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.

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. 

To be thankful

As I am sitting here in Babbio writing this week’s column, I realized that it has been exactly three months since I arrived at Stevens for my freshman year.
