After all the boxes are unpacked, all the clothes are tucked into drawers and closets, all of the hugs are given, and goodbyes said, move-in day suddenly becomes something else: meet new people day. Whether it's your first year or your last, odds are you'll still meet a ton of new people the first couple weeks of school. While it's important to know someone's name, major and hometown, people often get really tired of answering those questions over and over. Here are 35 unique ice breaker questions.

1. What is your spirit color?


2. Do you prefer minty gum or fruity gum?


3. What's the best Julie Andrews movie?

4. Do you order breakfast food or cookout food at a diner?

5. Which is a better vacation, mountains or beach?

6. Cookies or brownies?

7. Would you rather drink coffee or tea?

8. What song do you wish you could sing really well?

9. If you could instantly master any instrument, what would it be?

10. What's your favorite cereal?

11. Fruits or vegetables?

12. Do you have a favorite dog breed?

13. What's the best meme on the internet currently?

14. What's your favorite holiday?

15. If you could travel anywhere in the world for free, where would you go?

16. What's your favorite band?

17. If you wrote a book, what would it be called?

18. If you had to change your name, what would you change it to?

19. If you could invent anything, what would it be?

20. Kraft mac and cheese or Velveeta mac and cheese?

21. Would you rather watch a police show or a doctor show?

22. Who would play you in a movie?

23. What's the weirdest food you've ever eaten?

24. If you had a million dollars, but had to give it away, who would you give it to?

25. What's the best Christmas gift you've ever gotten?

26. What was your favorite toy as a kid

27. What was the last book you read?

28. What's the last movie you saw in theaters?

29. What was your favorite show as a kid?

30. What's your favorite Disney Channel Original Movie?

31. Who is your favorite relative?

32. Dunkin Dounuts or Krispy Kreme

33. Harry Potter, Star Wars, or Lord of the Rings

34. What movie or book do you wish had a(nother) sequel?

35. What's your favorite kind of M&M?

Hopefully you also remember to ask their name, major, and hometown somewhere in the mix of these, because that could be pretty awkward if not, but either way you know some pretty interesting and weird stuff about your new friends.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
