Ok freshman girls, this one is for you. We've been at school for almost a month now and during this time I've noticed a few things. So, I thought I would share some tips to help make this the best four years of your life and to avoid the typical freshman mistakes.

1) Do not wear crop tops to class

So, I have been seeing this a lot the past few weeks. I don't know why you are wearing your lace crop top from Saturday night to your 9am macro class. Just do not do it.

2) Get involved

As cliché as it sounds, get as involved as possible. I am heavily involved on campus and that is one of the reasons why I love Bryant so much. Take advantage of all the opportunities this school provides; you will not regret it.

3) Stop crying at the townhouses

I literally saw this the first weekend here on campus. Why are you crying? Stop getting upset over the boy on the football team you talked to for five minutes last week. You have four years here. Enjoy it! Be happy!

4) Do not call it the Last Resort

For those of you unaware, the Last Resort use to be named Effins. The name changed right before my freshman year, but I still call it Effins. No one, and I mean no one, calls it the Last Resort. It is Effins and only call it that.

5) Do not put your GFOB project off till the last minute

Since we are at college to learn, I figured I would give some academic advice. GFOB is a lot of work and takes a lot of time. It does not matter if you are in IB GFOB or regular GFOB; do not wait till the night before to finish your business plan, elevator pitch, or whatever. Just do it and do not put it off.

6) Do not wear high heels to the townhouses

Alright, I'll admit it. My freshman year I made the mistake of wearing black pumps to the townhouses. It was embarrassing. Wedges are acceptable, but if you really feel the need to wear pumps, save it for Effins. We do not want to see you falling down the stairs from Hall 14. We do not want to see you trip into the football house. We do not want to see you face plant in front of the whole OP block.

7) Stop dancing on the couches in the townhouses

That's my thing and you are taking my spot.

8) Stop denying you are a freshman

Upperclassman have a radar and we can detect a freshman when we see one. I do not know how we know, we just do. So if someone asks if you are a freshman, do not deny it. To be honest, we are all secretly sad that we are not reliving our freshman year, so just own it.

9) Stop wearing your lanyard around your neck

We are a month into school and if you are still sporting a lanyard around your neck, stop. To be honest, I am surprised no one has stopped you yet. A lanyard around the neck basically screams "I am a freshman".

10) At the end of the day, do whatever makes you happy

Take my advice or not, freshman year flies by so enjoy it while you can. Enjoy it because one day you will be a junior in denial that you are halfway done with college (this is totally not me...). If you take away one tip from me, it's do whatever makes you happy. Just remember this is a small school and word travels fast. So make smart choices, but have fun.
