20 Rookie Mistakes We’ve Made At URI

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

1. Picking a school by the beach.. but only getting two weeks of beach weather (if you’re lucky).

2. Getting on the Blue Line only to realize you’re going the wrong way.

3. Getting stuck in Narragansett because your DD got drunk.

4. Attending a football game for more than just the tailgate.

5. Not taking advantage of your meal plan or ram account.

6. Taking too much advantage of Izone.

7. Gaining the freshman 15 from eating too many butt nuggs and ice cream daily.

(but seriously, how can we resist?)

8. Not taking the Hillclimber.

9. Forgetting to bring headphones to the gym/library.

10. Not arranging your schedule around the bar nights you want to attend.

11. Thinking you’re actually going to have a productive Friday after going to Bonvue. LOL.

12. Expecting the frat guy you hooked up with will text you the next day. #TFM

13. Locking yourself out of your dorm/house.

14. Expecting to take chemistry and actually understanding your professor.

15. Commuting to campus anytime after 9am and expecting to get a spot in the church lot or fine arts.

16. Attempting to grab a coffee in between class time …

Godspeed.

17. Going one absence over the allotted absences, and failing because of it.

18. Drinking and not doing any schoolwork banking on a snow-day.

19. Thinking you wouldn’t be surrounded by people who dont know how to drive.

No seriously Rhode Island, do you just hand out licenses for fun?

20. Thinking URI secure or Sakai is actually going to work.
