As once being a SU Freshman I know what it's like. Having to deal with being the newbies in a brand new place all by yourself; It can even be a little scary at first! So here are a few things to help make some friends, or just de-stress from all of the workload. A bucket list to help make the year just a little bit more memorable!
1. Go to Cook Out late at night
This applies to the weekend mostly, but it's an experience all on its own.
2. Go to student night at Stratosphere
This is a great way to hang out with some friends for a little while, while also getting that exercise in! (Plus student night is cheaper!)
3. Spend a weekend in with your roommates
You are going to want to go out every night and go to all of the parties, but every now and again its okay to stay in! Take a minute and just relax and de-stress from all of the homework and just watch a movie with your squad!
4. Take a bunch of pictures with Sammy
Every school has that superstition of taking a picture with their mascot in order to do well every year, and personally I don't wanna find out if it doesn't work. However, you should take random pictures with Sammy anyway! Grab some friends and take some adorable pics.
5. Go to as many sporting events as you can
Considering your tuition and fees have already paid for it!
6. As well as theatre and cultural events
Once again, YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR IT! And all of the people involved would love to see your smiling faces enjoying the show! <3
7. Basically do everything that's free!
Free things are the best things! Being a broke college student, you take anything you can get.
8. Participate in Spring Olympics
It's actually pretty fun, and a great team building exercise for each building!
9. Go to 7-11 at 2am with your friends
Slurpees never tasted better!
10. Try all of the popular foods/drinks at Cool Beans and Gulls Nest
Trying new things can be scary, but it's also delicious.
11. Join at least one club or sport.
This is one of the biggest ways you can make friends on campus that you have things in common with! Whether it is a club, a sport, or even Greek life, you won't regret it!
12. Have a fancy dinner with friends.
Sometimes it's just fun to dress up and hang out with your friends. And just because you dress up really nicely doesn't mean you have to go to a fancy restaurant.
13. Throw a Netflix party and invite everyone in your dorm.
Is there a better way to make some friends than on your floor?
14. Actually study and get good grades
I mean, that is what we are all ultimately here for right?
15. But also,have fun
