When you meet your new roommate for the first time.

But then you become best friends.

When you're bracing yourself for finals week.

When you tell your friends about your hot new lab partner.

When you walk into a test you know you're going to fail.

The feeling when it takes you hours to get ready for that party or formal.

But then you walk into the place totally feeling your look.

When people from home ask how college is going.

When you have to walk to class in the snow.

When you see a rare puppy on campus and it makes you miss your own dog.

The feeling you get after deciding to take 18 credits.

When you have to deal with the sassiest of professors.

When you check Yik Yak to see if anyone's talking about you or your friends.

When you walk through the student union and pass all of the organizations' fundraisers.

And when you find out that you managed to pass all of your classes for the semester.
