1. You always avoid the seal

Yeah... Don't step on it. Just don't do it.


2. You hate VCU

Since ODU and VCU have been basketball rivals for a long time, we just simply don't associate with them.


3. You don't ever buy books from the bookstore

Amazon or Chegg usually are better options, unless you absolutely have to buy your book from the bookstore.


4. You probably live off campus

Due to ODU having hardly any on-campus housing, a majority of housing goes to freshmen.


5. You know the difference between "The Cafe" and "Broderick"

R.I.P. Cafe 1201.


6. You're almost always hungry for Pizza Hut or Panda Express

A lot of times in cold weather, you find yourself walking through the Webb more often. If it's during lunch hour, you'll probably feel the need to eat Panda or a personal pizza.


7. You've stopped by Del Vechs for a slice at 2 A.M.

Del Vecchios is the best spot at ODU to eat when you're out. They stay open late, and even better, they're cheap!


8. You refer to the library as "Club Perry"

"Will you be at Club Perry tonight?"


9. You know that if you're in a hurry to not stop by Einstein's, even for just a bagel and cup of coffee

We all know that Einstein's is not the place to go for a quick snack. We only go here if we know we'll be in the library for a while.


10. You know that if it's a Thursday night, all of your friends over 21 are at Mojo's for Crush Night, otherwise, they're at The Edge

You hear all about it all the time. If you're anything like me, you're counting down the days until you can join them.


11. You've ridden the lion

Why? Because you should.


12. You're always hitting up Freshmen for swipes

Not everyone has a meal plan, especially those who live off campus, so this is crucial.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
