Your First Year Of College As Told By 'Talladega Nights'

My Free Wallpapers

Your first year of college comes with a lot of emotions and new experiences. From the mysterious food in the dining halls to bonding with friends, the freshman year is one of the toughest years of college. The American classic that is "Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby" can perfectly describe the ups and downs of maneuvering that first year.

1. When you and your roommate can finally get weird with each other

Recommended for you

You're going to be spending some SERIOUS time together over the next 10 months. Time to get comfortable.

2. Realizing time is key when it comes to getting a good seat in class

If you don't believe me, try showing up to your 100 person geology lecture with three minutes to spare.

3. Bragging to your classmates when you pass the test everyone else failed

You're not sure how you did that either, but you're rolling with it.

4. That first drunken make out that none of your friends will ever let you live down

It was embarrassing and a little hazy. Never fear, your pals definitely snapped the whole thing.

5. The moment when you've had one too many cups of coffee during your all-nighter

Your body is tingling and you're sleep deprived, but damn it if you didn't finish that paper.

6. That one freshman who thinks he's The Hulk after two drinks

This should be fun to watch, stick around and enjoy the show.

7. And finally, doing whatever it takes to meet the word count on your final

You've had 25 words left for three hours. JUST END IT ALREADY.

"Talladega Nights" is one the most iconic movies of our time, and completely applicable in any situation.

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

By: James McDonald

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part.

However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
