The NCSU Freshman 15

Mar 04, 2015

If there is one thing that I've learned from my first year of college, it's that the life of Freshman here at State is very distinct. We all go through just about the same experiences and possess pretty much the same qualities.

The problem is, is that you don't realize you're the stereotypical State freshman until you're either writing an article about it or after your second semester. But that's beside the point, you can still rest assure that a large chunk of the Wolfpack family has gone through what you did as a Freshman.

So for all of the incoming Freshman, here is what you can expect. For all of the seasoned upperclassman, here is a list to reminisce about:

1. Joining the herd of other freshman walking to Maiden Lane during the first week of college.
because, college parties... right?

2. Getting honked and yelled at by people in cars on Hillsborough Street.
...there may be eggs involved.

3. Fountain's mediocracy amazes you.
The food is subpar, but the convenience is unbeatable.

4. ...but Case breakfast though...
That's where it's at.

5. Tailgates: Red, White, and Bojangles Cups.
And no, it's not sweet tea in the cup.

6. The draw-string bag you got during orientation = one of the most convenient things ever.
As much as you hate to admit it, you have definitely used it a couple of times.

7. You think no one notices you looking up a map on your phone when looking for your classes...
but it's pretty obvious.

8. Taking obnoxious pictures with the wolves...

9. ...and Scotty McCreery...
Instagram likes go through the roof.

10. Feeling like a badass when you walk into a bar for the first time...
until your ID gets taken.

11. 11:59pm...
is your worst nightmare on WebAssign.

12. OrderUp and D.P. Dough can solve anything...
*Warning* you may go broke.

13. One of your biggest goals is to get on wolfpacksnaps...
Until your RA sees what you post and gets you in trouble for it... (Yes, that happened.)

14. Your key lanyard never leaves your side.

15. "We're the red and white from State and we know we are the best..... go to hell Carolina...... go State!"
You'll eventually learn it.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
