10 Things You Experienced Freshman Year At Emory

1. Felt awkward walking to the bathroom in your towel for the first time.

And were scared when you ran in to your RA while in said towel

.

2. Performed at songfest (but never attended a practice)

You had no idea what was going on, but were upset when you didn't win.

3. Stole a spoon/bowl/cup/plate from the DUC

By the time you graduate, you figured you would have at least 5 full dining sets.

4. Took a mass amount of fruit from the DUC

You never knew when you would need a banana or grapefruit!

5. Attended First Friday

And felt instantly inspired to try out for an acapella group the following year.

6. Waited until the last week of PACE to use your one "skip class" pass

Self explanatory.

7. Walked to Chipotle because you were sick of DUC food.

This happened once a week. Or maybe twice.

8. Been anxious about enrollment times. Cried when you didn't get the classes you wanted.

You knew not the power of add/drop/swap.

9. Ran in to your RA at a party

Similar experience to the towel. But worse. Way worse.

10. Spent all of your Dooley dollars in one week.

Starbucks is good, but so is Twisted Taco. No wonder why you gained 15 pounds freshman year.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
