Sophomore year is great! You get back to campus and meet new freshman and reconnect with your friends from the year before. This year the nerves of starting school has worn off but not the glamor of college as a whole. New professors and new classes and students are sure to keep you on your toes.

1. Welcome weekend

Welcome weekend is so much better as a sophomore because you actually know people this time when you get onto campus. Getting back onto campus feels great after not seeing all the friends that you made freshman year is one of the best feelings ever. Welcoming kids onto campus is really fun and there are so many school dances and events that are a great entry into the next year of college.

2. Setting up your dorm room

After being at college for at least a year it is much easier to plan your dorm room set up because you know what to bring and what not to bring for the whole year. Also coordinating with your roommate is awesome because then your room is about fifteen times cooler than it was freshman year especially because you have pictures from college that you can display on your walls.

3. Finally getting to take major classes

This is one the parts of sophomore year because you get to start doing the things that you love and the reason that you went to college in the first place. It is also great getting real life experience in majors classes and learn about the field that you want to spend the rest of your life in. You become better equipped to handle the curveballs that are thrown by life.

4. The freshman

Getting to meet the new freshman is great way to start the year, hearing their stories and where they come from. The many initiations all around campus are much more fun if you are a sophomore and you know exactly what traditions are happening and seeing the freshman go through the same things that we did last year. It is great to see them become a part of the college that I know and love.

5. Deepening friendships

This is something that I am looking forward to this semester, deepening the friendships that I made last year. Getting to know the people in my classes better and making new friends and study groups is one of the best parts of college. Making friendships in college can last a lifetime so it is good to make sure that you get to know the people who surround you every day.
