College is a time of self-discovery. You are now on your own: creating your own memories, experiencing new things, and meeting new people. You aren't quite ready for the *real world* yet, but you're getting there.
For most people, your freshman year is one for the books.
- You currently have one fake ID – the other was stolen (taken away) at a bar.
- You have the name and number of your taxi driver on speed dial.
- More importantly, you somehow have the name and number of the delivery guy at the late night fast food place you ordered from a little too often.
- You took home almost a suitcase full of your new sorority apparel and décor, mostly thanks to your loving biggie.
- You have created a fool-proof summer plan to get back in shape and lose off the extra weight gained over this past year…though it has yet to be put into action.
- Your new pledge class group chat consists of ¾ of your daily phone notifications.
- Your bank account has seen better days, ‘nuff said.
- Sleep has never been more of a luxury.
- Nothing can beat the feeling of attending your last 8am ever…that is, until you realize all the other class times are full for that one required class and therefore you are now forced to drag yourself to yet another 8am next semester.
- That one (okay, maybe two) time(s) you shamelessly drunk-dialed your parents.
- You have (almost) conquered the definition of time-management. Need to finish a paper before the Sig Ep mixer tonight? Challenge accepted.
- You went through a rapid increase in Instagram followers and now are guaranteed to have at least 50 likes on your next post. Gotta love the un-written rule of Greek sisterhood.
- You have at least two untouched novels or textbooks that were absolutely required for your classes. Thanks professors for wasting my money.
- Coffee is now not looked upon as a necessity; it’s a way of life.
- You now know that just because the dining hall says it's serving chocolate cake for dessert, does not mean it’s actually going to taste like chocolate cake.
