10 Things Every College Freshman Doesn't Realize They Need
The Cavan Project

1. Snacks

For the days you're studying and accidentally miss a meal.

2. Study buddy

Someone to keep you on track and there when you forget something (like your keys, or homework).

3. Some kind of transportation

When you have to run from one end of the campus to the other and don't have the time.

4.Caffeine

In many different forms but is there for you when you have to study long nights or stay awake during classes.

5. A loud alarm clock

Start off your day early/ on time with a loud alarm rather than stumbling out of bed 10 minutes late because no alarm went off.

6. An umbrella or coat

For the days you get stuck across in a downpour because you didn't drive to class.

7. Your ID

You never know when you'll need it or if you may have a class get cancelled so the lunch you couldn't get earlier is now back on the table.

8. Good pair of sweatpants or PJ pants

For the times you need to roll out of bed and go to class, at least you're pants will be nice sweat pants and not old embarrassing ones from when you were 10.

9. Slippers

These are needed whenever you want to walk around the dorm halls if you don't want to actually put shoes on. Comes in handy very often with resident meetings.

10. Something to relax

This can come in the form of reading, watching Netflix or getting a group of friends together to play a sport. This is really needed but every student needs time to wind down because the best way to study is to be relaxed and take your time, not freak out and try to all at once. So take a break and relax.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
