I am officially done with my freshman year of college at Denison University, woah. A few months ago, (which actually seems like lifetimes ago), I wrote about 16 Truths I Learned During My First Week at Denison University.
I thought I would share the knowledge I have acquired after completing my first two semesters there.
1. The Hill is a world of its own.
2. River Road Coffeehouse in Granville is the best place to study.
3. Professors are always there to help.
4. Denison Students are passionate and ready to change the world.
5. Three Tigers in Granville has the best tofu around.
6. Campus is beautiful during any time of year.
7. There are a million campus organizations to choose from.
8. The Gala is the classiest night of the year.
9. The Mac and Cheese at The Nest is a must-try.
It's very heartbreaking when you want some late night food at the nest and see the unfortunate "No Mac" sign on the board.
10. All the stairs and hills take some getting used to.
On the bright side, my calves have never looked better.
11. The library is packed on Sundays, AKA homework days.
12. It is smart to avoid Slayter's 1PM Lunch Rush
Unless waiting a half hour for a chicken avocado is your style, I would advise to plan your lunch around the rush hour.
13. The staff at Denison will brighten your day.
Shoutout to Lynn from Curtis, you're the bomb.
14. Parking is a hassle when your college is on a hill.
But having a car on campus is so worth it when you can make weekend trips to Columbus.
15. Cookie Sunkle is a real person!
Yes, all those emails you're getting are from a real person.
16. Adam Weinberg is the coolest dude.
17. Doobiepalooza is the best day of the year.
Denison's student run radio station, 91.1 WDUB hosts an annual music festival. I might be bias since I'm a Doobie DJ myself but...
18. There are many cool little spots to explore on campus.
19. The Academics are very challenging but are equally rewarding.
20. I'm still not exactly sure what a Big Red is.
21. We know how to cut loose on the weekends.
Work hard, play hard, right?
22. Finals week is tough...
23. But the dogs at the de-stress fest help.
24. The people you meet here make all the stress worth it.
25. It's my home away from home.
I'm going to miss the hill this summer, bring on sophomore year!
