Five Differences Between Freshmen And Sophomores
Purdue University

Everyone remembers their freshman year of college. Everything seemed so new and exciting, and everyone was trying so hard to do well. Things tend to change after freshman year - people stop trying so hard, people stop going to class, and people get annoyed by the littlest things. Here are some differences between freshmen and sophomores.

1. On the first day of classes


Freshman: “I really hope the professor doesn’t give homework the first day.”

Sophomore: “I really hope this class doesn’t last the full 50 minutes.”

2. On clubs


Freshman: "I'm joining ten different clubs!"

Sophomore: “How many clubs can I quit before it becomes unacceptable?"

3. On the first test


Freshman: “I studied for four hours; I hope it was enough!”

Sophomore: “I didn’t even look at my notes; I’m just going to wing it.”

4. On classes


Freshman: “I’m going to leave a half hour before my class so I can’t possibly be late.”

Sophomore: “I’m waking up five minutes before my class. I might not even go.”

5. On food


Freshman: “I’m so excited to never have to cook!”

Sophomore: “Do I have to have a meal plan?”

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
