When They Had 5 Seconds To Breathe, I Asked 15 College Students How Their First Week Of School Was Going

In This Article:

Ahh, college. It's grown up boarding school. For some, it's their first time away from home and family. Moving into dorms is a whole day's event and classes just seem to start out of the blue.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle during the first week of college classes, I asked 15 different people about their first week and how it was going.

These are their answers.


1. "Pretty good. My classes just suck and I hate my chemistry teacher."

2. "Good. I just don't like getting up for my 7 am class. It's so far away from my dorm. I don't even have time to eat."

3. "It's going great. I don't have any complaints. I am so excited for this year, though."

4. "It's really fun actually. I like it so far. I saw an old lady with a rolling backpack. One of my professors didn't take roll or introduce himself."

5. "It's going good. My classes are all easy. I've been to the pool twice, so that's nice. I'm chillin'."

6. "It's good. All of my professors are fine, for now. My classes are all interesting."

7. "It isn't as bad, as I thought it was going to be. It's kind of like high school. I met cool people in my classes, too."

8. "It was okay. It's just going to be a hard semester. I already know it."

9. “My professor reminds me of my dad, which is super funny. I am actually  excited to go to my classes. It’s not like high school, where I had to go to classes I didn’t like.”

10. “I love how everyone is so talkative in my classes. It makes my classes more interesting.”

11. “The first week here was really hot. My classes are already stressing me out. My roommates are cool, so I’m having a good time.”

12. “I got my work cut out for me. Tuesdays suck, but it’s going to be a good year.”

13. “I skipped both of my classes today. My professors are nice. But I still feel like I’m going to miss classes again this year.”

14. “I like my classes. They’re really cool  for the most part. I’m just hungry all the time.”

15. “It’s going good. I just think that this is going to be a tough year for me. But I am ready for this year and I’m so excited.”

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
