Welcome Week!

September 7th, 2014 echen17

Welcome Week: The first week of the academic year.

It’s been a few days since fall semester began, and studying is a thing again. Now that I’m a sophomore, I pretty much know what I need to do to get things done. Time management is definitely a skill worth learning. So far, I have been assigned with a decent amount of work, but I’ve been pretty much on my game these past few days, and have finished most of what I need to get done this weekend. It helps that I am working in the library this semester, so I can get some studying done while at work. It also helps that most of my friends live in the same residence hall this year, so they are within steps of me when I need them (or their books…haha…because one of mine is still in the mail). Living on campus definitely has its perks.

My classes have been great so far. My professors are awesome, and most of my friends are in my classes, which is a bonus. Other than the two math courses I’m taking, I’m also taking a philosophy course and an architecture course. So, I’m knocking off two more common requirements with classes that intrigued me the most while selecting courses for this semester. If you have to take something, might as well be interested in the course material, right?

Okay, so enough about the academic side of my week. Let’s talk about what Welcome Week has to offer. Every day during Welcome Week, there is an event. This past week, there was the Outdoor Edge, Bingo, Stump Trivia, Clay Time, and also, a Mentalist performed one night.
