The Life Of Freshmen At WNE

The odd adventures of freshman year.

The Life Of Freshmen At WNE
Brooke Barup

There is a lot of things that I never thought I would be involved in, and none of them involve being a part of campus activities. Since it's been about 11 weeks since school started, a couple friends and I have weekly Walmart trips because there is always something that gets forgotten that is needed on a regular basis. Half of those trips involve fish (we might have a fish problem), but it's all for the fun of things. There's been people walking in on other people changing or going to the bathroom once every two weeks or so.

Staying up too late has become the ultimate issue when it comes to school nights and 8 am classes. You just don't do it. The thing about 8 am's is that getting up is a problem and you know that if you wake up at 7:30 a.m. you won't have time to eat and really relax and enjoy the morning because you're rushing (happens to me every single time). My conclusion about 8 am's is that they make you gain that freshman 15 because after being in class for 80 mins, you get more hungry than you started, meaning excessive eating.

Once it hits October the maintenance people shut off the air conditioning and it's still so hot that you could have a sauna in your own room for no charge at all. Those late night McGangBangs from McDonald's and Walmart trips that might be a suicide mission are on the top of my list when it comes to things you should never do, but you do it anyway.

In the words of my friends "We saved fish from Walmart and they're happier now."

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.
