Mid-September saw Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer announce that rules regarding the congressional dress code would be extremely relaxed. Plainly put, senators and representatives can wear things such as hoodies, T-shirts, shorts and otherwise casual attire.

Many students, especially freshmen, fear the idea of taking midterms and finals. There are also those select freshmen who have never had or known what it is like to take such big cumulative sets of exams in their life.

I lose over an hour a day of relaxing, doing homework, eating or pretty much anything I could just do if I were staying on campus to drive, so I need to use my time wisely. There were a few things, however, that I hadn’t expected about campus life, and they required a bit of personal adjustment.

Channeling inner girlhood is a liberating feeling. Bringing back the excitement of being younger and being brought back to a simpler time eases the stress of growing up. Reminiscing on a time in our lives with more freedom and endless possibilities, and remembering what we used to dream of and how those experiences crafted the women we are now.
