7 Things College Freshmen Have Already Heard Too Much

Really, you should just start handing out your own syllabus to answer these questions.

7 Things College Freshmen Have Already Heard Too Much
Forbes

Ah, welcome week, I mean syllabus week. The period of time where you show up to the wrong classroom twenty minutes early, despite your compulsive use of a campus map (yes, it is that obvious to other people that that's why you're staring so intently at your phone). But, despite the joy of all of the little-to-none work you've done in class, and invites to many welcome week events, here are some things that college freshman have also gotten a lot of.

1. So, do you know your way around the campus yet?

Sure, I mean there's only like tons of buildings that look the exact same. And no, that person who awkwardly got up and left the lecture hall 10 minutes in definitely wasn't me.

2. How are you liking your roommate(s)?

It's been like six days, and we haven't fought yet, so I guess you could say we're gonna be best friends forever.

3. How's the food in the caf?

Honestly, I'll get sick of it eventually, but for now the fact that I have unlimited pizza is something to celebrate (what freshman fifteen?)

4. How are your classes going?

"I can totally manage an 8:00 AM class, I mean I woke up earlier than that everyday during high school!"

5. Where are you from?

Literally, don't bother asking. You've never heard of the town I'm from, but I promise it exists.

6. What's your major?

Oh, you're an art major?

7. FRESHMAN!!!!

It's like it's obvious or something.

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.
