Shoutout to all the college freshman out there, we finally survived our first week as college students.

For guys and gals like me, going to a smaller university means that "Syllabus Week" is far more than just sitting in class and discussing attendance policies. By day three, I was already preparing for upcoming assignments and doing homework for hours on end.

Even though everyone says that college is the best experience of our lives, it's not all fun and games. Sh*t gets real, fast. Don't get me wrong though, this first week has definitely been one for the books.

As I was contemplating what to write about for this week's article, I decided that what other way to illustrate my feelings and experiences from the first week than through GIFs and quotes from "Sex and the City."

Here's 10 GIFs from SATC that best describe my first week as a college student:

1. Going to your classes on the first day and realizing that you spent half the amount of time in class than you would have if you were still in high school.

2. When it’s only the second day of classes and someone is already rolling up in their pajamas.

3. Promising yourself that you would not fall victim to the Freshman 15, but it’s day three and you’ve had ice cream at every meal.

4. Looking at your syllabus and realizing that “Sylly Week” doesn’t mean anything when you go to a smaller school because the first 3 chapters are due by Friday.

5. Allowing your laziness to reach a whole new level.

6. Catching up with your parents on the phone, and they hit you with, "What kind of food you’ve been eating?"

7. After doing 4 hours of homework and remembering that it’s only the first week of classes.

8. When you have successfully made it through another day as a college student and decide to treat yourself.

9. Finishing your last class on a Friday and realizing that you’ve made it to the weekend.

10. And finally, going out with your girls on a well-deserved night out.
