11 Thoughts Hokies Have During Freshman Week, But They're All 'New Girl' .GIFs

Freshman year is all about learning new things about yourself and that includes how you manage living in a dorm room and being on your own. There's nothing better than jumping off the edge that first week and going head first and seeing where you land.

But regardless of where you land, during your flight, I promise that these 11 thoughts will cross your mind!

"Whoa, where did all these guys come from?"

Giphy

For some reason, my hometown population of guys just got increasingly smaller. It's as if it turned into a puddle compared to this ocean of boys that college has to offer all of the sudden. SCORE!!

"Wait, which room is mine again?"

Giphy

Nothing is worse than walking into the wrong dorm room your first week. But hey, you can always play it off like you meant to do it and just introduce yourself. Own It

Sees dorm room for the first time "Wow, so much room for activities!"

Giphy

Haha. That's cute.

Sees your hall mates after that "Welcome Freshman" party

Giphy

That jungle juice made everyone seem like they're your new best friend so naturally, hugs for everyone!!!

"Wait, why did I pick such a BIG school?!"

Giphy

Yeah, let me HIKE across the Drillfield from Pritchard to NCB. OR just hike anywhere at Tech — it's that big.

Giphy

Who said that college was fun? I just wanna talk

"Do people actually use signs to tell their mates that they can't come in?"

Giphy

It's always funny to see one roomie sitting in the hall waiting for a guest to leave their room. Or better yet, when you hear someone yell "Get out!" because the other one didn't get the memo.

"Dude, I thought I was going to miss home cooked meals."

Giphy

You might as well get used to lying to your momma because there's no way you can miss a home cooked meal when you go to Virginia Tech. Best. Food. Ever.

"How does one flirt in college?"

Giphy

Seriously? How does it work?

"Damn, I really should have hit that summer work out that I saved on Pinterest."

Giphy

I thought I was in shape but I guess all the IG models decided to come to Virginia Tech this year because I swear I'm the only potato.

"Wait, it's only been one week?"

Giphy

the first week goes by so fast but so slow at the same time. I would say it changes but... well, good luck Charlie.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

1. "Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
