When I was a freshman…

Today, in order to avoid starting a book I should read and finishing a creative writing assignment, I decided to look at my personal blog entries from my freshman year at MVNU and see what I wrote back then.

These are the observations I’ve made:

1. Freshmen have a LOT of time on their hands. Considering I spent hours playing card games, watching movies, and solving 3-D puzzle toys.
2. My most vivid memories involved things I did with friends—including going to the SGA Speed Dating event, or simply putting on a lot of absolutely ridiculous (and horrendous) makeup at midnight and taking pictures around campus.
3. The fact that the library’s downstairs women’s restroom was decorated in blue freaked me out inordinately.
4. I spent an inordinate amount of time writing blog posts. Probably as a result of point #1. I was up to about 10 a month, or more!
5. That freshman history course yielded some blog posts of its own, amazingly. Mostly about the crazy historical characters… have Dr. Mayle tell you about Napoleon someday.
