The moment leaving your parents. The farewell to your parents was the easiest and hardest thing to do. You finally get to be free -- no rules, no responsibilities, no constant nagging from them while you are away. However, you are on your own. Mom and Dad won't be there to help you at every call and, let's be honest, they never answer their phones so you don't really even have an option.
The cold roomie. As much as you try to get your brand new roommate to interact with you, they would rather just keep it at a wave. The only time you see them is when they make food or come in from being out. It is really confusing to know if someone just plainly doesn't like you or if they are a hermit.
The excitement for your first party. Getting invited to your first college party, is one of the most exciting and nerve wracking things. You have no idea what to wear because, let's face it, all you wear is t-shirts. You can't wear heels because you are too clumsy to walk in them even when you are sober. It will be the best night even if you aren't happy with your outfit, and you'll always remember that night -- or you might not, depending on how much fun you had.
The oh-so charming older boy. The boy you will probably meet on your first night out, will catch your eye. He is older and the best looking guy you have ever seen. He will be the worst thing for you, but you will be blinded by the idea that he is talking to you. It is a good mistake, because it will lead you to the right person when you figure out that he is not what you thought he was.
The goof that you end up falling for. The boy you over-looked when you were getting that super cute older boy is the right one. He is the sincere one, who was always kind of there, but you did not think much of him. He is going to end up brightening your day and actually make things better for you.
The person who can always cheer you up. Your best friend. They have been there for you through everything. They know everything about you and then, somehow, still like you. Also, they will always cheer you up, no matter how much you try to stay angry. They will annoy you until you laugh. Without a hesitation, you will do the exact same thing.
The best pet. Of course, whenever you come home you have your pet by your feet. The dog will not leave your side because you have been gone for too long. No one can replace the love you have for that animal. You will admit that you miss your dog more than anyone else. Let's be real, they have never let you down and will always be the best thing in your life.
The wise professor. There will be a professor in your college career who will change you. They will either make you want to stay in your major and realize that this is exactly what you want to do with your life, or you will change your major to what ever they are teaching. They will become your mentor, your go-to guy, the one who made you realize who you want to be in your life.
