Your college application has been sent in and now you play the awful waiting game. You're anxious for those letters or emails to arrive. You're prepared for the worst but hoping for the best. As you grind your way the last few months before graduation, attending all the senior events, hangouts, and lunchtime activities, here are some things you can expect when you're expecting.

College is without a doubt one of the biggest transitions. It's like the same feeling you felt from transitioning from middle school to high school, expect five times WORSE. You feel like you're truly riding with the big dogs now. You could be sitting next to a future lawyer, doctor, engineer, journalist, or CEO of a major company--the possibilities are endless really.

So here are 5 things you can expect in college at whatever great school you choose to go to:

1. Some professors just do not give a crap.

YUP! I said it! Believe it or not kids, some professors don't care whether or not you show up, how you write emails, if you even understand what you're learning. Sometimes, you get really lucky with the few that do really care. But the ones that don't care might expect you to already know things you couldn't possibly know already -- but hey, thank god for Quizlet.

2. Going hungry

Meal plan is no joke. Depending on your school and what kind of meal plan you get, most of the time it's not enough. Food is extremely pricey in college for whatever sinister reason. Expect to stock up on the good ole cup of noodles.

3. Freedom

This might be an obvious one but it definitely is overlooked how much freedom you have. You get so much freedom in college that you don't know what to do with all this time. You can easily get thrown off track and lost within everything that is going on in your life. Most of the time you think you have free is actually the time you should be spending studying or not procrastinating.

4. Making and losing friends

The sad and okay truth. You make a lot of amazing friends in college. People you feel are the real ones, that'll be at your wedding, or who you instantly connect with. The sad truth is you will lose friends. I don't think I've ever met someone who has said they haven't lost touch with friends from high school.

Life gets busy and sometimes people don't understand that once you've moved on to the next chapter. But that is OK. The ones who stick by you are the ones that were always real friends. It's OK that you don't constantly talk to your friends because this is the time you're focusing on yourself -- the future you.
