Freshmen Registration

It is that time of year again, FRESHMEN REGISTRATION!!! I love working this event.  It is so  much fun to see all the new people that will be coming here in the fall!! And it also means that we are almost done with school too.  But, it is soo much fun to see how nervous and excited they all are.  I can remember back to when I came for registration.  I am still friends with some of the people that I had met that day, and I still have and use the folder that they give you!  Its crazy to think how much I have changed in 3  years, and how is many ways I am still very much the same.  I can only hope that these newbies here to SMSU have as much fun as I have had and are having, and I hope that maybe I will get to be friends with some of them.  Freshmen year is a year that is crazy, and I wasn't expecting it at all.  And when people say to enjoy your college years because they fly by, they mean  it.  I feel like I just graduated high school like 2 months ago, and here I am a registered senior in college.  INSANE!!

I helped out on Friday at this event doing multiple things.  Recruiting kiddos to live in the Mustang Traditions dorm here in the fall.  I lived there for 2 years, and made a ton of great friendships and memories.  I had a blast and wouldn't have traded it for the world.  I would totally recommend a freshmen to live there if they are at all outgoing and wanting to meet a whole bunch of new people.  I also wondered around and talked to a bunch of the parents about things, and that is fun to just give your own opinions of things and de-stress the parents about their kids going to college a bit.  And then checkout is my favorite, because they have all just registered for classes  figured out where they are living and who with, and are so exited to start! I love chatting with them about those things.

Since I worked in the Mustang Traditions dorm last year, I put together a video of the pictures that we took over the years to hopefully show kids how much fun we have!
