Freshman Year of College As Told By Friends

Freshman Year of College As Told By Friends

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
