12 Moments That Freshman Have
The College Whisperer


1. Writing scholarships and making weird connections to it

"Milk has impacted my life because it has been proven to protect me from cancer and asteroids from hitting my body. I am also very poor because of having to buy milk so this scholarship will help pay for my bills for college."

College students are desperate to get money for college as much as they can, and will write pretty much everything in order to not have as much loans as we can.

2. Okay, okay people seem to know each other just focus on the food and then get to the meeting people later

You go through the motions because you have to not look like someone who does not have friends.

3.You hung out with only your roommate for the first day

If you were anything like me your roommate was one of the only 3 people you were acquainted with in the school at first.

4. Forcing yourself to think that freshman orientation is a must and that you cannot sleep in and skip it

In my orientation everyone was from my major so I changed my classes to be with the same group of girls.

5. Everyone checks up on you on your first week, and it’s not only your parent- cousins, aunts, any family friend that reports back to your mom

Did you make it to all your classes on time? Have you done all your homework? Titi it’s syllabus week nothing exciting has happen yet.

6.You get so excited that you can have your own diet and eat everything your mom said was once in a blue moon.

You start to miss home and miss your mom’s cooking. You begin to understand why pizza everyday is not actually a good thing. Where's my arroz con gandules?!?

7. I love my major!! I took that one class in high school, must be the same

Family members "Oh so your not studying ___ anymore"

50% of college students change their major at least once during college, because you are not the same person you were in high school. This is only natural. If you do not end up changing your major, then that is perfectly okay too.

8. No one is there to watch you come back home because in college there are no babysitters, especially living in the dorms.

Man I’m gonna regret this....

This is when you realize that staying up watching an entire series on Netflix with your friends the night before classes was actually a bad idea. You learned the value of something called time management.

9. I NEED NAP TIME. Nap before homework. Nap before going out. Nap in between classes. Naps are essential.

10. Psych club? Sure! Newman Club? Yes! Dance club? Why not?! Poetry club? I write! Tea club? I like tea.

Turns into... 2am still haven’t finished that paper

12. In college, for almost every event there is a free t-shirt included.

Another Free T-shirt about the student center? I mean I guess

I mean who doesn’t need another pajama shirt? Get them in x large!

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.
