No matter how prepared you think you are for it, let me be the first to tell you that you most definitely are not.
You'll be excited to move in, make friends, and start the college life you've dreamed of.
As a first time freshman at Lander University, I have found that my mind is a clutter of thoughts running through my head all at one time.
So let me share just a handful of the thoughts that ran through my head in the past week:
1. Am I actually here?
2. I finally get to meet my froomies :)
3. Did I bring too much?
4. HOW DID I FORGET MY TOOTHBRUSH?!
5. Good thing I packed 5!
6. Why did I even buy [insert anything frivolous]?
7. Where is my [insert ANY item here]?
8. I SWEAR I BROUGHT EVERYTHING! Why do I need to go to Walmart again?
9. Is it acceptable to wear PJs to class already?
10. Will I fall asleep in my 8 am today?
11. I'm going to be so healthy in college!
12. There are so many stairs, there's no way I'll get fat
13. But there's an elevator...
14. OK, a bowl of salad and 20 nuggets is acceptable right?
15. Frick, there's ice cream every day?
16. I can't say no to birthday batter flavor! AND THERE"S CONES
17. Oh, look there's a Starbucks on my way back to the dorm...I NEED IT
18. I can stay up until 3 am and not be dead in my 8 am right?
19. Where the heck are my car keys? Time to check the trashcan *eye roll*
20. I have to buy ANOTHER book?
21. Do I HAVE to walk? I'm pretty sure I could just roll down the hill...
22. Great. How is my laptop already not working?!?
23. How can I get to [insert location here] without using ANY stairs?
24. Why do I suddenly feel the need to drink my weight in coffee to survive?
25. Is it normal to already miss home?
26. Did I really need 5 throw pillows?
27. Wait, I actually have to buy toilet paper?
28. Why can't everyone live the same way I do?
29. How can a dorm room get so messy so fast?

30. I'm home.
Don't get overwhelmed.
Don't forget the happiness you felt when getting your acceptance letter.
Don't forget the excitement of moving in and putting your room together just right.
Definitely don't forget everyone who helped you get there.
You'll make it.
We all will.
Together.
Best of luck guys
Love,
