The Life Of Freshmen At WNE

The odd adventures of freshman year.

The Life Of Freshmen At WNE
Brooke Barup

There is a lot of things that I never thought I would be involved in, and none of them involve being a part of campus activities. Since it's been about 11 weeks since school started, a couple friends and I have weekly Walmart trips because there is always something that gets forgotten that is needed on a regular basis. Half of those trips involve fish (we might have a fish problem), but it's all for the fun of things. There's been people walking in on other people changing or going to the bathroom once every two weeks or so.

Staying up too late has become the ultimate issue when it comes to school nights and 8 am classes. You just don't do it. The thing about 8 am's is that getting up is a problem and you know that if you wake up at 7:30 a.m. you won't have time to eat and really relax and enjoy the morning because you're rushing (happens to me every single time). My conclusion about 8 am's is that they make you gain that freshman 15 because after being in class for 80 mins, you get more hungry than you started, meaning excessive eating.

Once it hits October the maintenance people shut off the air conditioning and it's still so hot that you could have a sauna in your own room for no charge at all. Those late night McGangBangs from McDonald's and Walmart trips that might be a suicide mission are on the top of my list when it comes to things you should never do, but you do it anyway.

In the words of my friends "We saved fish from Walmart and they're happier now."

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
