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.

To my graduating self:

Congratulations, class of 2017. This issue of the Stute is dedicated to you, but as selfish as I am, I’ll take this opportunity to write a letter to myself in four years, for when I graduate in 2020.

Pursuing your passion

I started writing this column as a spur of the moment decision. I saw an ad on Facebook, and just wrote a short, 600-word essay about how I felt about starting college.

Should you come here?

Hey! As you can see above, my name is Audrey, and I am a freshman Business major here at Stevens. I write this column every week, documenting the ups and downs of my freshman experience.

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?

Snevets, I still have some questions

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.

Don’t jump into The Hudson!

Hi, friends. How are you all doing? Well, I hope, but there is a lot going on. Did you have many midterms this week?

Are biz-techs dumb?

Yeah. Of course.

I’ve been meaning to write about this topic for a while. I tell myself that I don’t have to talk about it; I can just avoid the subject and keep going on with my life, but I’m getting so tired.

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.

Commuter dilemma

I always like to use this column to convey how I feel about major issues freshmen may be facing. Right now, the biggest thing on my mind is what I’ll be doing for housing next year.
