22 Activities For The Auburn Student Who Never Knows What To Do

auburn.edu

New year, same school right? Everyone knows that Auburn University is the loveliest village on the plains, but sometimes it's hard to decide what to do on a daily basis. Here are a few ideas...

1. Have a picnic on Samford lawn or throw the frisbee around in front of the most iconic Auburn building

You know you've always secretly wanted to do this. You see random people doing it all the time and it just looks so... Auburn.

2. Go hike at Chewacla

It's super cheap. It's super fun. It's a place to think and explore and see some ~NEATure~

3. Climb the fire tower in Tuskegee

Kind of dangerous. Kind of hard to find. But so so so so fun if you go with a group of friends.

4. Go on a bike ride on the Auburn bikes

They're free, and it's an easy way to get from one place to another looking v Auburn.

5. Try and attend a game/match/meet for every winter/spring Auburn team

I know we love our football, but people, gymnastics, track and field, tennis, softball, baseball, swimming and diving, equestrian, basketball and golf all have events going on between now and when school gets out for summer. Let's show some school pride!!! War Eagle!!!

6. Eat at every single Mexican restaurant in the Auburn/Opelika area

There has to be at least 10, right?

7. Buy an ice cream sandwich at Toomer's

8. Go bowling

9. Go skating

10. Spend sunset at the Red Barn

11. Go see a new movie

12. Shop downtown

13. Find a way to get to the Eagle's Nest on top of Haley

14. Actually talk to someone who is passing stuff out on the concourse

15. Ride around in your car with a group of friends and yell "Kiss her!!!!" at random couples walking home from downtown

16. Go to a UPC open mic night

17. Become an Über driver

18. Apply and get involved with an organization on campus

19. Dance with the sweet lady who plays music at the front of the Chick-fil-A line

20. Climb Foy

21. Yell "War Eagle!" at a tour of potential students

22. Spend more time studying this semester than you did last semester

See how many you can do before school get's out for the summer!! War Eagle!!

13 Thoughts College Students Have On The First Day Of Class

Syllabus week doesn't exist.

Hunter College

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1282

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2626

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
