14 Things I've Learned So Far During Freshman Year

Coming in last semester experiencing college for the first time, I wondered if the crazy I’ve heard is really true or not. I was so curious of what was going to happen that I haven't heard about. Over the sixteen weeks of last semester and the two weeks from this semester, I've concluded some key ideas about college. There is so much that can be mentioned but these are first things that come to mind.

The food at the dining hall is absolutely terrible about 85 percent of time and your better off spending money and ordering in.


Ramen, Easy Mac, and popcorn has become my basic diet.

Even working during college and having a source of income, I still find myself broke.

Frat parties are so packed to the point you can’t move and the only way to get through the crowd is shimmy and dance your way through.

Frat parties also have tons weirdos that will dance awkwardly and watch you until they feel it is the right time to strike.


Naps become apart of your daily routine.

People who truly love their alcohol will drink on a Monday or Tuesday night, or even during the day.


There still is circulating petty drama and a ton of queens bees, so don’t expect it to disappear when you come to college.


Tinder is like a box chocolates.


Yik Yak consist of venting, questions, and horny people.


There is not enough time in the day to be productive, but enough time for Netflix, naps, and anything else to procrastinate.


You'll find people in relationship and watch them be happy making you realize you're forever alone and don't care.

Then you realize you're tired of the players and hate not having someone meaningful.

Lastly, even though you want to party, hang out with friends, or do whatever else, you're here to grow up and get grades, don't put your self in debt for something you could've done at home for free.

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.
