When you first move in, see campus, and realize all of your freedom.

And you're ready to start your college experience

Then you realize that you don't know anyone...

But soon enough you find your group of friends

Then you start difficult classes that undermine any confidence you built up in high school

But you start to get the hang of things

You realize that your parents aren't around to lend you money so you take the first job you can find.

You also learn that looking nice for class isn't worth missing out on sleep.

Which causes you to redeem yourself by getting glammed up for weekend nights out. And it's worth it.

Even if the night does end poorly...

You struggle through the college dating world.

Somehow you've managed to have every awkward moment imaginable.

But your friends are there to guide you along the way.

And by some miracle you end up finding someone who likes you.

Some days, especially after nights out, it all becomes a little much.

You have a couple emotional breakdowns...

But your friends can always pick you back up.

Then exam week comes, giving a whole new meaning of stress, but you somehow make it through.

Even with all of the struggles college brings, you can't imagine being anywhere else.

Plus, it helps that everyone else there is going through the same thing as you.
