5 Epiphanies of Every Freshman Girl

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BU chapter.

1) You cannot fit your entire wardrobe into that teeny closet and 4 dresser drawers. Even your space bags and cute organizers can’t save you from what will eventually become a giant pile of clothes on your closet floor.

 

2) Going out Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will sky-rocket your grades downward. The FOMO struggle is real, but you have four entire years to go out. Repeat after me: there will be more parties.

 

3) Those readings your professors assign are only optional if you’re okay with getting a C in their class – which obviously you are not. Your color-coded notebooks and vast array of highlighters will be doing a lot more than just sitting in their neat little desk organizers.

 

4) Sophomore boys are just as immature as Freshman ones, and they most likely only want one thing (hint: it’s not a relationship).

 

5) When it gets cold, you need to dress like it. Going out sans coat in 30 degree weather is a death wish. We know you spent hours planning that outfit, but covering it up just for a little while is a small price to pay. Even worse are those 5-inch heels in the snow. Bringing 10 different pairs because you just COULDN’T leave them was excessive, especially considering it snows for at least half of the year. Good thing you brought just as many cute boots.
