5 Questions All Freshmen Have Going Into Their First Day

I'm super excited about the first year, but I'm still very apprehensive.

5 Questions All Freshmen Have Going Into Their First Day
Odyssey

I decided to write this so after the semester I could answer them. Freshmen year is full of different and new experiences and people. It is also full of stress, fun, laughs, and learning how to be on my own. Already I've met so many people that I would've never met at home. Going in, I have so many different questions and things I'm worried about, so here are five questions I have going into my first year:

1. Will I like my roommate?

Yeah, I know I'll love her when I first meet her, but a couple months down the road will I still love her? Or will she bring people over that make me feel uncomfortable? Are we going to fight a lot? Living with someone new is weird, so how will I do? But I'm equally worried about my roommate loving me.

2. Will I find my "Forever Friends"?

You know those friends that you will literally have for the rest of your life? Those ones that your children call aunt or uncle? Will I find them this year or do I have to wait until my sophomore year? I feel like a freshman in high school all over again trying to fit in and find friends. The pressure is real.

3. How hard will my classes be?

They say college is ten times harder than high school, but with all the free time and resources, will it really be hard? I know they will be expecting more of us than in high school but what will it really be like? Also, the resources are literally a walk away, so why wouldn't I use them?

4. How much sleep am I going to get?

My nap game is already pretty strong, but every visit I've gone on college kids are constantly napping. Is this because they don't have enough sleep or because they just nap constantly so they are constantly tired? Will my homework get in the way of sleep? Will I need to stay up all night to finish that last minute paper?

5. WILL I GAIN THE FRESHMAN 15??

So my mom while shopping was SO BIG ABOUT PORTION CONTROL because of the dreaded freshman 15. Wells is so big and hilly but I am still concerned about the weight because I know stress can make you want to eat more and food on college campuses are known not to be the healthiest. So, will I gain the dreaded pounds????

So before I start my first week at Wells, I have SO MANY questions. With all of these questions, though I'm so ready for this year!!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
