What I Learned My Freshman Year

-Rain/Snow boots are necessary.

-It’s okay (& accepted) to not go out and get drunk every Thursday night

-Take Vitamin C (especially when you start to eat Dining Hall food)

-Go to class! No one ever skips “just this once”.

-Earplugs would have been nice to buy.

-Stock up on snacks. Can you say BJs?

-You make the best friends of your life.

-The RAs are awesome!

-ONLY BRING WHAT YOU NEED! (Or you will be either out of space, or lugging trash bags of useless stuff home every weekend. I did both)

-Not just dummies use the tutor center

-Arrive 45minutes ahead of time to Bingo

-The Freshman 15 is very real.

-Buy disposable plates & cups. You won’t want to do dishes. Especially in a bathroom sink.

-Netflix is amazing.

-Board games are great time killers.

-There really isn’t much to do on the weekends. Yes they lied.

-Make sure you have first aid! Advil, band-aids, Neosporin, Benadryl, cold meds, etc. All very valuable in college.

-Try out different clubs and activities; you don’t know you won’t like it until you give it a chance!

-Getting an on-campus job opens up so many opportunities!

-Procrastination is an art

-You get along with your family so much better now that you don’t live there.

-Stumbleupon (as beautiful & amazing as it is) is your mortal enemy.

-Don’t buy a lanyard. You most likely won’t use it and will get something more practical.

-DON’T go home every weekend. Especially in the beginning of the year. The people that did, still do now.

-I learned educational stuff in all of my classes too :) That IS what I'm paying for after all!

This year was amazing & I can't believe it's already over! Next year will be even better! :D
Have any questions for me about college life? : )
