Wait, what did I just sign myself up for? Hello, it's me. "Me," as in every soon-to-be college girl, who on the outside is as calm as a cucumber, but on the inside is mentally freaking out about what is to come. My name is Emily and I have been in your shoes. Let's take a twist on the "freshman fifteen" and cover fifteen college lessons to empower your next chapter in life. No scales needed! She Is More Than The Freshman Fifteen is written with a passionate, yet humorous take on the sometimes crazy world of college. From speed dating - roommate & housing edition to squad goals, Emily takes you on the ultimate Freshman 101 road trip. Now, get out your way too cute, personalized planner and let's begin with lesson one. Are you a train wreck when it comes to your room or does the sight of unorganized chaos send you into an anxiety attack? Do you prefer an extroverted roommate who won't pass up a single social opportunity or an introverted roommate who can be located on the comfiest couch under the blanket with take-out? How do you feel about co-ed sleepovers, awkward but a necessary question? Do you fall asleep with your favorite playlist on or do you like to sleep in the cave of darkness in complete silence? Are you looking to room with someone that you are already besties with or go potluck? Are you thinking to yourself what does a cooking pot and some luck even have to do with one another, yet alone with housing? Well, then you are in the right lesson. Whew! Do you feel like you are going through a speed dating exercise? I know that I did when the day comes around where you have to make those what seem like "life decisions" that will affect your entire freshman year. Have no fear. I just might have a close "friend" of mine who has fortunately and unfortunately been through about every rooming situation there was to offer as a freshman. Let's be real here, that person was me.
