Title

I'm feeling especially unmotivated as I write this blog. Being unmotivated to do work is something freshman should get used too. At least until they get through gen ed's. But anyway...

College is pretty much what its cracked up to be. Staying up till 3 in the morning is the norm. Whether that is because of homework, video games, or thirsty thursdays, no matter what, you'll be staying up late. Just get used to it. You'll eat a lot of food. Make a lot of friends, that is if you don't act like a complete ass. You'll see/hear things you'd never expect to hear, but those are things you'll only get to experience living in the dorm. Gillet is pretty dingy but its still a place to live and its created many awesome memories for me already. Spell check should become your friend if it isn't already. Spark notes are still useful but reading the actual book is more helpful. Study in groups. Not only do you meet people but you'll learn the material better. Try and find a place where you can get your studies done and not be distracted. 

Please treat your computers/other technological gear with great respect. You're going to need it to last you. Plus i'll hunt you down if you mistreat an Apple computer. 

But the most important thing coming into your freshman year is to just be yourself. Don't worry about people judging you. Find people who have similar interests to you and be yourself. Be kind, generous, and happy. 

P.S Also cheer very very loudly for the Tigers football team. They're going to need the love next year.
