School has started once again for the Trojans, and it is going to be a great year! There's an ICEE machine in the Trojan Center, we're rebuilding the wall, and construction is under way that will surely improve not only the quality of student life here at Troy, but the overall look of the campus as well. For those freshmen out there, welcome to Troy, and for the returning students, welcome back! Anything can happen at Troy University, but some of the most memorable, embarrassing, frustrating, and life-changing moments might happen during the first week of classes. Here are some of those moments as told by the popular 90s sitcom "Friends."
1. You go to the wrong class.
Why am I the only one here with a calculator? Oh, this isn't Pre-Cal.
2. You're late to class because you can't find a parking spot.
You know the parking situation will get better eventually, but for the first couple days it is ridiculous.
3. You get lost in a sea of syllabi.
Can't I just look at this on Blackboard later?
4. You drop/add a class.
I knew I shouldn't have registered for chemistry.
5. You remember Starbucks doesn't take flex points.
It gets to the point where you have to decide between having your daily coffee and having money.
6. You pay hundreds of dollars for your books just to find out you don't need half of them.
At least you can return them -- after standing in line at the bookstore for an hour.
7. You get assigned homework the first day of class.
I thought this was syllabus and get to know every one day?
8. You try to "figure out" your professors.
You learn the professor, you ace the class.
9. You start to see all of your friends again.
Hey, that girl sat in the row in front of me in US history last semester. Hi, friend.
10. You can't wait for football season to start.
Tailgates, Sound of the South, Fried Oreos, and T-time are all in the near future!
11. You remember how loud your neighbors are.
I didn't know a herd of rhinos lived above me.
12. You start to think about your daily priorities.
Go to class, pay your bills, keep track of your assignments, avoid mean girl from world lit.
13. You go to Saga ASAP for the ice cream and pizza.
It is never ending and it is glorious.
14. You realize that you have to adult.
I can wear sweatpants to class -- right?
15. You finally get something from Einstein's again and it is heavenly.
Cinnamon streusel muffins and strawberry banana smoothies have my heart.
16. You realize it's great to be a Troy Trojan!
Have a great year everyone and Go Trojans!
