"  A new year, new semester and new classes can only mean one thing: a new YOU! After surviving my first semester as a college student, I am more confident and adjusted and therefore feel as though I can take everything that I learned in the fall and use it to my advantage this spring!   Where to study: First semester is all about getting acquainted with new surroundings, but once you have experienced studying in the library, a lounge, a local caf\u00E9, etc., it is easy to figure out what suits you best.For me: The lounge at the bottom of my dorm is quiet and convenient.   Where to meet guys: In the first few months of school, you meet TONS of new people, but the multitude of new faces won&amp;#039;t continue to show up as frequently in the spring. If you want to meet guys, head out to social events, whether that be to a sport game, house party or club on campus.For me: Sporting events are an easy way to bond over a similar interest while showing school pride.  Which parties are worth a cold walk in a tight skirt: Let&amp;#039;s face it: winters in the north can be very cold and can easily dampen any &amp;quot;party&amp;quot; mood on a Friday night. This is a great place to take into consideration what you experienced first semester. If a certain sports team or frat is known to have great music and an even better crowd, I would throw on jeans and head on over. However, if a house&amp;#039;s reputation tends to be focused on creepy guys and dirty floors, I suggest bundling up and heading to bed.   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
