The crushing realization that you have no Bronco Bucks is a life-changing moment, especially when you are drunk at the C-Store at 1am. Who is going to buy you pizza Lunchables now?

6. The Delhi Plague

Like clockwork, every year, the Delhi Plague strikes the innocent student body of SUNY Delhi. The plague is not the common cold; I am pretty sure this plague is a strain from the Black Plague. No amount of hand sanitizer will save you.

7. Delhi's Lab Attire

Is this a scene from the Village People, or is it just some kids walking to class? With all of our unique majors like Nursing/Vet-Sci, Construction, Hospitality and so much more, our lab clothes end up looking a bit odd when we are all walking to class together. Can we YMCA to class? Let's make this happen, people!

8. Walking To Price Chopper Drunk

Conveniently located between fraternity houses and campus, Price Chopper is a pit stop for all party-going students (mainly the drunk ones).

9. Climbing The Hill To The Fitness Center

Only satan would put the gym and Clark Field House up a huge freaking hill. By the time I walk up the hill, my workout is #over.

10. The Brutal Cold

Remember that one time when it was 20 below with a wind chill for a whole week? Yeah, I try to black that out of my mind too...

11. Realizing You Made Friendships That Will Last A Life Time

You will meet your friends because of your major, because of your dorm, or maybe even because you both decided to wear that cat shirt on the first day of classes. The friends you make at SUNY Delhi will be some of the best you ever have. Shout out to all of my friends: I LOVE YOU!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
