College is, to say the least, an emotional rollercoaster. From the all-nighter blues to the high that comes hand and hand with a new romance, you will feel it all. Here are 20 GIFs that will prepare you for all the ups and downs that life at a university brings.

1. Excited

When you prepare to leave home and embark on your journey to college.

2. Homesick

The second your parents leave you in a strange place surrounded by strangers.

3. Drunk

Your first college party.

4. Awkward

Trying to flirt at your first college party.

5. Regretful

Waking up for that first 8 a.m. (Just because you were at school by 7 a.m. in high school does not mean that 8 a.m. classes are a good idea in college).

6. Stressed

Good grades, social life, good night's sleep, exercise, eating well, a job -- pick two. That's college, folks.

7. Socially Exhausted

"I can't go out tonight, you guys. I have to write a paper." *Sits in room wearing a Snuggie, watching Netflix, and eating a whole box of pizza.*

8. Lazy

It doesn't matter if you were an all-star in track and field in high school, college will make you lazy. It's something about the greasy foods and late nights and abundance of homework. Within a few weeks of school, you'll be blowing off the gym to stay home, stuff your face, and binge-watch a whole TV series.

9. Fat

With that laziness comes the dreaded "Freshmen 15." Yes it is real. Very, very few people escape it.

10. Easily pleased

So long are the days of only being impressed by gourmet meals. Now if your buddy whips out some Dino nuggets, you'll think it's the best day ever.

11. Unorganized

Your backpack will be filled with more gum wrappers than pencils, you'll wear clothes that you found on the floor out of desperation, you'll oversleep your alarm and stumble into class looking like a zombie... basically you'll be a mess.

12. Hot

Let's face it, college is one giant breeding ground. Even if you were the "ugly" one in your high school, you will be sought after in college. Embrace it.

13. Under pressure

Basically, these four years will decide the rest of your life. Choose the right major, choose the right internship, make good connections, everything you do right now matters. No pressure.

14. Relieved

Whether it's landing that perfect job for after graduation or just getting an A on a huge exam, relief will never feel as sweet as it does in college.

15. Celebratory

In college, every reason is a reason to pop open a bottle of wine and start pouring. New boyfriend? Let's celebrate. New job? Hell yes. Let's celebrate. Made it through a Wednesday? Are you buying the wine or am I?

16. Nostalgic

Whether it's missing your dorm room from freshmen year or looking out over the campus one last time during graduation, you'll constantly wish you could go back and relive every Monday morning or Friday night.

Savor every moment, kids, because you can't go back.
