College is one of the best chapters of your life. Things in high school are not the same as in college; your routines change, your outlook changes and you become just like any other sleep-deprived college student. Do not fret: Here are just 11 things you can expect just within the first few months of your college career. May the odds forever be in your favor.
Wardrobe
T-shirts and leggings with tennis shoes will become a staple in your wardrobe. You may need to add an extra dresser just to hold all your t-shirts and leggings. Soon enough you’ll be wearing a baseball cap at least four out of the seven days.
Friends
You find your best friends in college. The ones that will be with you long after you graduate. You find your true friends. These are the friends who will hold your hair at 3 a.m. when you are puking your guts up or the ones that will be down for an adventure or a cookout run.
Sleep
Sleep will only become a dream. The concept of sleep will slowly slip away. Soon you will be guzzling coffee just to get you through the day.
Food
Ramen, pizza rolls, and rice are the food items that you will hate because you eat them so often, but when you are home nothing will sound better then a bowl of ramen at midnight.
Snow Days
College snow days are very rare; might as well grab your dogsled and bundle up because more than likely you’ll be walking in a foot of snow.
Events
From football to basketball and every sport in between, your school spirit will show. These are the memories you will hold on to forever.
Rain, Rain Go Away
A phrase college students say often. Don’t forget your rain boots or umbrella. It rains more on a college campus then it does in Seattle. Might want to invest in a boat; it will be the easiest way to get to class.
Library
The library will become your second home. Your bad won’t only contain your homework, but phone charger, snacks, and maybe even a blanket. You will have your specific spot, and if anyone is sitting in it you will be ready to go to war.
Coffee
Easily addicting. Stopping in at your local coffee shop or Starbucks will become part of your everyday routine. The baristas will soon know your name and your order, and there is no shame in that.
Parking
Get ready to fight to the death for a parking spot miles from your residence hall.
Adventures
There is no plan in college. Most of the time everything you do, including homework, is spur of the moment. Your friends will call you up to go to the mall, hiking, or a party. Always be prepared because the fun never stops.
