What to expect at your freshman orientation

College Freshman orientation.

The days that you get to meet new people, get a better look at campus, get your ID, etc.

If your a resident, which you most likely are, then you already had your move in day and met your roommate for the first time. Now it's time to finally connect with them face to face.

Or if your like me, one of the few commuters, then you just got to know more about where to park your car, where your classes are, etc.

I don't know about you guys but I actually liked my freshman orientation. I got to meet a lot of new people including upper classmen.

My orientation consisted of lots of food, information sessions and towards the end of each day we got to attend a lot of fun activities.

So I your about to attend your college orientation, or your a high school senior, OR you just had yours and wanted to see if we had similar experiences then this is for you!

When you get to your college, they might split you up into groups or they might not. If you are in a group and feel nervous or whatever, don't be! Remember all these students are in the same boat as your in. They came from the same town as you or a different town, state, country etc. Tell them hi, they'll feel better that your breaking the ice and trying to get to know them. Or if someone is talking to you, pick up the conversation and continue it. Who knows they might be your new best friend.

Eat the food, because it's most likely going to be free!

Talk to upper classmen and staff! Ask them questions that you wanted to know about. They'll be happy to help.

If you get an information session about sexual harassment like I did, please please please be respectful, your an adult now you should know better. This is a very serious topic especially when it's concerning college, many women and men get raped or molested in college.

Lastly, have fun with your new friends. Get to know them better see if you have certain classes together so you can share notes and help each other study.

Remember stay safe, study hard, and have fun

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
