The things that will be talked about in this article are extremely personal and I hope that many people can relate to these thoughts as being a student at Idaho State University. I will talk about 25 things that have gone through my head as a student of Idaho State University. They will be in order of freshman thoughts and progress to my now senior thoughts.
Freshman year thoughts:
1. "Wow, this school is not nearly as diverse as they portray it to be."
2. "I can't believe that I ended up at a University where there is literally nothing to do."
3. "Why the hell are all these people staring at me?"
4. "There are so many 'Mohammads' in my art class."
5. "I am so excited for my first college football game this Saturday."
6. "Is this really football?"
7. "Why the hell is it so hard to get up for my eight in the morning math class?"
8. "I feel like I only drink four locos."
9. "Why don't I EVER know what is going on, on campus?"
10."Wait, that homecoming event was today?"
Sophomore year thoughts:
11. "Well, freshman year sucked but I know this year will be better."
12. "I am happy that I am starting to get involved with clubs so I can do more stuff."

20. "I am so happy I got my lazy ass up for service Saturday, this is really fun."
21. "I think I am actually starting to figure myself out."
22. "Who the hell am I anymore?"
