I never quite understood why orientation exists. Yet, it seems that every institution on this planet has them. Thus, it's no surprise that college also has one, in fact, the longest most orientation is the orientation of them all. College orientation is one heck of challenge physically, mentally, and emotionally - providing a perfect transition to college!

1. Wear gym shoes. Like actual Nikes or something, because you'll do so much cardio that you'll consider taking up cross country.

2. Wear polarized sunglasses. This way no one can tell if your eyes are open are closed during speeches, convocation, etc.

3. Bring hand sanitizer. You'll be shaking so many hands and holding so many free goodies, you can never be too safe.

4. Prepare your facial muscles. With all the smiling and awkward self-introductions, your cheeks will ache like they never have before.

5. Finally, despite this facial pain, bring your smile. Even though you still might not have wifi and your roommate might be borderline creepy, remember that you made it!
