Your freshman year of college is unforgettable. It is your first real taste of freedom. Your parents are no longer there to tell you to clean your room, go to class, do your homework, or yell at you for coming home past curfew. With that being said, there are still plenty of things that really suck about your freshman year of college, but have no fear – things instantly get better once you are a sophomore. So keep on keeping on, there is a whole list of things to look forward to.

1. You don't live in a crappy dorm anymore. Even if you chose to stay in on campus - housing, your living arrangements are much nicer than freshman year's.

2. You most likely have your own bathroom and shower.

3. You no longer share a washer and dryer with three - hundred of your closest friends.

4. You probably chose whom you lived with this time around.

5. Even if you chose whom you lived with freshman year, you probably met them on something that resembled an online dating site. You didn't have to do that this time around.

6. You actually have a car.

7. If you had your car last year – you actually feel okay about moving it because you don't deal with dorm parking.

8. You know how to properly swipe your student ID without standing at the library entrance for ten minutes.

9. You no longer get lost on campus.

10. You know better than to pay more than $10 for cover anywhere.

11. You eat food other than dining hall pizza.

12. You already have friends upon your return, so you don't spend your first couple of weeks wondering if you will ever find your place.

13. You get to pick classes earlier. Good-Bye 8 A.M's.

14. You are in a better ticket window so you can attend football games that actually matter.

15. You know which bars you like, and the ones that are not your style.

16. You know what you want to major in…. maybe.

17. You are no longer at the bottom of the food chain, and you kind of feel like a hot shot because of it.

18. You stopped wearing a lanyard with your student ID attached to it around your neck.

19. You don't get homesick nearly as often. It is still a thing, and probably always will be, but it is much less frequent.

20. There is now a whole new group of students much less knowledgeable about how things work, and now it is your turn to help them out.
