Rookie Mistakes You'll Still Make Junior Year

No worries freshman, you're not alone.

Rookie Mistakes You'll Still Make Junior Year
University of Delaware

Freshman, you're not alone. As we enter the Fall 2016 semester, we juniors are scrambling around like chickens with our heads cut off too. It's almost as if the clocks were turned back two years because we are oddly unfamiliar with the campus. Between moving out of the dorms into new homes, learning to adult (i.e. food shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc.), and realizing graduate school applications are quickly approaching, we juniors are beginning this school year quite flustered.

So if you happen to notice students making these rookie mistakes on campus, do not just assume they are freshman because they may just as well be the confused juniors of the world.

1. Walking into the wrong class on the first day


2. Googling the campus map to find the building your class is in


3. Setting your class schedule as your lock screen


4. Misjudging how long it takes to walk to class, so you show up super early or super late


5. Forgetting what times your classes are


6. Answering questions the first week of classes and being the first name your professors learn


7. Trying to go to the gym at the beginning of the year --> constantly standing around waiting for machines


8. Realizing you forgot a million things at home when you unpack


9. Microwaving ramen for dinner even though you have a full kitchen



10. Showing up to parties the first weekend with every friend you've ever met in college

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
