1. You meet a numerous amount of people in college. Some will be your best friend and others will just be a familiar face. But, you will come across those certain individuals that get under your skin. It is very normal, it is not like High School where you have to like everyone. It's acceptable to have your differences. But, you get tired of these people when you are in the same facility as them 24/7.
2. There are several times where there is absolutely nothing to do. In those 2 hour breaks between classes it is a long period of time but too short of a time to actually do something. Also, of course with stress what else are you going to do? In college all you do is eat! Hungry or not! The Freshman 15 is not a myth.
3. At the end of the semester you have three 10 page papers due, four lab reports, eight tests before you even have actual finals week with tests on tests. On top of all of this, you also have to clean and pack your dorm room with the hopes of fitting your life into your tiny beater car!
4. College means Freedom. Freedom means being able to do what you want. This means making stupid decisions with your friends. Like when you get locked on the roof of a building when you are just trying to watch the sunset or going to a buffet where the sign says dinner is $8 and it ends up being $12. In college, unfortunate events take place all the time.
5. There will be those unbearable nights of nonstop studying and working on projects or an essay. There will be nights where you are awake until 3A.M. when you have an 8A.M. the next day whether you want to be or not. You will get so aggravated you want to cry and scream at any person that tries to have a conversation with you in the process.
6. You and your besties will go to the local bar or Frat house and break out your best dance moves on a wild Saturday Night! Do not worry about being trapped inside because there will ALWAYS be something to do.
7. All the worrying you had before moving into college not worth it. Everything works out in the end. You WILL find your people. You will meet the people that will stay in your life until the day you die. College friends are forever. Do not fret because everything happens for a reason and it will work out for the better.
8. As excited as you will be to be with your home friends again, it will be very hard to say goodbye to your college pals when it is time to go home in May. 4 months is a long time apart after spending 24 hours every single day with the same people at school. But hey, being home means showering barefoot and sleeping in your own bed! No matter how hard saying goodbye is, it is not forever.
