What it's like to be a junior at Ole Miss?

Being a junior at Ole Miss is all about making memories, saying yes to spontaneous plans, and realizing just how quickly college is flying by. It’s knowing your favorite spots on the Square, having your game day traditions down to a science, balancing classes with everything happening outside the classroom, and making the most of the little moments with friends. It’s that sweet spot between feeling settled into college life and realizing there’s still so much left to experience.

Balancing academics, involvement, and campus life

October | Fall Semester 2026

It’s crazy how fast the first seven weeks went by; junior year has been super busy for all of us, but it's been one of the most interesting starts to a school year I’ve had at Ole Miss, especially beating LSU at home.

A big part of this semester has been working with the Ole Miss Business Club, spending time at events and meetings, and bringing in incredibly talented business professionals to share their careers in different industries and experiences, even globally with franchising. It’s been really cool to help connect students with people that they usually wouldn’t be able to have the opportunity to hear from.

There’s also a lot of behind-the-scenes work, from scheduling to securing a tent in the Grove for the club on game days. On top of that, I’ve stayed involved with ASB, where we’ve been working to improve the overall student experience. The biggest thing has been getting students Uber vouchers, which they can find in their emails, as a free transportation option. We’ve also worked with the athletics department, where Flex became available to be used as a source of payment at football games. It’s really great to see these ideas from ASB openly available to students.

The last few weeks also involved midterms, which focused on major degree classes and were difficult, but getting through that hurdle is a relief, and being able to hang out with friends during football weekends makes things a lot better. Overall, it has been a solid, good mix of everything, and I can’t wait to see more to come.

Hotty Toddy!
