There's something oddly comforting about being back on campus. Comm Ave doesn't seem as daunting as it seemed last year, the GSU seems more homely and Marciano seems easier to navigate. It's funny how much has changed in a year,and yet the changes sophomore year brings are still very palpable.

No matter what people tell you, being a freshman at University is incredibly fun! The university and students do their best to help you settle in and find your footing and you're somewhat the centre of attention.

But, most importantly, being a freshman provides the luxury of making mistakes, HUGE ones and having them shrugged off as 'freshman mistakes.'

Got piss drunk on a Tuesday night? No matter, we all do in freshman year

Missed a class because you didn't know where the Law Auditorium was? It's okay, we all are lost on campus as freshman.

Doing classes that have no relation to your major? Pssh, freshman year is for discovery.

Freshman year goes in a blur. It rushes right past you and before you know it, you're moving out of the dorm room your parents and you so carefully set up in August. It's been only a week into college, and I already find myself clinging onto certain aspects of it.

Sophomore year is that weird year in the middle. You're not an underclassman anymore but neither are you fully an upperclassman. You've left the nest but you don't quite know how to fly yet.

As much as you'd like to, you haven't got your life figured out yet. There are still enough winding roads and speed bumps ahead,and the best you can do is strap on your belt cause the ride could be bumpy. In all honesty, I have no idea how my year is going to pan out or what to even expect out of it, but I do know that it won't be anything like my freshman year. And that's okay.

Who knows, maybe a year from now, I'll be sitting hunched over my laptop eulogizing about sophomore year.
