7 Thoughts College Students Have Their First Week
Greenwich College

Whether you're a returning student or a brand new baby freshman, going to college is always a huge transition that's bound to spark any normal functioning human being into at least a slight panic mode. So in case anybody who decided against college is curious as to what mindset their child, best friend, or girlfriend is having during their first week away, here you go.

1. Am I annoying my roommate?

Most freshman and some returning students didn't have a choice on who they're going to live with for a whole year, and that's always super sketchy for both parts. I mean, you don't know wheat their sleeping, cleaning, or studying habits are so you're probably going for the best while still secretly freaking out on the inside.

2. Crap, this class is going to be rough.

There's always at least one challenging class, which could mean extremely boring or difficult to keep up with in general. Either way, crap.

3. Wow, this is going to be my favorite class ever.

This one is less common for most students, but hopefully there's always at least one. Maybe it's because it's a subject that's actually relevant to your major, or maybe you just finally have a professor that doesn't act as robotic as the others. Still, this course will literally help keep you sane throughout the semester.

4. I'm going to get so ahead in all my classes


And then as the third day hits, it never fails: procrastination slaps you harder than the first time you tried talking back to your momma.

5. Is this morning class even worth it?


YES. IT IS. GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND GO.

6. I need a nap.. And food... And another nap..


Tired and hungry are the two most common feelings of the basic college student. You want to make them happy? Give them a pillow, blanket, and McDonald's. Done deal.

7. I miss real food.


Mom. Please. Send me home with ALL the leftovers. I'll never complain again.


Suck it up, buttercup. Go kick butt and make going into debt worthwhile. We got this.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
