My First Semester Of College

Short Answer: I died....multiple times

My First Semester Of College
AL

This semester has been a WONDERFUL semester and a phenomenal way to start off my college career. I am so grateful to say that I am going to my number one choice university and regret nothing. I have learned so much and had so much fun these past four months it is unbelievable.

I have actually been really lucky this semester by having a majority of phenomenal teachers who truly care about me and my success, so the classroom wasn’t too much of an issue (excluding the occasional 5-page paper, in which I literally died). I truly feel like I came here for education and got even more than that. I did well in my classes (as usual), but I feel everything I have learned in these classes I can take with me for the rest of my life.

The one thing about college is that it is truly is a fresh start, and you will have to make new friends and adjust to a new life. If you’re reading this, about to start college soon, don’t stress over becoming best friends with someone one week and then the next they’re gone. That’s just how it goes, but as time goes by you will slowly collect friends who will stay with you until the end and that’s all you truly need.

Now let’s talk about EXAMS. I am sorry to say this, but exams will kill you and that's okay. Once you finish, the university revives you free of charge! I was stressed out mostly because my exams were essays I had to turn in and I literally have the worst luck when it comes to timing. All my friends want to hit me up when I am working, not when I am free. Plus, I am the worst procrastinator ever so all-nighters were used.

All in all, it was a really good semester and I am truly grateful for being able to be here (just pray I passed all these exams). Let’s hope next semester goes just as well.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
