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 lonely duckling

Right now, I’m sitting in Pierce. All alone, again. It’s that table straight ahead when you enter, in the left corner by the window.

Ghost campus

If you’re interested in reading something spooky about Stevens, put this paper down and go find last week’s issue of The Stute.

Nightmare before Christmas

Procrastinating Perfectly
