35 Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

For incoming college freshman who have lived at home all of their lives, it is definitely a hard transition. You go from living under your parents roof to living on your own in a tiny dorm room with a roommate. It is such a scary feeling, but it is also quite the rollercoaster. Throughout your first year of college, you're adjusting to new things such as waking up for 8am classes, having more school work to do, college food, and trying to balance a social life with all of it. It can be quite challenging. To any incoming freshman that is currently reading this article, just know that freshman year is supposed to be one of the easiest years in your college career, so enjoy it! Here are twenty thoughts that every college freshman (hey, even every college student) has throughout their first few semesters of college.

1. "How in the world did I survive seven plus hours of high school a day, when now I can barely make it through my one class."

2. "Maybe I can wake up earlier tomorrow to finish that?"

3. **Tomorrow comes** **Hits snooze button**

4. "UGH IT'S MONDAY!"

5. "Is it Friday yet?"

6. "God the food is awful."

7. "Should I work out, eat, study, socialize, or cry?"

8. "Can I become a billionaire while I lay in bed for the rest of my life?"

9. "When I finish my homework, next thing you know, there is more homework to do..."

10. "Why is the WiFi sooooo slow!!"

11. " Cancelled class is a gift from god."

12. "Snow day?"

13. "I am going to take a twelve hour nap, see ya."

14. "I wish I had filled out more scholarship applications."

15. "Why does she look so cute, and it is only Monday? I'm wearing sweatpants and no makeup!"

16. "Can these gen ed classes be done already?"

17. "Still don't know what I want to do with my life..."

18. "Maybe if I make my bed I'll be less tempted to take a nap."

19. "How many more years of this?!"

20. "I have absolutely no idea what I am doing, so I'll act like I do and maybe no one will notice."

21. Why did I think it was a good idea to register for an 8am class?"

22. **trips and falls** "Oh god, I hope no one saw that."

23. "WHY IS IT SO WINDY! MOTHER NATURE CALM DOWN"

24. "I hate people."

25. "That's it, I'm dropping out."

26. "I miss home."

27. "When is winter break?"

28. "When is spring break?"

29. "I just need to keep studying."

30. "I should get some microwave meals so I don't have to deal with the college food."

31. "I don't need to go to bed yet, I'll be fine."

32. "Oh god I need to get more sleep."

33. "Do I have time to print my paper before class?"

34. "What is more important right now? Dinner, homework, or sleep?"

35. **Get's free t-shirt with school logo on it** "I have five of these already..."

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my 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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
