How My First Week Of College Went Like

It went something like this.

How My First Week Of College Went Like
Hanna Akpan

After finishing my first week of college, I got to say it has been a very interesting time and it’s only being a week since I have been in College and so much has happened. I guess I will begin with Move in day.

Move-in Day

After waking up at 2 in the morning to make it here by 7 am, only to move into my new home for the next year, I got to say it was a long process, but once everything was put together I was pretty happy. I got to finally meet my roommate and say goodbye to my mom, and see old friends I met three weeks ago at Math camp. Once settled in, I was excited for was in store.

Welcome Week

Welcome Week was very interesting as well. Imagine seeing 5,000 lost and confused freshman students looking for their small groups and then all of a sudden a rainstorm from hell comes out of nowhere only to shower you down while you are wearing a White t-shirt and shorts. Got to love Tennessee weather J! Overall my favorite part of welcome week would probably have to the club fair Friday night. I’m excited to check two clubs for sure and meet new people

Classes

It wouldn’t be a full week of college if I didn’t mention how my classes were. I really enjoy how my classes are set up. I’m done with class on Mondays and Fridays by 12:05pm and then Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I have a 2-hour break and then my last class finishes at 3:25pm which honestly isn’t that bad. Most of my professor are pretty cool, and I’m sure Math is going to kick my ass since my math professor has a very thick accent, but we’ll see what happens. I’m just glad I made it through the first week without missing class (thank god for coffee am I right?)

People

I think the last thing I have really experienced this week is all the different people I have met on campus. It is crazy to go from having 2500 people around me to 30,000 but I also like that because you can always meet new people all the time and see all types of people. With different stories, different lives, and different experience of life and I really think that’s why college is a cool time to go through because you get expose to people of all different types.

I can’t wait to see how the next few weeks go, but if I can make it through the first week I think I can make it through the next four years.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
