7 Ways To Spot Freshman

1. They immediately write their newly given emails on everything and don't realize how much of a colossal mistake that is yet. Do not give your email to every one that ask at the Org fair. Its a trap.

2. They are caring paper print outs of their schedules with the room numbers on it, hard core squinting at buildings for markings to distinguish which one is which. (Is this the engineering building or science building??!) Honestly just ask an upperclassman. Make a friend!

3. They are legitimately Running to class...no just no. It honestly wasn't necessary senior year of high school and it Definitely isn't now. So just don't. Take the L and be a few minutes late. 90% of the time your Professor won't care.

4. They accidentally call their Professor "Mr/s". Fastest way to accidentally insult and annoy a professor. just stick to "Professor" or "Doctor" if you have to.

5. They are wearing all of their high school apparel. My favorite is the letter man jacket you pay so much for, probably wear the first week of school, and then bury in your closet until you go back to your high school for Homecoming.

6. When a sorority or fraternity member approaches them their first reaction is equivalent to avoiding someone sneezing in their direction because their only exposure to Greek life thus far has been Animal House and Neighbors. Thank you Zack Efron for that wonderful introduction....(sarcasm)

7. The phrase "Thirsty Thursday" might as well be a foreign holiday they have never heard of, and drinking during the week sounds just as bad as making out with the preachers daughter in their heads and they just seem appalled at the thought. Don't worry freshman, give it about a month or two and you will be surprised how fast your learning curve is.

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.
