The first semester of college is over, you've exhausted the limits on how many times you can rewatch videos of you and your college friends, and have already reunited with your home friends. So, what do you do now? You think back on your favorite, or not so favorite, parts of your first semester of college and how you feel about them.

1. Your college friends are your people.

You may not have realized it before college started, but your college friends are the people you've been waiting to meet for the last 18 years. Now, you're lucky to have them there for the rest of your life.

2. Your high school friendships don’t end just because high school did.

Whether it's over text, facetime, or through your Snapchat streaks, you're keeping up with you're closest friends from high school all the time. Seeing each other in person is just as exciting every time.

3. Living on your own isn’t as hard as it seems.

You are now your own rule maker, and making the right decisions are totally up to you know. Living on your own can be pretty frightening at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad after all.

4. Your first semester of college went by too fast.

When college first started in August, Thanksgiving felt like years away, but it went by so fast. Now you are so happy to finally be done with finals, but you wish first semester never ended.

5. The freshman 15 is a real thing.

You weren't sure if the freshman 15 really existed, but now that first semester has ended, you know it is REAL. You realize it's going to take more than just that one Soul Cycle class you did while home over Thanksgiving isn't going to help you shed those 15 (or so) pounds.

Now that you've also finished this article, relax and continue to EAT over winter break. Before you know it that will be over too and you'll be on to second semester already.
