As a current sophomore at the University of Arkansas, man oh man, I have plenty I wish I knew my freshman year of college.
You are finally here, the moment you have been waiting for your whole life. College. Countless movies have been made about it, and you are finally able to experience it. This wonderful and beautiful time in your life is about you, your education and your relationships. Make the most of it.
Like, no way. Leave them at home and I promise, your little sister will steal them all but let her.
Decorate it so you feel at home. Remember to be sweet with everyone on your floor. Introduce yourself to your neighbors your freshman year of college.
I know it will be more comfortable to roll out of bed and rush to class, but believe me “dress well, test well” is a real thing.
Enjoy life and that pizza but know that your campus has a free gym and free workout classes. Bring on the Zumba! Everything in moderation.
For some students, this is your only job. Go to class and engage. Go to office hours and now your professor has a face to a name. It helps.
These girls are not only the ones you can go out to frat houses with, but they will come over for movie nights. They’re the ones that pick you up to get pizza and ice cream at 2 a.m. and then cry with you when Chad from Sigma Apple Pie breaks your heart.
Baby, you are a treasure and they are just silly boys who want nothing more than to party. Your guy will come soon. Focus on you.
You may be used to hanging out in your small town, but you’re playing with the big dogs now. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Us girls need to stick together. While it may put a damper on your night, please don’t leave them alone.
For most, this is the first time being away from home and having absolute freedom. Have fun but think through your decisions freshman year of college.
Enjoy it. Pick up a hobby. Your campus has so much going on. Try a sport you never have done before. Go to a painting class. You never know until you try it.
It will go by so quickly and you will never be a freshman baby again. Enjoy the ups and downs, the highs and lows. You’re so special and don’t let anyone or anything tell you differently.
