It's that time of year again, kids. FROG week is so close we can almost taste the Natty Light (and smell it everywhere in Forest). For those of you unaware, FROG week is the week before classes start, designated for first year students to get acclimated to college life...but for JMU upperclassmen, it's the time relive our glory days and pretend that we, ourselves, are still freshman (because let's face it: at heart, we still are <3). Here's a timeline of the events we've not-so-patiently waited for all summer.

1. The car is packed full of things you probably won't need and you're ready to make the trek to Harrisonburg! But before you go, your parents *jokingly* make a comment somewhere along the lines of "I bet you can't wait to go party with your friends." You just smile and say no Mom, i'm just really excited to start studying! Ha ha...ha...

2. The Exit 245 sign comes into view and you are FINALLY home! You walk into your new off-campus apartment, thinking how much better this year will be now that #dormlife is behind you.

3. After your roommate reunion settles down, you catch the moves for tonight. But wait – it’s themed??

4. You're so eager that you start getting ready right then and there. And then catch a glimpse of yourself in real makeup for the first time in months and think "DAMN I look good"...

...but quickly tear yourself away from the mirror because the pregame is already going and IT'S PARTY TIME.

5. So you get there and start greeting every human you come in contact with as if they were your best friend from middle school that you haven't seen in years.

6. Then you campaign for everyone to pick you for their beer pong team...

...and are devastated when you lose.

7. But it's ok because then you walk into your favorite frat house like "honey, i'm home!"

8. And once again, you're back blowing up snapchat with your friends on the dance floor.

9. You proceed to repeat this course of events the next night...and the next...and the next..sorry not sorry.

10. And as your Mr. J's bagel resurrects you on Sunday morning, you sullenly realize that FROG week has come to a close...but sylly week is right around the corner :)

It's good to be back.
