First day of class

Freshman year: Planner ready, syllabus printed, sitting in front row, and ten minutes early to class.

Senior year: Can I borrow a pen?

Getting to class

Freshman year: I’ll just walk to class, the valley stairs aren’t that bad!

Senior year: WHY IS THERE NO PARKING ON CAMPUS NOW I HAVE TO TAKE THE TRAM!!

Eating on campus

Freshman year: There’s no way I’m going to use all these dining dollars.

Senior year: Can ANYBODY swipe me at the SLP?!

Going to the beach:

Freshman year living on campus: First time I go to Mission Beach I’m going on the roller coaster!

Senior year living in Mission Beach: Yeah we still need to do that before we graduate…

Studying:

Freshman year: I’m going to be in Copley all the time studying!

Senior year: I could drive to campus and see everyone I know at Copley, or I could lay here and keep watching Netflix…

Living with Roommates:

Freshman year: Racing your roommate back to your dorm room so you can shower first.

Senior year: Racing your roommates down Sea World Drive so you can have the parking spot.

Going out on the weekend:

Freshman year: (At 8 am) I heard someone is having a party tonight on Jamaica?!

Senior year: (At 10 pm) Are we going out?

Feelings on the school you chose to attend:

Freshman year: I’m so excited, this is going to be the best four years of my life!

Senior year: I’ve had the best four years of my life, don’t make me leave! ):

Netflix, Pizza, & Alpha Phi.
