20 GIFs That Accurately Depict  the Realities of College Life

The first semester in college is a time when you are experiencing new things and adapting to the new enviroment.

For those who are struggling or just want to know how we manage to survive in college, here is an explanation...

With GIFs!!



You will have essays, and if you're like me, you sometimes wait until the worst time to write them...

...and you always seem to run out of new things to write that relate to the topic you're writing about.


Your sleep habits won't get better in college.



You will need to find your own way of studying that works.


You will find yourself procrastinating more often.

\


Sometimes, you'll lose the motivation to do anything.


Things cost money and you may not have much of it.



You will have to pay for your food, and you may find yourself getting more involved in your community because of this.


Some of the things you learned in high school won't make sense now.


You will have struggles...




You sometimes will feel as if you are terrible at making friends. But that's okay, just do your best.


Don't worry about the Problems with College...


Just focus on the positives.


And look to your friends and family in times of need...



College may not be hard for you, but for some people, it is a hard transition. Understand those who are struggling and take the extra step to help them.

Be that person that steps up and changes their day. Show them that they are supported. You don't have to do something big, you just need to recognize and help those who need it.



Transitioning to College Life isn't Easy, but you're not alone. We're all in this together.


Just remember: Everything will be fine



Even if you did perfectly fine last semester, others may not be doing as well as you. Show them that you support them.

You may feel good when you're doing great, but you'll feel way better when you are able to help and see others do great, using the skills you have mastered.

Share this with someone who you know is struggling through college, and tell them that you will be there for them no matter what.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
