20 Questions Radford Freshmen Have When They Get To Campus
Ashley Duke

Every college freshman has questions about college life and entering the first part of adulthood. These are some common questions an average Radford Freshman like myself has.

1. Where is the best place to eat on or around campus besides the dining halls?




Let's be honest, we aren't always going to want to eat the food in the dining halls and we need good alternatives.

2. How much does it cost to do an average load of laundry?



Not all of us are well versed in how to do laundry and we are a little worried about the cost.

3. What are some items we wouldn't think to bring but should have on campus?



Some of us over-pack and some of us don't pack enough, what are some things we wouldn't think about bringing with us?

4. Is it hard to find and get to and from classes?



I know Radford isn't the largest campus in the world but it's still different for some of us and we really don't want to get lost and confused.

5. How easy is it to get involved in clubs and organizations?



I know I've seen a couple of clubs i'm interested in joining but I want to know if the process of getting involved is easy.

6. Is it better to have your bed raised or lofted?



I want to have as much space as possible in our dorm but I also don't want to fall out of the bed and take a long fall to the floor in my sleep.

7. Do you recommend going to events that your RA hosts?



No one wants to attend something that isn't 'cool'.

8. What are some ways to save and make money on campus?



Gotta have that spending money.

9. What is the best way to organize your studying and make sure everything gets done before class?



We want to have fun but also keep up with our studies and make sure we are retaining the information we are learning as well as getting assignments done on time.

10. Should we have a calendar to keep all of our events, obligations, and engagements organized?



I know I have a planner, but is it easy to keep track of everything?

11. Can we have overnight visitors on campus?



I have friends from other schools as well as a boyfriend back home that would love to come and spend a weekend with me on campus.

12. Where is the best hang-out spot on campus?



We aren't going to want to spend all of our time in a dorm room when there are prime spots on-campus.

13. How easy is it to make friends?



We all are sorta new at this and don't really know many people.

14. What should we expect in our classes?



Are there tough professors? Tough projects and assignments?

15. How do we easily get a job on campus?



Some of us already know how hard it is to get a job in our hometowns, is it even harder on campus?

16. Is it easy to adjust to living in a dorm?



While not all of us have huge bedrooms, we aren't all used to sharing a room.

17. Do some professors assign work over the break?



It's called a break for a reason.

18. Do the dining halls get really crowded?



No one wants to eat when they can't sit down.

19. What are the most popular clubs on campus?



Every campus has clubs that are more involved and advertised on campus than others, what are Radford's most well-known clubs?

20. Is it a good idea to have our parents send us care packages?



Then maybe we don't have to spend a lot of money on snack food and drinks to stock our mini-fridges.

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.
