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.
