The first day of freshman year in college is a monumental moment in a young person's life. You are full of so much excitement and concern because college kids are always so cool right? Well, maybe. So here's a play by play of what the first day will look like at the University of Tennessee.

You jump out of bed ready for your first day of college (just like Jessica Day does every day!) The world is at the tip of your toes and you could not be excited. 8ams? They aren't even that bad! Then you walk out your dorm & well New Girl will tell you the rest....

1. Alright, I got this.

.

Pencils. Highlighters. Perfect outfit. Let's go take on the world!

2. Am I even in the right building?

HSS? JHB? Why is my UTK app not working!! They should post maps.

2. Oh, gosh I do not know anyone in my classes.

Hello, stranger in math! We are now friends! I'm sitting with you.

3. Everyone is wearing a t-shirt, but me.

In college, everyone goes to class looking like they are homeless.

3. Why is there an entire city of people on Ped Walkway?

SO. Many. People. Wow.

4. PCB? What?


Panama City Beach? What? That's the cafeteria? I'm SO hungry. How do I get there?

5. SO many new boys.

Was that my future husband? He's absolutely so beautiful. I have to marry him.

7. Wait, they don't take attendance? Like I don't have to come?

Act natural. Wow. This is so weird.

8. I really just want to talk to my mom

Oh, but my mom isn't here. No cookies waiting for you after your first day.

9. You decide to be productive in the library


This is what college kids do right? Wait how many floors are in this building? Oh wow, there's even a Starbucks!

10. When you successfully log in to Canvas & actually understand myUTk.

Don't forget you're activation codes & payment days!!

11. You get into your room and your roomie asks how your day is??

Change room to bed because now you are sharing a 10x7 square with someone else!

12. Time to get back in the extra small twin bed!


Overall, you'll tell yourself this: ready to do it all again tomorrow!!

The first day of college is shocking to anyone, but have no fear, you'll have UT down to a science in no time!

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
