Let's talk about Room Draw!

12 Thoughts of Your Average Post-Spring Break Frosh
Joe Shlabotnik

I don't know about you, but it's only one week back from Spring Break and I've had so many thoughts and emotions running through me these past few days. As the year winds downs (this is the home stretch, Tigers!), we are able to sit back and reflect on our experiences, achievements, and failures. Whether we like it or not, however, we can't ignore the weight of the present and future concerns bearing down on us. So in the spirit of the final two months of school, I compiled a list of the thoughts of your typical Princeton frosh! Note: Although most of these thoughts are meant to be characteristic of a first-year, I cannot deny that some would still be relevant to students from other years.


1. What the heck is room draw?? What do I do? Why did I get such a lousy draw time? I don't know what I'm doing. Help.

Seeing all those rooms disappear from the "Available Rooms" list caused me such great anxiety. I felt so powerless!!

2. Midterms. Lol.

'Nough said.

3. Can we just skip over the part where I write my R2? Please and thank you.

To be quite honest, my "revisions" are more like "rewrites." With an altered thesis comes an altered essay. The struggle is so real.

4. I could have so used an extra week of Spring Break.

I mean, it IS the only break of the spring semester. Sure, adding an extra week of break might make the school year a week longer, but I don't think that's so bad. (Please don't tell me I hold an unpopular opinion).

5. I have to choose Fall courses soon?? I don't even know what I'm wearing tomorrow, let alone what classes I want to take five months down the line.

Okay, let's see what distribution requirements I still need to take. We'll start there.

6. How have I made it this far? Wow, I'm impressed with myself.

In all seriousness, we all deserve to be here. I knew you could do it!

7. I'm going to be a sophomore???

It honestly does not feel that long ago when I got my acceptance letter. Orientation was yesterday! What is this madness??

8. Preview is coming up already???? Wow, I'm no longer that confused awkward prefrosh anymore! Now I'm just a confused awkward frosh.

9. Wait. Am I seriously going to be a sophomore?

10. Regular decisions came out??? What?! Since when??

Face it, 2020, we're old news.

11. I...I'm...going to be a sophomore....

Being a sophomore means being a slightly more experienced Tiger. We're just a bit wiser (and more foolish. See what I did there?)

12. I can't believe my freshman year is already coming to an end. To be honest, though, I would not have wanted to spend it anywhere else. Thank you, Old Nassau. I can't wait to spend the next three years here.

There you have it. Let me know if I missed anything important!


Stay chill, Tiger family.

Cheers!

-Jon

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
