As my freshman year of college is coming to a close there have been a few feelings I have come to realize in my short amount of time so far at college. Of course, I have felt many of these in conjunction with one another but here are a few that really stood out. These may or may not be in order...

1. Excited

I'm going to college. The land of opportunity, new friends, endless experiences. Look out world, here I come.

2. Nervous

OK, so I'm supposed to figure out where all my classes are on this campus on my own? What are they crazy?

3. Overwhelmed

I can't do this. There's too much new and too much to do. And I am not prepared. Help me! *Breaks down in tears*

4. Hope

So classes aren't that hard and all these people are really funny and nice. Maybe I can do this...

5. Homesick

I've made it through two breaks and now I'm homesick. It's winter term for goodness sake, this shouldn't be happening.

6. Pure Bliss

This is so fun, no parents, no curfew, no homesickness, no high school drama-- this is home.

7. Stunned

So reality hit and things can go wrong... But I can fix this. I can pass this class, I can mend this friendship, I can do this.

8. Love

I love these new people I've become friends with. They are awesome and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.

9. Melancholy

Summer is swiftly approaching and you're happy to have the time off (and replenish your bank account). But you know you are going to miss all the great friends you've made. But they're going to be there when you get back at the end of the summer to do it all again.
