Freshman Year Of College As Told By 'New Girl'

Freshman year of college is full of countless new experiences and new people. There are so many changes occurring that almost everything in your life requires an adjustment. After a while, it all becomes a daily routine, but it certainly takes a bit to sync in. Here's freshman year of college as told by "New Girl:"

1. Meeting your roommates for the first time.

2. Getting ready for class on the first day.

3. Wondering if you made the right decision on your major.

4. Failing your first exam.

5. When your parents send you a picture of your dog and homesickness kicks in.

6. Trying to avoid the freshman 15.

7. Anytime you go home on the weekends.

8. Waking up for the 8 a.m. classes you thought would be a good idea.

9. When you have three exams, two papers, and one project due in a week.

10. Trying to do laundry without your mom.


11. Finishing your first ever finals week.

12. When the professor calls on you in class.

13. When you go home for break and your family asks if you're in a relationship.

14. Getting last pick for classes.

15. Realizing that you just spent two hours taking Buzzfeed quizzes instead of studying.

16. Finding your true friends.

17. And then looking forward to summer but having to leave your friends.

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.

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.
