Mind of a Freshman is an Opinion column written by one or two first-year Stevens students to discuss life experiences during their time at Stevens, and other related subject matter.

Should you skip class?

Tick, tock… tick, tock. Sitting in some classes, I wonder, “Why am I even here? What is the purpose of the lecture I’m sitting through, if it’s not being covered on the test, or final?

I’m approaching the seventh monthiversary for my time at Snevets. Throughout my freshmen year so far, I like to think I have taken advantage of everything on campus… well, as much as I could.

Important things to know!

Has this week truly been so busy? Don’t you feel that way? The pace has really picked up; it’s hard to believe that we’ll be six weeks into the semester.

It’s a learning experience

First semester was so much fun, and I am truly excited to be back on campus. When you’re in Hoboken, you take for granted the abundance of restaurants and people that are around.
