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.

From duckling to duck

About one year ago, I committed to Stevens Institute of Technology. I was so excited to be part of “the class that brought the sunshine with them.”

Freshmanitis

Everyone gets warned about Senioritis. There are survival tips on WikiHow. There are informative Youtube videos. Look to the right side of this page – yes, even a whole column in The Stute named after the dreadful disease.

Hoboken, no jokin’

Whenever I tell somebody that I go to Stevens, I always get asked about how I like Hoboken. I have mixed feelings.

Next to normal

So, I experienced my first CPAC. CPAC was actually a little overwhelming. I didn’t expect so many people to be on campus.

Does Stevens place too much trust in the student body?

Obviously, the primary concern of any college should be the conditions for students. Earlier in the semester, I wrote an article about student-centricity at Stevens after attending Pancakes with the President. 

I would like to know my grades

Some professors are the most unorganized people, and I’m tired of it. I’m not going to name names here, but so many of them just don’t have it together.

Hello, my fellow ducks! If you’re an avid reader of The Stute, you may have noticed that my column was missing from the last two issues – gasp!

Busy as a bae

It’s only the beginning of my second semester here, and I’m already pretty active on campus. My calendar is filled with club meetings pretty much every day, which may look too busy. 

It’s Greek to me

It’s that time of the year when there are flyers all over campus about becoming part of Greek life. Every bulletin board is plastered with fraternity rush events.

Rolling with the dice

After a long and relaxing winter break, I still have to admit that it’s nice to return to my life at Stevens.
