So it's your first year of college. Things are really overwhelming, I know. Making friends is awkward, you miss home like crazy, and it really feels like your history professor is out to get you. However, I'm here to tell you that everything works out just fine in the end.
College is a whirlwind of emotions and things happening, and it's unlike anything you've experienced thus far. Friends are everywhere, just be open to them.
When someone asks to sit with you in the cafeteria say yes-they'll end up becoming one of your best friends. Its hard to balance your old life back home and your new life in college, but you'll soon find out who the friends were who are willing to put in the work to stay in your life.
The longer you're in this tiny town, the more and more it'll feel like home. By the time you're a senior, you'll wonder how a place the size of shoe box can feel more like home than the town you've spent your whole life does.
Your classes will be hard at times. Just do your work and you're gonna be fine. You change your major a couple times, but everyone does. Don't worry about the fact that you don't have everything figured out yet, no one does.
The first month or so of college is really rough. It's lonely and awkward and a million other things, but the rest of college is the better than you can even imagine.I'm almost jealous of you because you get to experience all of the things that turned into the best memories I have.
These next few years will test you, but they'll show you what you're made of.
