Printed Sept. 6, 1979 – Being a first-year is...
In this 1979 issue of the Cord, a list was written to describe the first year experience. The following are some choice descriptions:
Being a first-year is...
Walking into the wrong classroom and staying there because you don’t want anybody to think you’re stupid, and then finding out that half the class is in the wrong place
Taking part in a panty raid because you forgot to pack your underwear
Getting lost in the tunnel on the way to the Library
Going to the swimming pool and forgetting that your bathing suit is see-through
Liking Radio Laurier
Buying four cases of beer and then finding out you don’t have a bottle opener
Calling home for money on September 7
Being mature enough to go to university but too young to drink
Having an eye on that really good looker for weeks, then finding out he (she) is a prof
Finding out there’s a lot more to university than books
Printed Jan. 21, 2009 – The bird is the word
Still relevant today, the Cord published a feature piece on bird courses at Laurier. If you haven’t already signed up for your courses, you might want to consider taking a few of these:
RE 103: Love and its Myths
AS 101: Astronomy 1: Our Place in the Cosmos
LL 200: Cultural Perspectives 1
CL 204: Greek and Roman Mythology: The Gods
