The first day of school. New classes and new year goals mostly unrealistic but still welcomed. For some college students a new semester is the ability to reinvent themselves or for others, it's just like any other day. Here are different college moods you will be seeing across campus.
Fresh Meat
Julia Smith
Ahhh, freshman, you know one when you see one. Either they are decked out in their new Greek letters, ridiculous pledge outfits, or simply that die-hard Bama fan who just wanted to make sure everyone knows that he goes to UA. Let the young ones enjoy their first day and know that blackboard confusion will be a dilemma for the next week. I was defiant that excited freshman ready to rep my letters and a northerner trying to fit in with Chacos that I now know are a trend that is so overrated.
The Celebrity Wannabe
GiphyI'm all for self-love and if a fully contoured face makes you feel you're best, you do you. Alabama fall semester's climate is hot and humid and personally, I would not enjoy sitting in a classroom while my face melts. Plus your face will be covered by your laptop screen taking notes and no one will be able to see the new highlighter your rocking. There will always be that student who looked like they just walked off the red carpet.
The Lost Student
There will be a handful of students who will walk around campus and realize they passed Morgan Hall five times. Best advice, leave twenty minutes early to make sure you can at least find the quad.
I'm Late For The First Day
The student who panics if they are seconds late to their class in fear of being forever shunned by a professor.
The Over-Prepared Polly
That one student who has every colored pen, folder, binder, and needs to strategically place them on their desk even though the only information you will receive is on the first day is the syllabus.
The Summer Semester Survivors
Honestly, so much respect to the students who spent their summer in the classroom and returning this fall. these students are not phased by the new semester and are simply doing the same routine just different classes.
MY College Mood!
I am super excited for the first day of school this time around. I definitely will do things differently than I did freshman year, but still, find myself getting excited about new pencils and class material! No matter what kind of college student you are, I hope you have a great semester filled with good grades and high aspirations!
