30 Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

Seriously, we're all thinking it.

Feb 09, 2017

For most people, college is the first time they move away from home and try to figure out how to live on their own. It can be a scary feeling, but it sure is one heck of an adventure. Here is a list of 30 thoughts college freshmen have within the first year:

1. Do you think anyone will notice that I’ve worn these pants three days in a row?

2. How am I supposed to control myself when I know food is only one card swipe away?

3. I wish I had filled out more scholarship applications.

4. Dorm life definitely isn’t as bad as I thought, but I really miss having my own shower.

5. You mean I don’t have to go to class 35 hours a week like I did in high school?

6. I thought everyone was just kidding about the freshman 15...

7. Dang it, how does she always find time to look cute?

8. When is the next time I can fit in a nap?

9. I hope the whole “you meet your best friends in college” thing isn’t a myth because I really like these guys.

10. *Hopelessly checks email before each class to see if the professor cancelled*

11. Why do I have to take so many gen ed classes?

12. I wish my school offered a room service option because I don’t want to leave my bed to walk to the dining hall.

13. If I can just finish two more pages, I’ll reward myself with an episode of Netflix.

14. I’M TOO YOUNG TO KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH THE REST OF MY LIFE.

15. Do I really not have to raise my hand to go to the bathroom?

16. More free t-shirts?!?!?! No wonder tuition is so expensive…

17. What’s the most strategic way to hang these Command Hooks?

18. Pssssht, of course I can pull an all-nighter to crank out this paper.

19. I shouldn’t have pulled an all-nighter to crank out that paper. No more procrastinating.

20. Well, last time I was able to do 8 pages in one night, so 10 can’t be that hard…

21. Seriously, dude. NO MORE PROCRASTINATING.

22. College is hard, but life without a degree is harder, right?

23. If I can just put off laundry until the weekend, I’ll bring it home and maybe my mom will do it for me because she misses me so much.

24. I wish I wanted to be something like a mechanic or a carpenter so I could skip the whole college thing and still make a lot of money.

25. I honestly can’t remember the last time I washed my hair.

26. Maybe if I make my bed I’ll be less tempted to take a nap…

27. As much as I love it here, I miss my family and friends back at home.

28. How many more years of this????

29. Maybe if I drop out now I can just find some YouTube videos to teach me everything I need to know about my major.

30. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing but I’ll just act like I do and maybe no one will notice.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Don't freak out

Attend the first class

Keep attending class
