15 Days... Are You Ready?



August 15th. August 15th is the day you begin one of the best experiences of your life. Participating in unbelievable fun, ridiculous friendships, freshmen boos, studying at club UGL, water fights on the yard, spotting celebrities at homecoming, getting fuked up out of your mind, studying until you lose your mind, all begins in 15 days at Howard University.



15 days until you say goodbye to your parents and hello to your life as an individual. Also, it’s the time when you’re gonna start saying hello to that Freshman 15. Yup, when you’re waving goodbye to your mother as she drives away while wiping tears from her eyes, remember that you’re also saying goodbye to spaghetti, steak, chicken alfredo, and all the rest of mom’s home cooked dinners. But don’t worry, the CafĂ© isn’t THAT bad. And all 15 pounds aren’t that bad either. Beginning August 15th your also going to gain more than 15 new friends, take 15 credits of classes, get 15 new crushes, and by the time you leave you will probably be able to name about 15 new brands of alcohol.

Those 15 pounds are going to carry a lot of weight; it’s all about where you decide to arrange them. Think about it ladies, like if 15 pounds went only to your booty and titties, you’d be happy, or fellas if you gained 15 pounds of pure muscle mass, then its good. But 15 pounds to your gut aint helping anybody look cute. August 15th is your day. Fall 2009 is your Freshman year... If your Freshman year is HALF as wild and crazy as mine, then you’re going to have the time of your life!!!


This time of year for me, I was screaming to get out of home (I’m STILL screaming to get out and go back now! Lol) I kept hearing all these crazy tidbits about things that happen at Howard like people messing around in the Chemistry building and people streaking across the yard. Now I know some of these stories to be true. I popped in a cd yesterday that CAMPUS PALS gave us Freshman week with songs from summer 2008 when we moved in and it brought back sooooo many memories. So me and other Howard students are here to share them with you!

Tell me, what are you most looking forward to at Howard or freshman orientation week? Comment and tell me if you all are more excited, nervous, anxious or scared and why? And I have a LIST of stuff to discuss on here but if you have any topic ideas that you DESPERATELY think need or should be addressed than post those on here too! Check back daily for more updates!
