Rookie Mistakes You'll Still Make Junior Year

No worries freshman, you're not alone.

Rookie Mistakes You'll Still Make Junior Year
University of Delaware

Freshman, you're not alone. As we enter the Fall 2016 semester, we juniors are scrambling around like chickens with our heads cut off too. It's almost as if the clocks were turned back two years because we are oddly unfamiliar with the campus. Between moving out of the dorms into new homes, learning to adult (i.e. food shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc.), and realizing graduate school applications are quickly approaching, we juniors are beginning this school year quite flustered.

So if you happen to notice students making these rookie mistakes on campus, do not just assume they are freshman because they may just as well be the confused juniors of the world.

1. Walking into the wrong class on the first day


2. Googling the campus map to find the building your class is in


3. Setting your class schedule as your lock screen


4. Misjudging how long it takes to walk to class, so you show up super early or super late


5. Forgetting what times your classes are


6. Answering questions the first week of classes and being the first name your professors learn


7. Trying to go to the gym at the beginning of the year --> constantly standing around waiting for machines


8. Realizing you forgot a million things at home when you unpack


9. Microwaving ramen for dinner even though you have a full kitchen



10. Showing up to parties the first weekend with every friend you've ever met in college

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

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…

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.
