Although I am just a freshman at West Virginia University and have yet to experience everything the university and Morgantown have to offer, a lot has happened in these short three weeks. Here are 10 things that have happened to me, and will 100 percent happen to you at WVU!
We (obviously) live on a mountain. Therefore walking anywhere in Morgantown will be a hike. The amount of hills that you will climb every single day will make the “freshman 15” impossible. After one year at WVU, your calf muscles will be absolutely amazing.
25 cent drink night at Annex is tempting, I know. It can be a good time if you don’t get too carried away, but it can also have you with your head down a toilet for hours or an excruciating headache the next morning while you’re sitting in a lecture. Be aware!
You’ll be overcome with panic at least once when you’re searching for your student ID and can’t find it while in the line at Chick-Fil-A trying to use a meal swipe.
You’ve managed to drop a couple hundred dollars at the book exchange and realized the only colors you wear now are blue and gold.
Whether it’s at Arden (aka “party rock”) where you slip on some rocks, or if it’s falling and possibly rolling down frat row, chances are you will find yourself tripping at some point during your time at WVU. However, you’ll always get back up to do it all over again.
Being the theme song for the university, it’s only inevitable that you will learn every word.
Those house parties on Grant street may have sounded like a fun idea until you and your friends got tear gassed by Morgantown police.
Trying to get to your class on the Evansdale campus? You may find yourself e-mailing your professor explaining why you missed their class because the PRT broke down on you. Don’t stress over it too much, the professors and instructors are pretty understanding and it happens quite frequently. It also can be a fun time, you can meet some very interesting people on the PRT.
Some way, somehow, it never fails; once your night of partying is over and you have those “late night munchies,” Sheetz is always there for you. You’ll find yourself standing in the ALWAYS long line to check out. It’s all worth it in the end when you have your face full of mozzarella sticks and a milkshake.
WVU students really know how to have a good time, and there’s always something going on. The people you will meet and the memories you will make will make you never want to leave.
