Freshmen year A-term at WPI has made me realize about the great experiences I've had in college. I've learned a lot about my first month and a half here.

Fall is the best time of year at WPI

When you stand on the bridge, you can see the beautiful fall colors on the trees and feel that wind brush past your face. You can even see all the squirrels munching on acorns and taking them to their hideout for the winter.

DAKA celebrates Halloween and birthdays

That moment when you realize that the Morgan Dining Hall actually celebrates Halloween and birthdays. What's better than mummies hanging from the ceiling along with scary cupcakes and cake on top of those delicious cookies DECA has?

Study ahead of time

I always thought cramming the day before a test was helpful in high school, but boy was I wrong to use that technique in college. The amount of work in even 3 classes is hard to manage so studying beforehand helps reinforce the knowledge in time for the actual exam.

Time management is KEY

Getting your priorities straight is hard, but manageable. I found that having a schedule for the day or even the week is very helpful to keep track of the countless things you are doing.

Don't forget to have fun! :D

I realized that WPI has a lot of opportunities to have fun to lighten up the stress of classes and studying. The Fall Fair had free #LiveWPI t-shirts and mugs to drink hot chocolate from in the winter. They even had my favorite dessert as a kid, candy apples and cotton candy, yum!
