By the end of their first semester at the University of Kentucky, there are some things that every freshman just gets. Living on a college campus, going to lectures with over three-hundred people, and being an adult aren't always easy adjustments. Caturdays, Chick-Fil-A in the new student center, and not having class until 11 a.m., however, definitely are. Between the K Lot and the variety of accents ranging from southern to northern, and from walking an excessive number of miles on the daily to literally living off of granola bars and stolen bananas from the dining hall, here are ten things every UK Freshman understands on a deeper level:
Getting intense calf muscles
After walking eight miles a day at some points during K Week, Sorority Recruitment, and Orientation, you somehow develop defined calf muscles.
People being from random counties
When meeting new people the first few weeks, every student being from Louisville, NKY, Chicago, or some county in Kentucky that you've never heard of.
Getting sick of dining hall food
While the 90 and Champions Kitchen are fine for the first month or so, around the end of September the wrap station and Mexican bowls lose their taste and become inedible.
Running out of flex money
Between getting multiple Starbucks drinks a day to eating at Chick-Fil-A way more than is reasonable, your flex dollars disappear.
Trekking across campus to get your car
Walking all the way to K Lot from your dorm for a five-minute drive.
Nonexistent parking
Having to move your car for Caturday and driving around for way too long trying to find a parking space.
The lextran being impossible
Getting stuck on the lextran for thirty-minutes because you don't know how it works.
The dorm laundry machines are always broken
Because the laundry machines in every dorm on campus are always either broken or full, you never have clean clothes to wear.
Lexington's unpredictable weather
Having to keep an umbrella on you at all times just in case Lexington decides to be rainy that day.
Tour groups everywhere you turn
Last but not least, seeing tour groups walking around the 90 and the Willy T Starbucks and saying"that's so weird" out loud every time, even though you've only been in college for a few months yourself.
