30 Thoughts I've Had Moving In As A Second Year

Move-in weekend has come and gone in Hooville, and classes are finally starting. While all of the first years are completely lost, second years are doing a pretty good job at pretending that we have everything figured out. Here's some thoughts that I've had moving in as a Second Year.

1. The first years look so confused...

2. Wait, I have to cook now?

3. At least I can lose the Freshman 15.

4. "I'm a firs-I mean second year."

5. Thank goodness I don't have to go to all of those first year meetings again.

6. Is this apartment really all mine?

7. So, I'm not sharing this bathroom with ten other people?

8. Maybe I should go grocery shopping...

9. I'm so glad I finally have some space to myself.

10. But I do miss my suitemates...

11. We should have a suite reunion!

12. I feel like I should have my life together since I'm not a first year.

13. At least I know where everything is.

14. I still can't believe that I can have a car.

15. Is it weird to pack your lunch for school?

16. I have a feeling the bus system will be my best friend this year.

17. Oh my gosh this bathroom is huge!

18. Wait, I have to actually clean the bathroom.

19. I want to see everyone else's apartments!

20. There better not be any random fire alarms in the middle of the night in this apartment. (shoutout to CDF)

21. I have so many boxes to unpack, I don't even know where to start.

22. I'm really going to miss walking to Runk for an omelet.

23. First thing on my to do list: go see the Rotunda.

24. I wonder how far the walk is from here to the Corner...

25. Is this what being an adult feels like?

26. I'm going to Crossroads at 2AM just for old time's sake.

27. Okay, what should I eat for dinner?

28. Now I regret complaining about O'Hill dinner.

29. By this time last year, I had played 25 ice breaker games.

30. I can't believe I'm already a second year.

Welcome back class of 2019!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
