A First-Year's First Week In Pictures

A First-Year's First Week In Pictures

A week ago today, I moved in to Bryn Mawr College. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so this week, I am going to share my first week of college with something slightly more visually appealing than words. Here are a few snapshots from my first week and semi-witty captions for your scrolling pleasure.

The sun sets behind Haverford College's Stokes Hall and on summer. College has made my thoughts so prolific.

This cupcake. Just...this cupcake.

When that girl who literally can't swim passes the swim test, she tells everyone. I mean everyone.

Soft serve in Haff. Praise Athena.

Anyone else feel like they're in Genovia, like, all the time here?

PSA: Kate made friends(!!!)

I mean, come on. It's Genovia.

Rhodes is aesthetic af.

The sun sets on the Mawr.

Thinking of changing my focus from English to architecture, with a specialization in Lego dinosaur abodes. Thoughts?

Guys, I met Havercat and I completely fangirled. And scared him away. It was worse than when I met Shaq.

Reminder #562 that my roomies are my everything.

Bryn Mawr! Bryn Mawr! Bryn Mawr!

To everyone who has made my first week so amazing, from my more-than-lovely Customs People to my Hall Dad to my new friends and professors. You all rock, and I can't wait for the next four years of Erdman French toast sticks, study sessions in the Campus Center, and late night walks from Haverford. Maybe not that last one, though.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
