Freshman Year Of College As Told By Tarzan
HippoQuotes

Ah yes, my fellow college freshman, I'm overjoyed to say that this first year is coming to a close. Which means we somehow, against all of the odds, did it. Congrats! Yeah that's right, give yourself a pat on the back! Now to reflect on all of these fond (and maybe not-so-fond memories) I believe our man Tarzan can illustrate exactly how this year has treated us.

When it's move-in day and your giving yourself a pep talk to be super confident and friendly so your roommates don't think your weird.

But honestly on the inside you're absolutely terrified that your roommate(s) is going to look at you like the weirdo you know you are...

Then you have to say goodbye to your parents and you act like you're never going to see them again.

You go to your first party off campus, where you get completely drunk (it's your first time drinking). You wake up and realize you're missing your shoes and one of your earrings.

It's your first day of classes and you spend forever trying to find an outfit because you're so used to high school dress codes.

But then you realize everyone is just wearing t-shirts and sweatpants anyway!

Eating for the first time at the cafeteria not knowing how it's going to taste or if you're going to die from it.

But then you see that cute guy from Chemistry class and you're like:

And now the tragedy of Finals week has come around and you're completely overwhelmed with what to expect.

Once you've survived, you move on to your next round of classes and find the same person who was in your classes last semester and they finally speak to you.

Also, you find the cute guy from chemistry class is now in your English lecture so you sit in class like:

By the end of this semester, you start to lose all motivation and are really more worried about laying in bed, catching up on "Grey's Anatomy" and your friends are all like:

And then finals week swing around again and you still somehow are overwhelmed.

And then suddenly the day to move out is upon you and you have to say goodbye to all of your new friends like:

But once you finally arrive home for the summer and your parents see you at the door, you know you've been gone for way too long.

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.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
