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.

Upon reflection

It’s hard to believe that there is only one month of classes left in my freshman year of college. It feels just like yesterday that I was moving into my dorm to start this new journey, feeling a sense of excitement and slight nervousness in thinking of what was to come.

The mockingbird’s call

Writing this article, I am sitting on my bed at home typing away at my computer. It is currently 12:34am, and it has been a great few days of relaxing after a long week of midterms.

That delicious cake

This past Saturday holds a special place in my heart. Not only because it was my first Hoboken St. Patrick’s Day experience, but also because I was given a great opportunity that would have been foolish to pass up.

Strong hopes

This past week has definitely been a busy one. To start, I decided to take bio as my first science elective, and I can now say that I made the right choice.

Right place at the right time

Sitting on the second floor of the library, I sometimes find myself distracted by the goings-on around me. From people talking to each other to others walking by, for some reason I find it hard to focus.

The coffee stain

A few days ago, I walked into the library after my classes were over for the day to start my homework.

Being who I am

This week has been a whirlwind of events. From sorority recruitment and scholarship applications to Honor Board executive board nominations, it has definitely been a busy week.

Back to the grind

It has been almost two weeks since the start of the new semester and I have already become busier than I was last semester. 

Another new beginning

Being able to say that I have officially completed my first semester of college is surreal to me.  Even though I knew this would happen, up until these past few weeks I was in disbelief of how far I had come.

Where’d the time go?

I honestly can’t believe that this is the last week of classes for the semester.  It feels like yesterday I was moving into my dorm and starting a new chapter here.
