7 Ways To Spot Freshman

1. They immediately write their newly given emails on everything and don't realize how much of a colossal mistake that is yet. Do not give your email to every one that ask at the Org fair. Its a trap.

2. They are caring paper print outs of their schedules with the room numbers on it, hard core squinting at buildings for markings to distinguish which one is which. (Is this the engineering building or science building??!) Honestly just ask an upperclassman. Make a friend!

3. They are legitimately Running to class...no just no. It honestly wasn't necessary senior year of high school and it Definitely isn't now. So just don't. Take the L and be a few minutes late. 90% of the time your Professor won't care.

4. They accidentally call their Professor "Mr/s". Fastest way to accidentally insult and annoy a professor. just stick to "Professor" or "Doctor" if you have to.

5. They are wearing all of their high school apparel. My favorite is the letter man jacket you pay so much for, probably wear the first week of school, and then bury in your closet until you go back to your high school for Homecoming.

6. When a sorority or fraternity member approaches them their first reaction is equivalent to avoiding someone sneezing in their direction because their only exposure to Greek life thus far has been Animal House and Neighbors. Thank you Zack Efron for that wonderful introduction....(sarcasm)

7. The phrase "Thirsty Thursday" might as well be a foreign holiday they have never heard of, and drinking during the week sounds just as bad as making out with the preachers daughter in their heads and they just seem appalled at the thought. Don't worry freshman, give it about a month or two and you will be surprised how fast your learning curve is.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

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?
