College Explained: Freshman Year vs. Senior Year
Google

Hello everyone. I know it has been a long while since I have written on here, but I am back. Since it is the new year, I am going to bring about the difference between freshman year in college and senior year in college.

1. You procrastinate going back to school. Most freshmen arrive in their college town early (a week early). Seniors, on the other hand, arrive until the last minute to come back to college.

2. You hit the snooze button 1,000,000 times. You could not sleep the night before your first day of freshman year because you were too excited for the next day. By the time senior year rolls around, you stop caring.

3. Sweatpants are the Holy Grail. When you were a freshman, you laid out your clothes the night before after trying out everything in your closet. In senior year, all the cute outfits are replaced by sweatpants.

4. No new friends. Being a freshman means you get to meet new people and find your clique. When you are a senior, you've already found your friends. No need to try and make a bunch of new friends in your senior year.

5. Anxiety kicks in. Freshmen do not have to worry about their future at the moment. However, on their first day of senior year, they will be filled with questions that need answers.

As you go through freshman year, consider what you want to do with life before you get to senior year.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
