15 Thoughts: Freshmen vs Upperclassmen
Google

There are two types of people in this thing called college; one is a freshman and the second is an upperclassmen. Both of which have similar thoughts but depending on whether you are the first or second person, it differs throughout your experience in college.

Freshmen: "I have my backpack filled with every possible thing it can hold including my class schedule, extra utensils and paper, and all the books required for this class!"

Upperclassmen: "Let's throw some things into my bag that I probably won't use because it's syllabus week anyways."


Freshmen: "I am going to ace all of my classes by studying everyday, doing my homework, and basically be living in the library." (No judgement)

Upperclassmen: "C's get degrees, am I right?!"


Freshmen: "I hope I find my soulmate and we go on all these cute dates, and fall madly in love."

Upperclassmen: "I am in a serious relationship with pizza and alcohol."


Freshmen: "I hope I am not seen as a freshman, blend in as much as possible."

Upperclassmen: "I have had my classes with the same 30 students every year so you are going to stick out whether you want to or not because I have never seen you before."


Freshmen: "Going to take very detailed notes, go to office hours, and attend every class."

Upperclassmen: "Those notes are going to be on blackboard right?"


Freshmen: "I have all this money I saved up and my parents are helping me out so no worries in the financial area."

Upperclassmen: "Have exactly .17 cents in my bank right now. I'm fine."


Freshmen: "I am going to workout everyday and eat only healthy food."

Upperclassmen: "Gaining weight is a way of maturing."


Freshmen: "20 minutes before my next class? I can review material and study and..."

Upperclassmen: "20 minutes before my next class? Nap."


Freshmen: "Where is my class anyways? How do you even pronounce this building? Should I carry a map with me?"

Upperclassmen: "I could find my class in my sleep. Wait I didn't know this building had a third story?"


Freshmen: "I'm going to wear my nicest clothes and shoes; look amazing, do amazing right?"

Upperclassmen: "This T-shirt doesn't have any holes in it and these yoga pants look clean so it should work."


Freshmen: "Got an alcohol violation on my first day of college, let's create a gofundme for it."

Upperclassmen: "Don't need to worry about those things. Decorating my apartment with alcohol references, will blare music and be obnoxiously loud for the pre game, and going to the bar to drink because I'm of age.


Freshmen: "Do I have to check into the front desk EVERY TIME I check into my dorm building?"

Upperclassmen: "No rules. Fire Up."


Freshmen: "I will call my mom everyday because I miss her already."

Upperclassmen: "I'll text my mom to tell her I'm still alive right before going out for my 5th time this week."


Freshmen: "These dorms are so small and I have to share it?!"

Upperclassmen: "My closet is larger than my dorm room last year."


Freshmen: "My major is undecided."

Upperclassmen: "Same."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
