College Life As Understood By Elle Woods

Don't let people undermine your intelligence.

College Life As Understood By Elle Woods

Elle Woods changed my life growing up, she instantly became one of my role models, a face for justice. As a child, she inspired me to become apart of the social science community of Journalism and of Law. But, I must not forget style. Most importantly, Elle taught me that I could do anything even if i am doubted by my own peers.

There is only one way to start and end the day: listening to catchy songs that make you feel special, like “Perfect day” by Hoku.

You get excited at the slightest opportunity so when things don’t go as planned academically or socially you can’t help but lose your cool in public.

You have an emotional breakdown after your test because half of what you studied for wasn’t even on it?

Introducing yourself for the first time always goes better than you think.


Sometimes you need to escape campus life because, you start needing a sense of reality to remind you why you are at school to begin with.

When you are forced to participate in a group project, so you try to find people you don’t know. It is not like grade school where the teacher will pair you up. You will have to deal with difficult personalities and not let it affect your success. Even in the most prestiges of schools you will find that people are the same and that you are in charge of where you go with the right attitude leading the way.

You’re constantly trying new things and it sucks when things don’t happen how you pictured them to. Sometimes you have to take a step back and realize it is for the best after all. Next week an opportunity will interrupt your life and you will forget your original plan.


Believe it or not everyone is at college for a reason so don’t make your experience any less valuable because someone doubts your intelligence. In a couple of years everyone who attends college will graduate with some kind of debt and a different major so don't let the narrow mindsets of others change your perspective. People will always try and find weakness.

You realize that you’ve grown so much by the second half on your freshman year that you are becoming more capable of handling the most difficult of people and situations. Minimizing your role in drama surrounding those who didn't bother to make you important is just the beginning of becoming a good role model.

In order to stand out, you have to be yourself no matter what others think. Don’t let the judgments of others change your personality. If wearing bright colors in a dull colored room offends anyone they are seriously disturbed.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
