Meals Plans = Big Mistake!!

It's mandatory for freshman living on campus to buy meal plans. You can choose from a number of different options, ranging from unlimited to 10 meals a week. I have the 15 meals per week plan. I can't even tell you how much of a mistake that was.

After my first week of living on campus I had already become extremely tired of the food. It's the same ingredients everyday just mixed into different combinations. It's not even good food. It's greasy and gross.

With my meal plan I also get $350 of flex bucks, which is kind of like Disney money. You can spend it at any of the fast food places around campus. We have places like Starbucks, Einsteins and Subway. I'm even bored with these places and I find myself eating off campus all the time. I'm definitely not getting a meal plan next year. The food is bad for you and doesn't really taste good either.

All I want is a home cooked meal. I've never wanted that so badly in my life!

First week in college

My first week in college was nothing short of fantastic. Sharing my living space with 7 other people was shocking to say the least. Despite the fact that, for the last 18 years, I have lived with all the luxuries of an only child, having a roommate isn't all bad.

For the past week I have been participating in sorority recruitment. Recruitment has been one of the most hectic and fun times I have ever been through. It was a lot like an interview for a job, except you were being interviewed to become a part of their Greek family. I am now a pledge for a great group of girls.

No less than one day after recruitment ended I found myself running through a maze of buildings and offices in order to find my classes. Every student was more than willing to point out where I needed to go or where I could find help. I love all of my classes and I can't wait to embark on this wonderful journey.

As I sit here typing I can't help but think about what the future holds or even what to expect tomorrow.
