The first few weeks of college are done, and as a freshman, you definitely have a million thoughts running through your head at all times. You're so lost as to what's going on, you're sprinting from class to class to not be late, and the syllabi are so overwhelming it's hard to breathe. I bet you've thought of some of these at least once in the first few weeks.
1. Is it obvious I'm a freshman?
I swear upperclassmen can look at me and tell I'm a freshman. Going from the top of the totem pole to allllll the way back at the bottom isn't the best.
2. Can I call my mom now?
Is it acceptable to call your mom right after she leaves? Will I be judged for Facetiming her twice a day?
3. Am I even invited to this party?
In high school, to get to a party you have to be invited and I know I asked a million people before I went to make sure I wouldn't get kicked out. In college, however, if you're a girl, you're presumably invited.
4. But why don't professors tell us when we have homework?
So I'm just supposed to know when I have homework? So I basically have to check the syllabus every day...
5. Why can't this professor just tell us when things are due?
I literally don't understand.
6. Does anybody else feel this way...
Does anybody else want to go home all the time? Feel like they're too stressed to breathe? Want to cry 24/7? Still feel like they're not at home? Constantly wanting to change your dorm around? Feel like you're free from literally all authority? Feel like you're so old?
7. Nobody could've prepared me for this.
If you can relate to any of these, you're probably overwhelmed and stressed AF, but you definitely aren't alone!
8. I miss my friends from home.
If you had a bomb ass friend group from home, you know exactly what I'm talking about! I miss those crazy nut jobs that kept me laughing for hours straight.
9. Could this shower BE any smaller?
College dorm bathroom showers are HELL! If there's anything I've learned it's that I'll never be able to shave my legs in them. Nope. Can't do it. Not happening.
I know for me the first few weeks of college haven't been the best. I've met some great people, but adjusting to this new life isn't easy at all. These next four years are going to be the best and it's definitely going to be an interesting college career.
