Ahhh, Freshmen Year... Here Are 10 Things I Learned That I'll Carry With Me The Next Three

In This Article:

Thanks, freshman year, it's been real.

1. Go Greek

Go Greek!!! You will meet so many new girlfriends your first month!

2. Limit your going out

I get it. AGR has Thursday nights, Lambda has wine Wednesdays, and every other frat has parties Friday and Saturday night, but give your liver some time to rest.

3. Talk to the people on your floor

This will make floor meetings less miserable and every other floor thing. Just do it.

4. Spend some weekends here in MHK

I get it, going home to see your dog and eat your mom's cooking is the best, but some of your best friends will be made unexpectedly here.

5. Just do it

Go on the late night Walmart run, order Pizza Shuttle, and eat the ice cream in The Derb.

6. The frat party bathroom line is THE PLACE to be

Boost your self-confidence and make a new Snapchat friend at the same time. The bathrooms — horrible, but the memories - great.

7. The freshmen 15 is not a joke

Even if Becky tells you its a lie, it is indeed not!! The Derb dessert table will come back and haunt you along with the Union's Chick-Fil-A.

8. Your friend group will change

The people you were friends with at the beginning of the year, probably won't be the same people you're friends with half way through, but that's totally OK.

9. Don't take an 8 a.m.

You will regret it every Thursday morning after a wine Wednesday, every winter morning when it's too cold to walk across campus, and generally, every day you have to wake up early. Trust me.

10. Check, double check, triple check, and quadruple check your final times

Honestly, trust me on this one. A 0/50 on your final and an unsympathetic professor suck. Check the time.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
