The Freshman Survival Guide

How to gain the freshman 15 and other unimportant things:

You know freshmen have arrived when...

• Cars are going at a snail's pace. Where the hell is X-lot?

• Moms are in Lilly-patterned capris carrying heavy boxes

• Dads are in their casual polos tucked into their critter shorts

• New Vera Bradley patterns have surfaced

• There are lanyards... EVERYWHERE

• Parents are seen taking photos with their child with the lake in the background. So picturesque.
