15 People You Will Meet In Your First Week At Emory

15. The overly hyper RA

It's move in day. It's over 100 degrees in the Hotlanta heat, and they will appear: the overly hyper RA, ready to help you move into your very first college dorm room. You will not understand how they can manage to be so hyper in this heat or this early. But do not worry, their excitement will not wane until Song Fest.

14. The person who is already drunk on move-in

Right after the overly-hyper RA leaves your dorm room, this lovely specimen will find its way in. They'll stumble in and tell you their name, but don't worry, they'll forget meeting you until the next frat party you see them at. You'll wonder how they're drunk at 10:30 a.m. on a Saturday, but you'll probably join them for a drink or two by the time the school year is over.

13. The person who is way too excited for Song Fest

Don't get me wrong. Song fest is awesome, and everyone should be excited about it. However, there's always gonna be that one kid who takes it too far. They will be screaming louder than your SAs about the formation and how you must hit every note to win. They'll be in the very front line of Song Fest formation, the very first kid you look for when you watch the Song Fest video later.

12. The drug addict

It will be the first week, yet this kid's room will already always be reeking of weed. The RAs have posted in the Facebook group at least three times already for the floor to stop smelling like weed, but nothing will work.

11. The overly driven kid

This kid is pre-med AND pre-business. They're also triple majoring in classics, English and biology. This kid will be weeded out by the weed-out classes and end up becoming a philosophy major by their second semester, but at least let them enjoy their little bubble of denial in the first week.

10. The girl who has a long distance boyfriend, but they're in an "open relationship"

There are an oddly large number of these the first week of school. Nine times out of 10, she won't tell you about the boyfriend until AFTER you two have already hooked up. But hey, to each their own. If they're happy like this, more power to them.

9. The overly religious girl

This girl has only been drunk one time, at her cousin's wedding when her uncle snuck her a few glasses of wine. Everything you do this girl considers a sin. She'll try to invite you to Bible study with her at least twice in the first week of school.

8. The kid whose parents obviously bought his way in

You'll sit next to this kid in class. He'll ask you so many dumb questions in the first class, you'll wonder how he even made it through kindergarten. He'll raise his hand and ask the professor what day the final exam is, even though it will be printed right in front of him. You'll come back to your dorm room with stories about what dumb question he asked in class almost every day.

7. The guy who is trying way too hard to lose his virginity

He thinks that college is like a bad Jonah Hill movie, and now that he's finally made it to college, he'll lose the infamous V card he's held onto for so long. He will try to flirt with girls at frat parties. You will watch, and it will be the single most uncomfortable moment in both your and his life. Don't worry, dude. You'll lose it one day. However, please don't try to use the corny pick-up line your father taught you. It's not gonna work.

6. The professor who thinks his course is the only one you're taking

This is actually almost every professor at Emory. The first day, you will have a 50-page reading assignment, 17 different textbooks needed for that class and six different term papers as well as a final. And this is your easiest class. Welcome to Emory. #top21

5. The senior who still lives in the frat house and tries to sleep with every freshman girl

He may succeed with you. It's nothing to be ashamed of. EVERY. SINGLE. FRAT HOUSE. has one of these. Don't ask me why. They are normally the nicest and sweetest guy in the frat. He'll always give you free alcohol and have a crazy story about the last girl he hooked up with.

4. The crazy one

You can spot them by the crazy eyes. These at first seem like the nicest and sweetest people you will ever meet. However, one day they snap, and you realize they are actually insane. You'll awake with them standing over your bed watching you sleep. Try to avoid at all cost.

3. "The one"

It will be your first night out, and you'll meet him walking down the row. He'll blow you away with these crazy stories. He'll promise to take you out on his yacht and you will be enamored with him for about 48 hours. You two will awkwardly hook up twice and then avoid each other for the rest of the school year.

2. Your future "best friend"

You two will be inseparable for about three days in the first week of school. They will probably be in your OL group. You'll go out once or twice in the first week of school, and then only see each other in MJQ bathroom where you will drunkenly scream, "OH MY GOD, WE HAVEN'T SEEN EACH OTHER IN FOREVER," then make drunken plans to hang out soon. You two will never hang out again.

1. Your ACTUAL future best friend

Chances are, you'll probably meet them in your first week, too. The person who will be there for you through anything. The person to snap you back to reality when you're being insane and will always be down for a dance party in your dorm room when you're stressed. The person who will bring you soup when you're sick and alcohol when you need a drink. They're your person. And they're the person you can't wait to see the first week of your sophomore year as well.

Good luck, freshmeat. You're gonna need it.

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.

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.
