11 Things To Do By The End Of Freshman Year

We are currently halfway through April and that means the semester is almost over. For us lucky freshman, that means that a pivotal year in our lives is almost over as well. There are some things you have to do before you leave the school in 3 weeks time.

1. Go to Zinneken's

If you didn't go with your DataMatch back in February, you need to walk over to the famous waffle place. It is good for any time of day. For those freshmen in the quad, this could be the last time you're willing to make the trek all the way down Mass. Ave


2. Go to a Study Break

Your proctors and PAFs put a lot of effort to give you lucky freshmen food every week and you should take advantage of their creativity. Plus, this is one of the last places you can bond with your freshmen entryway


3. Get a Milkshake at Boston Burger Company

Honestly, if you haven't gotten a milkshake yet, you are seriously missing out and should immediately seek help for your lack of love of the best food out there.


4. Take a Selfie with John Harvard

Some of us think that we are too cool when it comes to pictures with John Harvard. However, it's really a right of passage for every Harvard student to document their lives here with a picture with Johnny


5. Jump in a Tourist's Picture

To add on with all of the John Harvard Statue's fun, us Harvard students are special since we have so many tourists wandering around campus. Don't deny it, we've all wanted to photobomb a picture of some unsuspecting tour group. So do it.


6. Leave ur dorm at 1:06 for a 1 pm class

We only have a week left of school and this is the last time we can truly appreciate Harvard time. No matter what House we are in next year, we can't leave this late for a class ever again. Leave at 1:06 for a 1 pm, or 12:06 for a 12 pm, or 11:06 for a 11...


7. Jump in the Charles River

Although this activity is better suited for August, it is one that you need to be able to tell your friends and family about when you get home. It is a right of passage for every Harvard Student, so wait until it gets a little warmer in May and release all your finals stress by jumping!


8. Eat Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner all in One Day at the Berg

We are all guilty of not taking full advantage of the best dining hall in the world. The food may be average, but the aesthetics are out of the world. Since it is only for freshmen, these are the last few days we can appreciate time with our class before we all begin eating at our houses.


9. Complete the 2 AM Greasy Food Quadfecta

Harvard Square at 2AM is essential in every college student's life. Greasy american food (Tasty Burger), greasy italian food (Pinnochio's), greasy chinese food (Hong Kong) and greasy mexican food (Felipe's) is all readily available at the place we call home. If you haven't been to all four spend ur next couple weeks going and enjoying yourself. You are in college after all.


10. Watch all the Harvard Movies

Get your blocking group and have a movie night watching The Social Network, Legally Blonde, Love Story and all other great movies based on Harvard. These are your last few weeks with them until August, so appreciate the time you have left.


11. Get out of the Harvard Bubble!

Although Harvard is great, you are also leaving behind the great city of Boston! Go to Fenway Park, shop on Newbury Street, walk the Freedom Trail; there are things for everyone!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
