Of Fridges and Food!
Now that you are in college, be prepared to say goodbye to food as you know it. Say goodbye to home cooked, made with live goodness and hello to microwaves and pizza…Ohhh the pizza! This can all get very expensive very fast, folks. But hopefully, this little advice I give you will help you for years to come:
1) Buy a minifridge and microwave. Sure, you may not like cooking, but you will not feel like going out ALL of the time. Instead, bring food from home and use the fridge and microwave. This will save you tons and will save you a lot of time, especially during cram week where your room may become your Fortress of Solitude for a few days.
2) Make a list. A simple list of food you do and do not like. Not only will this save you money, but will also give you a chance to make use of precious space, as food you do not want will not be taking up space.
3) Do not share all of your food. Keep a secret stash of food somewhere in your dorm. Why? Well, sometimes, you and your roommate could have a spat, and believe me, the first thing that will disappear will be your easy to find food. I’m not saying you shouldn’t share at all, because bonding over a bag of chips is a great way to build lasting friendships, but just be leery in the case that your relationship does turn sour.
4) Don’t be a glutton. Some of you will have to be a bit more careful now. Food is a precious, precious thing in college, and eating half of your stash in the first week will get you nowhere.
5) Beware of giving. You will share food with your friends and roommate. That’s a fact. But just be careful. If you know you only have so much, do not just give it out over-feelings of guilt. It’s ok to be a little selfish. I mean, what good is it if you’re going hungry? A good idea is to make up a plan where you buy the meal one day, and you friend buys another. Or, you could all pitch in. Whatever you do, do not just “give” all of the time, or else you will end up the loser.

President of IU student body with BIG ADVICE!!!
Below is an interview with your 2010-11 IU student body President, Michael Coleman.
Q: How did you go about getting involved?
A: GROUPS President had a lot to do with it. At the end of the GROUPS Summer Experience there is a Fall Expo and I met the advisor for RHA (Residence Hall Association), student government in the residence halls, and she told me to contact the President of the residence hall I was staying in. I immediately did that when the school year rolled around. I had an interview with the President of Teter and she appointed me the Vice President of Programming and began inviting me to many meetings that exposed me to the campus. I also took a class where I had to volunteer at a local agency, and I chose the Crestmont Boys&Girls Club where I worked at up until last year. I also did a Freshman Internship program with IUSA....
Q: Were there any difficulties that you faced, and how did you overcome them?
A: Time Management, still dealing with it, most of the time I just stay up late. Doing too much is also a problem I have. I have learned to say no to things that come my way.
Q: What is your favorite school year event?
A: CultureFest, it occurs during Welcome Week and it may be the only event that really brings the whole campus together (opinion).
Q: Do you have any time management techniques for upcoming freshman?
A: Get work done as soon as possible, it helps out tremendously. Plan out everything that you want to do for the school year after you decide what you want to be involved in. After that, sit down and chart out how you spend your week (sleep, eating, homework, texting, social networks, e-mail) and give things a percentage. - This should hopefully make you really think about how you spend your time.
Q: Is there any advice you think would be useful for incoming freshman to know?
A: Don't get behind, get involved, impact the community, network, leave your mark on campus, and above all else have fun because this is a great experience.

Getting Around Campus

Don’t want to pay for a $65 parking permit? Explore some other ideas of getting around this big campus while getting some good exercise! Let’s start off with walking; it’s the simplest and most inexpensive way to get around. A big advantage is the ability to find some short cuts you couldn’t find while driving around in a car. Another popular way to get around Indiana University Bloomington is riding a bike. Don’t forget to register your bicycle, which only the cost is $10! If you like to bike for a hobby you might want to look into cycling events, like The Little 500, and The Hilly Hundred. Bloomington also has several bike trails like B-line trail and Clear Creek Trail. Most roads in and around campus have bike lanes. Also skateboarding, rollerblading and even carpooling are other, productive ways to avoid that $65 permit and steep parking fines. Indiana University Student Association (IUSA) offers the Zimride. The Zimride is a “private rideshare community which helps you offer or request rides for commutes, road trips, and popular events.” This service is for any IU student, Faculty and staff member. Signing up is free, but use of the Zipcar program has an annual cost. However, this annual cost gives you access to renting a Zipcar for an hour or a day, and members of Zimride can make reservations for a car online.
