Walking onto campus this year, I felt a sense of coming home. The familiar walkways and the building I was once again living in stirred memories as I moved all my stuff into my new room. I was prepared for a new school year and a bunch of classes that I was actually excited to take. I knew that this year was going to be a great year with both my friends from the year before, and all the new people I would meet. With that said, this year began a little differently than my freshman year, and Meredith Grey is here to tell you a little bit about it.

1. Suddenly, I was no longer a new kid on campus.

2. Basically that means as far as students living on campus, I was now a cool kid.

3. Watching the new students is, well, pretty funny.

4. Then we wonder if we were ever as clueless as the new students.

5. On syllabus day we get to our classes and the professor tells us we’ll be graded on participation.

6. Talking about classes, we’re already behind on homework, just by stepping onto campus.

7. We have done everything we can to avoid 8 AM classes (except the very sad and tired science majors).

8. Even after all of our first year mishaps, though, we managed to come back strong, and we’re here to get it done.
