Freshman recounts his first year at Stevens.
Posts published in “Mind of a Freshman”
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.
Over the past few weeks, I have been working hard to put together accounting lunches to help advertise the major here at school.
Here’s something they don’t tell you at Admitted Students weekend: Freshman year is absolutely crazy. It’s so crazy that I hardly remember most of it, and I’m still in it.
I am at the point in the semester where I really do not know what month it is or how many weeks we have left in the school year.
Over spring break, I was in Lisbon, Portugal, having the time of my life. A beautiful country, decent weather (despite the constant raining and windy days), and five days with a bunch of other Stevens students distracted me from all of my responsibilities back in New Jersey.
For about the past month, I have been sick almost every week, which has meant a lot of sleeping and resting for me.
Last semester, I was part of a fantastic program on campus called Emerging LEADs. It is the first session of seminars in a series on leadership and diversity education conducted here at Stevens.
Lately, I have been thinking a lot about February’s place as a month. December is about finals and presents. January is about New Years and winter break.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve learned a lot of random facts. Though these facts are completely useless, they are pretty interesting, so for this week, I thought I would share a couple of the ones I found the most interesting.
After a month off for winter break, I do not think I can fully express how glad I am to be back to writing this new year.
