Salisbury University Freshman Year Bucket List

As once being a SU Freshman I know what it's like. Having to deal with being the newbies in a brand new place all by yourself; It can even be a little scary at first! So here are a few things to help make some friends, or just de-stress from all of the workload. A bucket list to help make the year just a little bit more memorable!


1. Go to Cook Out late at night

This applies to the weekend mostly, but it's an experience all on its own.


2. Go to student night at Stratosphere

This is a great way to hang out with some friends for a little while, while also getting that exercise in! (Plus student night is cheaper!)

3. Spend a weekend in with your roommates

You are going to want to go out every night and go to all of the parties, but every now and again its okay to stay in! Take a minute and just relax and de-stress from all of the homework and just watch a movie with your squad!


4. Take a bunch of pictures with Sammy

Every school has that superstition of taking a picture with their mascot in order to do well every year, and personally I don't wanna find out if it doesn't work. However, you should take random pictures with Sammy anyway! Grab some friends and take some adorable pics.

5. Go to as many sporting events as you can

Considering your tuition and fees have already paid for it!

6. As well as theatre and cultural events

Once again, YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR IT! And all of the people involved would love to see your smiling faces enjoying the show! <3

7. Basically do everything that's free!

Free things are the best things! Being a broke college student, you take anything you can get.

8. Participate in Spring Olympics

It's actually pretty fun, and a great team building exercise for each building!

9. Go to 7-11 at 2am with your friends

Slurpees never tasted better!

10. Try all of the popular foods/drinks at Cool Beans and Gulls Nest

Trying new things can be scary, but it's also delicious.

11. Join at least one club or sport.

This is one of the biggest ways you can make friends on campus that you have things in common with! Whether it is a club, a sport, or even Greek life, you won't regret it!

12. Have a fancy dinner with friends.

Sometimes it's just fun to dress up and hang out with your friends. And just because you dress up really nicely doesn't mean you have to go to a fancy restaurant.

13. Throw a Netflix party and invite everyone in your dorm.

Is there a better way to make some friends than on your floor?

14. Actually study and get good grades

I mean, that is what we are all ultimately here for right?

15. But also,have fun

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
