You're either a freshman now, or you've been one at some point time. Since the second semester is almost over (only three Mondays left for me), I did some reflecting. This is what came to my head when I ran through the alphabet.

A is for Awesome Parties

It's an undeniable fact that nearly every freshman attends their first college party during the first semester. It's how you live and learn, and figure out what you like and don't like in college.

B is for Books

With each semester, we find that our books cost way more than they need to be costing and question if they're made of gold with the money we spend on them.

C is for Coffee

This will be your best friend for those 8 a.m. classes and the many all-nighters you'll pull.

D is for Domino’s

If you're lucky enough to have one of these gems in your college town, they'll be the fix you're looking for when you come back from those parties on the weekend.

E is for Eating

Literally a go-to (even more than your unlimited meal swipes). The dining hall becomes your other home.

F is for Freshman 15

This is hit or miss. You'll either eat to the 15 pounds because you have unlimited meal swipes, or you'll lose 15 pounds from not eating because the dining hall food is terrible.

G is for Gym

You get a gym membership, thinking you'll be there every day to work out and stay in shape, but in reality, you go once a week for 20 minutes and call it a day.

H is for Homework

Another downfall to college is that there's so much homework sometimes, and it’s so time-consuming, but you'll still be up to going out on the weekend. That’s what Sunday is for.

I is for Independence

You don't realize how much of an adult you'll become in the matter of weeks. You learn a lot about yourself.

J is for Juggling

Learn to time manage as early as possible because you may have a lot to juggle, such as class, homework/assignments, clubs, eating, partying and anything else.

K is for Knowledge

Don’t forget you are here to learn and get a degree for your future.

L is for Library

This will become a second home at one point or another. It also becomes everyone's favorite spot during finals week.

M is for Money

You'll learn quickly that your money flies out of your bank account before you can even say, "I’m broke."

N is for Netflix

Let’s face it, everyone is constantly bingeing some new series on Netflix and not doing their report due at 9 a.m.

O is for Office Hours

If you ever have any issues or need a question to be answered, office hours are a great way to learn more: try and use them.

P is for Parties

As a freshman, the only thing you really want to do on the weekend is hit up parties, even though there is one pong table, you can’t move, it’s hot as hell and the only thing you can do is have fun with yourself.

Q is for Quiet Hours

You'll learn really quickly some people really do care and some don’t. Be careful how loud you are, or the RA on duty may just come knocking on your door.

R is for RA

Hope they're nice and chill as hell. If they're not, you better hope you're on their good side.

S is for Shower Shoes

You better have a pair of sandals packed for the shower, otherwise you're going out and buying a new pair or going "OITNB" real quick.

T is for Tinder

Almost everyone will download Tinder and try to match as many people as they can. Will you meet your Tinderella or Tinderfella?

U is for University Police

You see them everywhere, particular at freshman housing. They also love to give out parking tickets.

V is for Very Emotional

Pretty much you'll be happy then realize you have something to do and then be sad and cry, then you'll think, "You know, I don't care, and I’ll do it later."

W is for Wal-Mart

You better hope your college town has one. This place is magical when you need clothes for themed party, when you need food, or cash back.

X is for Xtra time

You have a lot, but then sometimes I really think about the time I have, and I think LOL, JK, I don't have xtra time.

Y is for Yik Yak

Another app that everyone will download. It's a way to sub tweet or vent or joke around with anyone to see being anonymous. A.k.a. trying tell people on your floor to be quiet.

Z is for Zero Regrets

You'll make a lot of stupid decisions, but in the end you won't regret them because it most likely was super epic and so worth it.
