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.
A few days ago, I walked into the library after my classes were over for the day to start my homework.
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.
It has been almost two weeks since the start of the new semester and I have already become busier than I was last semester.Â
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.

Coming to this school, I knew that if I wanted to participate in extracurricular activities such as the Honor Board and The Stute, I would have to balance my work and other activities in order to stay afloat.

Ever since I was a young girl, I have always appreciated the subtle, or sometimes not so subtle, changes between summer and fall.
