Welcome Week At Troy University

Summer is over, and it is that time of year again. Classes will soon begin on Troy University's beautiful campus. During the first week of school, Troy University and its on-campus organizations will have their annual Welcome Week. Welcome Week helps students settle in and get excited about the upcoming school year. This year, Welcome Week for Troy University will take place from Saturday, August 8 until Saturday, August 15.

Attending welcome week was an important part of my freshman year. Welcome Week allowed me to talk to on-campus organizations, get involved, meet other students, and feel more comfortable with my new surroundings at Troy.

Welcome Week is not only for freshmen, but is also a great opportunity for upperclassmen to become more involved, meet the new students, and have a little fun. Below is this year's Welcome Week Schedule.

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.
