It's safe to say that the difference between the first semester of freshmen year and the first semester of sophomore year are fairly different. Long story short, during freshmen year, you're at the bottom of the heap.Then sophomore year comes along, and you're suddenly enlightened on how to handle college after having one year under your belt. But in all honesty, there's still a lot to learn!

The first week of freshman year:

The first week can be absolutely terrifying. Who are all these new people walking around that you've never seen before?!

The first week of sophomore year:

Yay! It's so exciting coming back and seeing the friends you made last year after a summer apart!

Calling home freshman year:

While trying to get the hang of this whole college thing, the number one person you'll always turn to is your mom.

Calling home sophomore year:

Basically calls from home never get old!

Classes freshman year:

Before you've experienced college courses, you're still feeling pretty good about that solid high school GPA and ACT score.

Classes sophomore year:

At this point things are getting a little more real in your major and career choice. Cs still get degrees, right?

Eating in the dining hall freshman year:

No parents! The world is your oyster when it comes to food choices!

Eating in the dining hall sophomore year:

You're still trying to work off the Freshman 15, and you're missing your mom's cooking. Send help, stat.

Fall break freshman year:

You may or may not have been counting down the days till you can see your family and pets again.

Fall break sophomore year:

While fall break is still amazing, the period of time before fall break flew by in comparison to freshman year!

Doing laundry freshman year:

You might've had to call mom to ask how to do it a couple times. Or you've just put it off. Either one.

Doing laundry sophomore year:

Hopefully by now you've got the hang of it!

Finals week freshman year:

You're finding yourself super nervous about your first ever college exams and don't even know where to begin studying.

Finals week sophomore year:

You're already kinda done trying to pull it together. But that's OK. All's well that ends well, right?
