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!

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
