Why Welcome Week Is The Best Week

The biggest pregame before school starting.

After three months of being away from your home away from home, you know that it’s time to celebrate accordingly. If you don’t know what welcome week is, or have yet to experience it, I’ll give you a little glimpse of what one of the best weeks in college is like.

The Greatest Reunion Ever

After not seeing some of your best friends for a while, you can finally reunite and can pick up from where you started. Catching up is much needed.

New Faces

You get to meet all the incoming freshman, transfer students, and others you have never seen before.

An Excuse to Drink

It’s kind of like an annual holiday for college students, so yes alcohol just might be involved. (Yes, yes it will.)

Mini Vacation

You get this week to not have the stress with school, and to have a little down time before classes actually begin.

There Is Always Something

Just look out your window and follow the crowd of freshman and I’m sure it will lead you somewhere where Lil Yachty is playing.

You Just Can’t Say No

I’m talking about if you get asked to that party, GO. I promise Netflix will still be there when you get back.

A Constant Cycle Of Fun

You wake up, do all the fun things college students do which I probably shouldn’t mention in this, go to sleep, repeat.

The Memories

I still look back and laugh at all the moments from last welcome week, and I am HYPE to create new ones this year. They are unforgettable ones that you will cherish throughout the school year and always.

Everyone Is Happy

It is almost impossible to not be smiling during this week.


So for all of you incoming freshman, get ready for one of the best weeks of your life to kick-off the best years of your life too. Returning college students, you know what to do. Party accordingly, be safe, and always get that Uber. Cheers to the 2017-2018 school year.

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?
