11 Thoughts Hokies Have During Freshman Week, But They're All 'New Girl' .GIFs

Freshman year is all about learning new things about yourself and that includes how you manage living in a dorm room and being on your own. There's nothing better than jumping off the edge that first week and going head first and seeing where you land.

But regardless of where you land, during your flight, I promise that these 11 thoughts will cross your mind!

"Whoa, where did all these guys come from?"

Giphy

For some reason, my hometown population of guys just got increasingly smaller. It's as if it turned into a puddle compared to this ocean of boys that college has to offer all of the sudden. SCORE!!

"Wait, which room is mine again?"

Giphy

Nothing is worse than walking into the wrong dorm room your first week. But hey, you can always play it off like you meant to do it and just introduce yourself. Own It

*Sees dorm room for the first time* "Wow, so much room for activities!"

Giphy

Haha. That's cute.

*Sees your hall mates after that "Welcome Freshman" party*

Giphy

That jungle juice made everyone seem like they're your new best friend so naturally, hugs for everyone!!!

"Wait, why did I pick such a BIG school?!"

Giphy

Yeah, let me HIKE across the Drillfield from Pritchard to NCB. OR just hike anywhere at Tech — it's that big.

*Goes to first class* *Comes Back to dorm room*

Giphy

Who said that college was fun? I just wanna talk

"Do people actually use signs to tell their mates that they can't come in?"

Giphy

It's always funny to see one roomie sitting in the hall waiting for a guest to leave their room. Or better yet, when you hear someone yell "Get out!" because the other one didn't get the memo.

"Dude, I thought I was going to miss home cooked meals."

Giphy

You might as well get used to lying to your momma because there's no way you can miss a home cooked meal when you go to Virginia Tech. Best. Food. Ever.

"How does one flirt in college?"

Giphy

Seriously? How does it work?

"Damn, I really should have hit that summer work out that I saved on Pinterest."

Giphy

I thought I was in shape but I guess all the IG models decided to come to Virginia Tech this year because I swear I'm the only potato.

"Wait, it's only been one week?"

Giphy

the first week goes by so fast but so slow at the same time. I would say it changes but... well, good luck Charlie.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
