Freshman year is the beginning of all things important and all things new. You move to a new school‚ you follow new trends‚ you make new friends. But this year for me meant time for a new backpack. I had had my last bag for a few years‚ and it was an unpleasant purple and dirty gray and worn down like a rag doll. Even in its roughest days of frayed straps and dirt covered bottom‚ I still loved it. Plus‚ I hated looking for new backpacks‚ they were all going to be cheep looking and ugly. They all

Reading My Freshman Year: What a Professor Learned By Becoming a Student twelve years after it was published is similar to what Rebekah Nathan experienced when comparing her notes to Michael Moffat. I found myself recognizing some of her observations but with others I was completely lost. At times‚ I wondered if the changes between her vision and mine were due to the changes in time‚ or changes in college. The university she studied was a state university that is very large. While University of Maine

Thanksgiving has become a lot more meaningful now that I am away from college. I remember my first Thanksgiving freshman year. I was living the standard movie cliché of coming home for the holidays. I grew a beard‚ everyone commented on how much more liberal I’ve gotten‚ I was asked (and begrudgingly answered) how my classes were going‚ it was all part of the true college experience. This year‚ both my sister and I were away for college so coming home for break even more important. Leaving Madison

“Stupid Freshman”‚ are the words every freshman hears entering high school. Everything they do‚ is wrong no matter what. I remember entering freshman year and being so excited‚ that was until the first month had passed. I wasn’t scared coming into highschool because I had many friends who were already in high school. Many upperclassmen tried to warn my friends and I what to do and what not to do. As usual‚ we didn’t listen. As freshman we thought we were all grown up and so mature‚ little did we

A time I recall experiencing failure was my sophomore year. My failure derived from taking my permit test. From this experience‚ I would say I learned quite a bit about myself and how to deal with certain situations. Sophomore year marks the time young adults start learning how to drive. But before this process begins one has to receive a permit. I remember that the moment that I became eligible for a permit‚ that I made my mom take me to the DMV right after school. When I took the test I failed
