12 Moments That Freshman Have
The College Whisperer


1. Writing scholarships and making weird connections to it

"Milk has impacted my life because it has been proven to protect me from cancer and asteroids from hitting my body. I am also very poor because of having to buy milk so this scholarship will help pay for my bills for college."

College students are desperate to get money for college as much as they can, and will write pretty much everything in order to not have as much loans as we can.

2. Okay, okay people seem to know each other just focus on the food and then get to the meeting people later

You go through the motions because you have to not look like someone who does not have friends.

3.You hung out with only your roommate for the first day

If you were anything like me your roommate was one of the only 3 people you were acquainted with in the school at first.

4. Forcing yourself to think that freshman orientation is a must and that you cannot sleep in and skip it

In my orientation everyone was from my major so I changed my classes to be with the same group of girls.

5. Everyone checks up on you on your first week, and it’s not only your parent- cousins, aunts, any family friend that reports back to your mom

Did you make it to all your classes on time? Have you done all your homework? Titi it’s syllabus week nothing exciting has happen yet.

6.You get so excited that you can have your own diet and eat everything your mom said was once in a blue moon.

You start to miss home and miss your mom’s cooking. You begin to understand why pizza everyday is not actually a good thing. Where's my arroz con gandules?!?

7. I love my major!! I took that one class in high school, must be the same

Family members "Oh so your not studying ___ anymore"

50% of college students change their major at least once during college, because you are not the same person you were in high school. This is only natural. If you do not end up changing your major, then that is perfectly okay too.

8. No one is there to watch you come back home because in college there are no babysitters, especially living in the dorms.

Man I’m gonna regret this....

This is when you realize that staying up watching an entire series on Netflix with your friends the night before classes was actually a bad idea. You learned the value of something called time management.

9. I NEED NAP TIME. Nap before homework. Nap before going out. Nap in between classes. Naps are essential.

10. Psych club? Sure! Newman Club? Yes! Dance club? Why not?! Poetry club? I write! Tea club? I like tea.

Turns into... 2am still haven’t finished that paper

12. In college, for almost every event there is a free t-shirt included.

Another Free T-shirt about the student center? I mean I guess

I mean who doesn’t need another pajama shirt? Get them in x large!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
