The first week of college is a week of ups and downs, and a lot of out with the old in with the new. This week will test your strengths and maybe even your weaknesses. Luckily, Ron Swanson doesn't have any weaknesses, but he perfectly understands what you went through/are going through at this time in your life.

Moving In:

Meeting your RA:

Heading to the cafeteria the first morning:

When you realize your campus is on a budget and by the time you get breakfast there is only skim milk left:

Understanding that the cafeteria is all you can eat:

You’ll have to eat some form of fruits and vegetables to stay somewhat healthy:


Taking Tupperware to the cafeteria to save food for later:

Thinking about the goodbyes you made to your friends back home:

Realizing you have to make all new friends:

Realizing you won’t make as many instant best friends as you imagined you would:

How you feel about taking an art appreciation class:

Procrastinating because you already have so much to do:

Realizing that college is a lot of what you put into it:

Walking around the student organization fair like:

Making multiple trips to the supermarket for everything you missed:

Knowing you're in one of the best places to people watch:

Going to your first college party thinking:

You can now say anything. You’re now an adult

You made it through the first week!!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating.
