"Pitch Perfect" Friendships

Exploring how to make friends at college, according to "Pitch Perfect"

"Pitch Perfect" Friendships

It is a rare occasion that a single movie can nearly exactly capture a particular experience. One of the closest representations of the college experience, especially the process of making friends, is "Pitch Perfect." Somehow, in an hour and a half, it is completely able to chronicle the process of making new friends, which every college student, especially the freshmen, can relate to.

First, hey perfectly capture the roommate situation. Roommates, like all people, can range from perfectly harmless to downright scary. Hopefully, you've landed somewhere in between.


You might find yourself at a party, sometime soon after. Especially at Sewanee, this may be the easiest way to interact with people that you don't live with. Get out, meet new people, and have fun. Just make sure to know your limits when it comes to drinking.

You'll often feel the urge to find people who truly understand you as a person. When that is the case, you might have to go out of your comfort zone or try something totally new, a sport or activity perhaps, but who knows. You might end up love something you've never even heard of before.

Meeting new people can be an awkward, if not terrifying, event for a lot of people. "Pitch Perfect" teaches us that it is important to actually get out and try to find somewhere where you feel comfortable and people that you can feel comfortable with. College is your home away from home now, so you'll thank yourself when you finally meet people you have something in common with, even if it's just for a minute. Maybe you'll become fast friends.

Once you've found those people who let you be yourself and love you for it, that is where you are meant to be. These are the friends who will be around for years to come. And, if you're lucky, you just might make some amazing memories along the way.


Just hope that those memories don't involve flying Mexican food...

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
