12 Freshman Year of College Problems in GIFS

1. Your roommates are going to be one of two kinds of people.


2. The first week, you are going to have no idea where your classes are... because who actually pays attention during orientation.


3. Then even when you know where they are... you're still running across campus to get to your next class like...


4. Then there are those mornings when you are looking like this because you clearly went out last night.

5. Then, just as you thought you were getting into the groove of things, your computer crashes at 5 a.m. and your paper is due in three hours and you didn’t save it.



And turning it in like...


6. Because Netflix is your best friend on those nights in, you'll find yourself becoming addicted to a new TV series right before midterms or finals.


7. BUT you promised yourself you'd sustain some self control. At least you tried until you slept through your alarm the next day and realized you’re late for that same midterm or final anyway.


8. Then when things don't go the way you want, you'll end up daydreaming about what would happen if you just dropped out of college and became a stripper. Don't worry, we’ve all been there.

9. Sooner or later your going to find yourself becoming dependent on coffee and energy drinks during finals week.

10. Beware the freshman 15. In a world where funds are low, stress is high, and comfort food is also readily available to you at your nearest grocery store... there's a chance your clothes might not end up fitting the same.

11. Chances are you are going to be the poorest you’ve ever been…

12. But despite this you'll have to find a way to pay for textbooks.

The first quarter of Freshman year can be shocking, confusing, and without a doubt... different. So knowing what's ahead is really important. So get prepared but don't be scared. Everything's going to be ok! And remember, these will be one of the best years of your life.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
