"Pitch Perfect" Friendships

It is a rare occasion that a single movie can nearly exactly capture a particular experience. One of the closest representations of the college experience, especially the process of making friends, is "Pitch Perfect." Somehow, in an hour and a half, it is completely able to chronicle the process of making new friends, which every college student, especially the freshmen, can relate to.

First, hey perfectly capture the roommate situation. Roommates, like all people, can range from perfectly harmless to downright scary. Hopefully, you've landed somewhere in between.


You might find yourself at a party, sometime soon after. Especially at Sewanee, this may be the easiest way to interact with people that you don't live with. Get out, meet new people, and have fun. Just make sure to know your limits when it comes to drinking.

You'll often feel the urge to find people who truly understand you as a person. When that is the case, you might have to go out of your comfort zone or try something totally new, a sport or activity perhaps, but who knows. You might end up love something you've never even heard of before.

Meeting new people can be an awkward, if not terrifying, event for a lot of people. "Pitch Perfect" teaches us that it is important to actually get out and try to find somewhere where you feel comfortable and people that you can feel comfortable with. College is your home away from home now, so you'll thank yourself when you finally meet people you have something in common with, even if it's just for a minute. Maybe you'll become fast friends.

Once you've found those people who let you be yourself and love you for it, that is where you are meant to be. These are the friends who will be around for years to come. And, if you're lucky, you just might make some amazing memories along the way.


Just hope that those memories don't involve flying Mexican food...

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.
