11 Times 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Described The First Days Of Freshman Year

Be it the stress, the sadness, the happiness, or the hassle of the first days of this new chapter in our lives, Brooklyn Nine-Nine knows how we feel. (some of this are specifically Villanova)

First week of freshman year is packed with stress, fears, laughs, and many many questions about your meal plan, but the detectives over at the 99th precinct totally get it. So here are 11 times Brooklyn Nine-Nine totally got what the first week at college is like for freshman. Noice.

1. I'm an adult now

First there's that one moment when you realize it. You have to start being an adult. Sure, we are not 100% adults, but we are on our way. You see your friends concerned about little things like laundry, or bigger things like "yes my plans after college are...". I know it's freshman year so we are in level 1 of adulthood, but somehow we are here whether we acknowledge it or not. We are no longer high school kids, we are college people. When did that happen?

2. Home sick sickness 

We all get a little homesick. It doesn't really matter where we come from, at some point or other it hits us, the people I have surrounded myself with for years are no longer here. You miss your home (or homes) a little, sometimes even a lot. It's time to make a new place your home with a new family of sorts, which might me a little overwhelming. It's normal to let out a few tears, they can be sad tears or frustrated tears or scared tears. Just let it out.

3. Early bird gets the worm (and zero sleep)

You finally start looking at your schedule, your schedule for the next 6 months, and suddenly you see it...AN 8:30 CLASS. I am well aware that other universities may have earlier classes, so I can only speak for Villanova in this case. This is the earliest class there is and it means getting up early enough to get breakfast and then walk all the way to your class, which hopefully is as close as possible (it probably isn't). Regardless of whether you like coffee or not, I can almost guarantee you will be drinking it, even if it's begrudgingly, at some point.

4. Calle me by my first name

While some professor are very clear on the fact that they worked their asses off to get their title and insist on students using it, with all due reason, there are always those professors who are fine with you calling them by their first name. This is most likely the first time this happens in our lives. A big authority evens out the playing a field a little an insists, "call me by my first name, and I'll call you by yours" (no professor has actually said this, but wouldn't it be great?). The professor isn't your friend at the moment, but first name basis sure does feel like the start of a possible friendship.

5. Will this be coming on the test?

I'm realizing now that maybe this one doesn't apply to every freshman out there, but aren't we all at least a little nervous that maybe we'll miss some crucial piece of information during the first class? If you feel this struggle, then you are also probably writing down every seemingly important thing the professor says (if you are really nerdy maybe you'll write down something that's in the syllabus, "just in case"). But let's face it, everyone's inner Amy Santiago pops up during the first few days when you are still convinced that this year you'll be organized and responsible.

6. I've got my ish together

It's your first day and you get your first piece of homework. Easy peasy. You may even go work out or sit back and watch a movie. It's all going great and this college thing is easier than you thought. This is as far as I've gotten in my college experience, but form what I heard this is a big misconception and we are in for a treat. I can't wait for the long hours of study and the short hours of sleep, but for now it's time to enjoy the breezy first days of freshman year.

7. Healthy eating 

It's safe to say we are all aware of the dreaded freshmen 15 *horror music plays in the background*, and to battle against them we all swear we'll try eating healthy. Heck maybe we'll even go work out. It will all be fine as long as we don't let all the options in the dinning halls get to us. Just eat what you need to survive, and you'll be fine. You can do this, you can dodge the freshmen 15.

8. Or not...

SIKE, YOU THOUGHT. No matter how healthy you are, we all give up at least once for that little midnight craving or a small indulgence on the basis of "self care day" or being anxious about a class. All joking aside, we should try staying as healthy as possible, but never pass up a fineee looking muffin or a good slice of pizza on a Friday.

9. Have you tried turning it on and off?

I haven't personally tried printing at the Spit, but I've only heard horror stories. Once you try printing out something with one of the university's computers, with a line of people behind you, and probably a bit late for class, you'll start a war against the slow computers and probably decide to start printing somewhere else.

10. But it was in the SYLLABUS 

Let me paint you a picture. You get your syllabus, you look at the list of books for this semester, you get really excited so you make the decision to buy them. But then the professor tells you, "oh yea, we aren't going to use that book. I've replaced it with another one". WHAT. But, but, but...you waited hours in the line of the bookstore to get that specific book, and you bought it. WHYYYYY. (usually you can return it or maybe sell it to someone else, so all hope is not lost)

11. Party etiquette 

And lastly, college parties. Look I know some people are social butterflies and are ready for parties, but for the sake of this list let's remember we are all freshmen. No matter how social, there is that little bit of awkwardness because we have gone from being the seniors in high school to being the freshmen, the little ones, in college. Of course it's going to be a little weird at first (see the Awkward Luau), but soon enough we'll adapt and finally feel sure of what to do at parties. But for now, we can all stand in the middle of the room awkwardly, together.

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. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
