11 Wild Things I Heard Freshmen Say During The First Week Of Classes

One of my favorite things to do on a nice day back on campus is to walk around and take in the enjoyable weather. However, walking around without your headphones once in a while proves to be very entertaining when catching a few weird sentences in a passing conversation. The most interesting conversations are usually heard from passing freshmen during the new school year as they wander around campus with different will thoughts. These are just some of the conversations I picked up on this first week back at university.

1. "If you're going to bring marshmallows to an 8 a.m., you might as well share."

I don't know what class these girls were in or why the other student brought marshmallows for breakfast but they do have a good point here. Sharing is caring.

2. "My teacher said I need a clicker?"


I laugh because this was something I asked the bookstore clergy as soon as I saw it on the required materials list. He laughed then too.

3. "Can I use flex to by my textbooks?"

A lot of schools have meal plans for there students and at my school specifically, flex is additional money put on a card to help students buy food at places other than the dining hall. So I'm sorry to the young freshmen that asked this but no, unfortunately, you cannot.

4. Snoring

This was more of something I saw rather than heard. Not even the third day of classes and there was already a student sleeping in the hallway outside of what I assume was her class. This year is going to be a long one.

5. "Someone snuck a puppy into the dorms and I am determined to find it."


I wish I still lived in the dorms because I bet I would be joining this person on their quest for a cute puppy to pet.

6. "People were knocking on doors on my floor so I turned the lights off and pretended I wasn't there."

I suggest not doing this. As bad as the timing could be or silly as the idea is, try getting to know the people on your floor. It will make your first year an easier transition.

7. "Why do I have a class at 6:30 at night?" 

Welcome to college! Where class can start at 8 a.m. and end at 9 p.m.

8. "My teacher won't let me have my laptop, how do I take notes?"

I get if keeping up with teachers notes in class can be hard but if a teacher is requesting you take notes the old fashion way with pencil and paper then chances are they won't mind slowing down if you ask them to.

9. "I'm going to see how long I can last without a tutor."


If you are struggling, do not be afraid to ask for help. The longer you wait, the harder it will be for you to actually find an available tutor for your specific subject.

10. "What's the dress code?''

Ah college, allowing you to have creative freedom with your wardrobe choices.

11. "I already pulled an all-nighter and class started yesterday."

Please never feel that the only way you will pass college is to pull all-nighters. It will only have negative effects on you in all areas so try your best to time manage and rest well.

These little snippets of conversation may have been entertaining at the time but it is still important to remember you are not alone in your college experience and to ask for all the information you need in order to make yourself succeed in this new chapter of your life.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
