The first day of freshman year in college is a monumental moment in a young person's life. You are full of so much excitement and concern because college kids are always so cool right? Well, maybe. So here's a play by play of what the first day will look like at the University of Tennessee.

You jump out of bed ready for your first day of college (just like Jessica Day does every day!) The world is at the tip of your toes and you could not be excited. 8ams? They aren't even that bad! Then you walk out your dorm & well New Girl will tell you the rest....

1. Alright, I got this.

.

Pencils. Highlighters. Perfect outfit. Let's go take on the world!

2. Am I even in the right building?

HSS? JHB? Why is my UTK app not working!! They should post maps.

2. Oh, gosh I do not know anyone in my classes.

Hello, stranger in math! We are now friends! I'm sitting with you.

3. Everyone is wearing a t-shirt, but me.

In college, everyone goes to class looking like they are homeless.

3. Why is there an entire city of people on Ped Walkway?

SO. Many. People. Wow.

4. PCB? What?


Panama City Beach? What? That's the cafeteria? I'm SO hungry. How do I get there?

5. SO many new boys.

Was that my future husband? He's absolutely so beautiful. I have to marry him.

7. Wait, they don't take attendance? Like I don't have to come?

Act natural. Wow. This is so weird.

8. I really just want to talk to my mom

Oh, but my mom isn't here. No cookies waiting for you after your first day.

9. You decide to be productive in the library


This is what college kids do right? Wait how many floors are in this building? Oh wow, there's even a Starbucks!

10. When you successfully log in to Canvas & actually understand myUTk.

Don't forget you're activation codes & payment days!!

11. You get into your room and your roomie asks how your day is??

Change room to bed because now you are sharing a 10x7 square with someone else!

12. Time to get back in the extra small twin bed!


Overall, you'll tell yourself this: ready to do it all again tomorrow!!

The first day of college is shocking to anyone, but have no fear, you'll have UT down to a science in no time!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
